CCM Jazz features legendary hits from Count Basie on Sept. 17

The CCM Jazz Orchestra presents its first concert of the 2023-24 performance season on Sunday, Sept. 17, with it's "Basie Land" concert; tickets are on sale now through the CCM Box Office. 

The 90-minute concert celebrates the music of the world-famous Count Basie Orchestra and their legendary hits including, April in Paris, Shiny Stockings, Moten Swing and a host of other classic swingers!

In the history of Jazz music, there is only one band leader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold out concerts all over the world, with members personally chosen by him, for over 30 years after his passing. Pianist and band leader William James “Count” Basie was and still is an American institution that personifies the grandeur and excellence of Jazz. The Count Basie Orchestra has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once, won 18 Grammy Awards, performed for Kings, Queens, and other world Royalty, appeared in several movies, television shows, at every major jazz festival and major concert hall in the world.
