Count ____ of jazz (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

basie

'count of jazz' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for basie that I've seen before include "jazz great" , "Count ___ , US jazz pianist, d. 1984" , "Bandleader Count" , "Band leader" , "Jazz musician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Star Tribune.
