Directed by Bill Hughes

For the first time ever on the Webb Centers stage, The Count Basie Orchestra, featuring vocalist Carmen Bradford, will thrill audiences with their 75th anniversary celebration of big band rhythms and their Kansas City Swing style! "Timeless, priceless and still the genuine article" the majority of the sound still swings from musicians handpicked by Basie himself including director, Bill Hughes. With 17 Grammy awards, these talented artists will take you on a nostalgic trip with “The Swingingest Band In All The Land.”
