Easin It, arranged by Frank Foster. from Jazz Icons Count Basie Live in 1962, concert DVD from Sweden. This features a nice introductory solo by Basie (dig Freddie Green, Eddie Jones and Sonny Payne!) and the brass section. Sonny Cohn was still pretty new to the band and Snooky Young was soon to leave. >>Comments from Liner Notes by Chris Sheridan: An unusual soloing sequence unfolds. First are the trombones exchanging short sequences – Henry Coker (4 bars), Quentin Jackson (4), Benny Powell (8), Jackson (4), Coker (8), Powell (4) and Jackson with the last word (4). Then it is the turn of the trumpets—three sequences of Al Aarons (4), Sonny Cohn (4), Snooky Young (4) and Thad Jones (4). “And that was the brass section,” Basie exclaims at the end, with just a hint of pride. Piano: Count Basie Alto Sax: Marshal Royal and Frank Wess Tenor Sax: Eric Dixon, Frank Foster, Frank Wess Baritone Sax: Charlie Fowlkes Trumpet: Al Aarons, Sonny Cohn, Thad Jones, Snooky Young Trombone: Henry Coker, Quentin Jackson, Benny Powell .
