Count Basie - 88 Basie Street - Analogue Productions Pablo LP

180 Gram Vinyl — Analogue Productions Pablo Reissue

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 veterans and relative youngsters to produce the immediately identifiable Basie sound and spirit. Sam Nestico's arrangements are featured on four tracks; on the remaining two, Basie heads up a small unit with saxophonists Chris Woods and Kenny King, trumpeter Bob Summers, and guitar wizard Joe Pass.
