Contact seller5-star sellerVintage photograph of Count Basie with his orchestra in the RCA-Victor studio in 1947. Provenance stamps and the stamp of photographer Conrad Eiger on the verso. Basie was one of the best known jazz pianist band leaders in history, having begun his career by accompanying silent films and moving on to create his own innovative ja…zz orchestra, which pioneered techniques like riffing with a large band, emphasizing the rhythm section, and utilizing arrangers to broaden their sound (including a young Quincy Jones). From the archive of the PIX Agency, an American photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with layout annotations in manuscript ink on the recto margins.
