(13) Count Basie: The Kansas City Years
It was in Kansas City that Bill Basie became the Count, and this installment of the Basie story tells why. Tom Pendergast's Kansas City was a wide open town that attracted musicians from as far east as New York and as far west as Los Angeles. According to Claude "Fiddler" Williams, "If you had the Kansas City style, you had made it." Basie had been in Kansas City in the mid-'20s with Katie Krippen, but it was in Oklahoma City that he heard a sound that would lead to the birth of his first band. That group would feature drummer Jo Jones, saxophonist Lester Young and bassist Walter Page and it would take up residence at the Reno Club, where broadcasts on W9XBY helped to project and promote the band's image across America (NPR)

Cuba has been the source of music that has influenced musicians throughout the world
