In Swingin' the Blues, a distinguished group of Basie alumni-including early band stars Harry 'Sweets' Edison, Earle Warren and Claude Williams, and later stars like Illinois Jacquet, Buddy Tate and Joe Williams-lend their insights. The film is generously supported with vintage performance footage beginning in the 1930s, and master recordings of the greatest Basie sessions.
