Since Count Basie was an iconic jazz figure at the time this film came out, “Big Band Bwana” uses the sparse piano style with the vivid contrasts in dynamics so characteristic of the Basie band. Vibes and alto sax get their licks in this brief piece which also has two trumpet challenges, one hot the other slightly more mellow. It’s great fun to listen to and the title itself could be used to describe a person’s personal music tastes!
