88 Basie Street

by Count Basie Orchestra, Count Basie & His Orchestra

Overview

One of Basie's final albums, the very appealing title cut seems to sum up his career, a lightly swinging groove with a strong melody. Two small-group performances with guest Joe Pass on guitar and the tenor of Kenny Hing add variety to a particularly strong set. ~ Scott Yanow
