I feel that big bands have gotten short shrift on this thread. This is probably my favorite of them all; amazing sense of swing, tightness and subtley. The article in my previous post refers to jazz players "trading fours". For anyone who cares, in the first tune of this clip the members of Basie's brass section trade fours. What a band! Check out the interaction between Basie and Sonny Payne (drums) in the opening tune; amazing. Enjoy.
