CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description One of the pieces on this album is called The Blues Machine, which could stand as a description of the big band Count Basie operated for half a century. In the 1983 edition, Basie molded the talents of a mixture of veterans and relative newcomers to produce the immediately identifiable Basie sound and spirit. Sal Nistico's arrangements are featured on four tunes. 88 Basie Street captures the master in outstanding sound recorded by Allen Sides at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood. Featuring these songs: Bluesville, 88 Basie Street, Contractor's Blues, The Blues Machine, Katy, Sunday at the Savoy with Booty Wood, Grover Mitchell, Dennis Wilson. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSuperb sound quality. J. Hollerman | Minneapolis, MN | 06/05/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This recording has some of the best sound quality I have ever heard from a standard CD, (not an SACD). It will play on a standard CD player and is a beautiful recording, done one year before Count Basie died of pancreatic cancer. A very fine effort. I haven't heard the standard CD version of this recording, but the JVC XRCD version, which I bought, is absolutely exceptional. I have been told by those who have heard both versions, is markedly superior to the non-XRCD CD version."
