Count Basie does not have any spoken lines in Blazing Saddles. He appears in a cameo as himself, playing the piano and leading his orchestra in a performance of "April in Paris" in the middle of the desert. While he does not speak, he exchanges a "low five" (hand slap) with Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) as Bart rides past the band.
Count Basie did not have any lines in the movie Blazing Saddles.
While the movie features an appearance by Basie and his orchestra playing "April in Paris," this scene is a non-speaking cameo. Basie himself is shown conducting the band, but he does not deliver any dialogue or have an interaction with the main characters that involves speaking. His role is purely musical and visual.
The summary states he has no interaction 'that involves speaking', but fails to mention the famous 'low five' hand gesture he exchanges with Sheriff Bart, which is a key part of the cameo's humor.
The summary describes him as 'conducting', but he is famously shown playing the piano in the desert.
