Among recent honors are a 2024 Grammy for Best Large Jazz Ensemble and the 2018 Downbeat Readers Poll Award as the #1 Jazz Orchestra in the world. For their 90th Anniversary Tour, jazz royalty Nnenna Freelon (a 7-time Grammy Award nominee) is featured guest vocalist, bringing her luminous voice and commanding presence to this powerhouse performance. From classic hits to modern interpretations, the Basie band honors its rich legacy while keeping the music fresh, alive, and full of joy. \nNneena Freelon\nDuring her career, Nneena Freelon has performed at The White House, headlined the Asia Pacific Economic Summit for three hundred Presidents and Head of States, toured the United States as a spokesperson for the National Association of Partners in Education, and starred in the show Georgia on My Mind: Celebrating the Music of Ray Charles.
