We are very pleased to offer this beautiful Count Basie cardboard poster for the FIRST TIME in our auction! Cardboard posters are super popular and remain one of the most highly sought after type of concert memorabilia ever known. In the world of jazz music Count Basie stands out as a true icon. In 1963 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. Very few of these original pre-concert cardboard jazz posters have survived in ANY condition!
