Count Basie Orchestra

March 29 – April 1, 2012

Benaroya Hall, 200 University Street, Seattle, WA

Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles are just a few of the collaborations this Orchestra has celebrated. One of the greatest and legendary big bands of all time brings its own signature of swing to the stage.

On this evening the band will be under the direction of the illustrious drummer and arranger Dennis Mackrel. Dennis Mackrel began drumming at the age of 2 and became an award winning performer. Basie said about Mackrel that he “is already a good Drummer…one day he’s really actually going to be a monster.”
