Big Dipper was originally commissioned by Count Basie for an entire album of Thad Jones' music; however, Basie never made the record, instead suggesting that Thad start his own band. Big Dipper still maintains that swinging Basie mindset and is an extended 16-bar blues. Its basic foundations are a relaxed but powerful rhythm section with a driving ride cymbal and crisp hi-hat underpinning saxes and brass that are tight and always on the back of the beat.
