Even if it's just the orchestra, I wouldn't be too worried about missing it. The greatest members of his bands are long dead, the best that's still alive to my knowledge is Louis Bellson, and he's not exactly in prime condition.

The Count Basie orchestra still plays some awesome jazz standards to this very day.
