Basie Plays The Beatles Tickets

Basie Plays The Beatles brings together the iconic Basie sound with the timeless music of The Beatles. Led by the Count Basie Orchestra under the direction of Scotty Barnhart, this project reimagines Beatles favorites through swinging big-band arrangements, a hallmark of Basie’s storied legacy. Historical connections run deep: Basie released Basie’s Beatle Bag in 1966 (Verve) and Basie on the Beatles in 1970 (Happy Tiger), both featuring Basie-led big-band interpretations. The liner notes for Basie on the Beatles were written by Ringo Starr, underscoring the mutual respect between these legendary artists. Today, the Count Basie Orchestra continues a Grammy-winning tradition and remains a dynamic force in jazz and audience-wide celebration of classic pop repertoire.
