Jazzpianisti William James "Count" Basien (1904 - 1984) 1935 perustama yhtye nousi nopeasti big band -aikakauden johtohahmoksi. Kansas City Swing -tyyliä edustavalla yhtyeellä on edelleen erityinen sointinsa, "Basie way", jota jäljitellään maailmanlaajuisesti. Monet jazzhistorian kirkkaimmista tähdistä, kuten Billie Holiday, Thad Jones ja Joe Williams, ovat työskennelleet yhtyeen kanssa. Savoy-teatterin konsertissa 17-henkinen kokoonpano täydentyy yhtyeen vakituisella laulusolistilla Carmen Bradfordilla, joka on työskennellyt orkesterissa vuodesta 1983. Bradfordin lisäksi myös pasunisti Clarence Banks on soittanut orkesterissa Count Basien johdolla. The Count Basie Orchestraa on johtanut vuodesta 2013 trumpetisti, kaksinkertainen Grammy-voittaja Scotty Barnhart. Edellisen kerran yhtye on vieraillut Suomessa vuonna 2008.
