Count Basie & His Orch - 88 Basie Street (XRCD) (FLAC) torrent

Recorded 11th & 12th May 1983.

Review by Scott Yanow:
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.
