We are very pleased to offer this LARGE classic boxing style Count Basie poster for the FIRST TIME in our auction! This relic was produced for three dates in February including Valentine's Day in 1970 at the High Chaparral in Chicago. When one discusses the world of jazz music Count Basie stands out as a true icon. In the 1960's he made a huge comeback when producer Quincy Jones arranged and conducted the album “This Time by Basie!” which launched the Count back onto the pop charts right before the british invasion. His recent album "Basie on the Beatles" was popular around the time of this Chicago run of shows. Very few of these original pre-concert jazz posters have survived the test of time in ANY condition!
