Kansas City 8: Get Together is an album by Count Basie and an octet of musicians, released in 1979 by Pablo Records. It was produced by Norman Granz and is part of the 'Kansas City' series that celebrated the jazz roots of that city.
The album features a reduced lineup including Basie on piano, along with musicians such as saxophonist Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis and trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison. The recording focuses on blues and swing arrangements, with an emphasis on collective improvisation.
Get Together was praised for its energy and cohesion, highlighting the chemistry among the jazz veterans. It is considered a late example of Basie's small group style, though not as well-known as his work with the full orchestra.
