Count Basie Will Swing Out on Network Tonight

Count Basie, personal commentaries and band included, will be the feature attraction on the Crimson Network this evening. The Count will be featured in a special two hour Hall studio at 9 o'clock, and his band will be featured i na special two hour broadcast, beginning at 10 o'clock.

Interviewing the Count at 9 o'clock will be hep-cat Charlie Miller, who, when presented with a stereotyped interview-script made out by Basie's press agent, scoffed, "Heck, man, I don't need this stuff; I make my own conversation."

The two hour broadcast from the Adams House Dance will be spiced with interviews with members of the Basie band with impromptu chatter from people attending the dance.
