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.

Hard to go wrong with Basie. You might try "Chairman of the Board" if you can find it, but all the ones on Roulette and Pablo are pretty great, not to mention his early stuff on Columbia and other labels.
Agree with Dopogue's comments. I also really like "Chairman of the Board".
try the album on verve "the essential Basie" great playing and good sounding recording.
