It always blows me away seeing the common handbills in the background of photos back in the day, that so casually lists all these amazing people as if *gasp* they where less then giants. heh.

Though I posted the Fats link last year on his hundredth birthday, I'm not complaining; Fats is certainly worth more than a single post.
Along with Fats and the Count, the Rutgers Site also features Benny Carter and Mary Lou Williams. Let's give equal time -- they're all worth your interest.

Hat tip Quinbus Flestrin -- when I searched on 'waller' I skimmed looking for 'fats'. But that Rutgers site is a fine one.

Anyone who thinks of Basie's piano style as consisting of the occasional well-placed plunk should listen to his recordings with Bennie Moten's band—those rampaging runs on, say, "Prince of Wails" would be the envy of anyone this side of Art Tatum. An amazing musician and bandleader who doesn't, I think, get quite enough respect.
