Creative Quotations from Count Basie (1904-1984) born on Aug 21 US jazz pianist, composer; one of the outstanding organizers of big bands in jazz history; his hits include "One O’clock Jump," 1937.

All I wanted was to be big, to be in show business and to travel… and that’s what I’ve been doing all my life.

Play like you think, and then you got it, if you're going to get it.

It's the way you play that makes it… And whatever you get, that's you, so that's your story.

If you play a tune and a person don't tap their feet, don't play the tune.

I'm saying: to be continued, until we meet again I'm saying: to be continued, until we meet again. Meanwhile, keep on listening and tapping your feet.
