Basie rarely did a bad record, but if what you like is the recording quality "88 Basie Street" is exceptional. All of his records on the Pablo label, which were recorded late in his life, are very well recorded. In fact, Pablo in general has very high recording values. Another to check out is Roy Eldridge's "What it's All About".
Count Basie "88 Basie Street
Recently I heard the album 88 Basie Street and was very impressed.
I'm not to familiar with his music but loved what I heard.
Is that an exceptional album or are there others that he made that are better ?
Anyone with suggestions will be appreciated.
