Shorty Rogers Courts the Count is a 1954 tribute album that blends Rogers' West Coast jazz style with Count Basie's minimalist piano and call-and-response arrangements. Inspired by Basie's influence on leading arrangers, Rogers captures the essence of Basie's New Testament band and Neal Hefti's arrangements, creating a unique dialogue between two jazz greats.
