William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904– April 26, 1984) was a jazz pianist, organist, composer, and bandleader.

As they titled one album, they were all "The Greatest." Sites: Discogs and Wikipedia .

Desyn is one of the very few djs in recent years that has stood out and caught the ear of some of the worlds largest DJs (Deep Dish, Sander K and Danny Howells nominating him as their 'future DJ Hero' in DJ Magazine's Top 100 poll 2002).With many established DJs and nucomer DJs leaning towards a particular style and musical range many are pigeon holed into a 'genre' of music.
