The Paul Keller Orchestra/A Tribute To Count Basie was recorded live in concert on Sunday, October 22, 2002 at Temple Beth-El in Bloomfield Hills, MI. The Windsor/Detroit Jazz Club sponsored this special jazz event and the Paul Keller Orchestra shined as they paid tribute to the great Count Basie. Bassist/leader Paul Keller says, "Count Basie has always been one of my heroes. The PKO loves to play his music and hip listeners dig it, too!"

On this CD, pianist James Dapogny plays inspired solos that are faithful to the Count Basie tradition. Drummer Pete Siers swings like crazy! The PKO sounds great! This is a fun CD filled with many familiar Basie classics from 1933 to 1958.
