The bandleader who served as a bridge between Fletcher Henderson's bands and modern big bands, and is closely associated with Kansas City Swing, is Count Basie. Basie's orchestra was known for its distinctive style that emphasized improvisation, a strong rhythm section, and a relaxed yet energetic feel. His innovative approach helped to shape the big band sound that became popular in the 1930s and beyond, influencing many future jazz musicians.
