"Remembering Basie" - A Panel Discussion
To fully appreciate Basie's music and spirit, we are very fortunate to have four panelists who will help us remember Basie and give us an inside look of this creative genius. Two of the panelists, Frank Foster and Benny Powell, played in Basie's band for over a decade. They will be joined by Phil Schaap a famous jazz historian and radio personality for WKCR and Frankie Manning, a major force for the development of Lindy Hop. This panel will be moderated by Paul Overton, a highly regarded Lindy Hop instructor.
