Lynn Baker at Cherokee Ranch & Castle Musical Series at Cherokee Ranch & Castle

"The Atomic Mr. Basie"
Presented by the Lamont School of Music & Lynn Baker
Saturday, August 4: 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m., Veranda Tent
All-Inclusive Reservations: $55 features Castle Mini-Tour, Supper Buffet, Cash Bar, Performance, and Dessert & Coffee Reception with the Musicians.

Experience Big Band at its finest, “The Atomic Mr. Basie.” Not as daring as what Duke Ellington had done at Newport in 1956 but still a reminder that there was room for fresh, even dazzling improvisation (especially courtesy of Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis’ contribution) within the framework of a big-band jazz unit. Hear Li’l Darlin, Basie’s band answer to Ellington’s Mood Indigo. If you love Big Band, you will not want to miss this performance!...
