Wow, that an interesting coincidence. I think that Count Basie was post-humously given a major award (by Billboard?) in the same year our Joan was.
c Karma described the cover of downbeat with the review of "MINGUS" >>>>> This image said it all: the cover of DownBeat had a "Shadows and Light" tour photo on it. There were two names on the cover in reference to stories within. The one set in SMALLER type was Count Basie!>>>>>
