It was this unerring timing and incredible drive that made the Count Basie Orchestra the epitome of swinging joie de vivre. The album "Kansas City Suite," a collection of tributes to places, streets and clubs in Kansas City, where Basie began his career in the 1920s, ushered in a fruitful time for the big band some 40 years later. The 10-movement suite was composed by Benny Carter especially for Count Basie and the outstanding soloists in his orchestra, which at the time included Marshal Royal, Frank Wess, Frank Foster, Thad Jones, Snooky Young, Al Gray and Sonny Payne.
