Pianist and bandleader William "Count" Basie inherited leadership of the Bennie Moten band in Kansas City when Moten died in 1935 and turned it into the great streamlined zephyr of the swing era. It was a big band that played with the flexibility and drive of a small group. It also included a core of some of the most distinctive soloists in jazz history. But above all, the first Basie band brought a new modernity and mobility to jazz rhythm that led straight to bebop. In the 1950s he re-formed along new lines shaped by a group of arrangers that gave a permanence to what was once ephemeral.
