Synopsis

Count Basie (1904-1984), pianist, composer, and icon of big-band jazz, known for such classics as Jumpin' at the Woodside, Cherokee, and One O'Clock Jump, recounts his life story to Albert Murray with all the charm and dry humor of two friends sitting at the kitchen table. Good Morning Blues is both testimony and tribute to a remarkable, rich life.
