Notes

Part of the 2003 Fantasy 45 Series 
Mastered By Steve Hoffman & Kevin Gray at AcousTech Mastering 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 a mixture of veterans and relative newcomers to produce the immediately identifiable Basie sound and spirit. Sal Nistico's arrangements are featured on four tunes. 88 Basie Street captures the master in outstanding sound recorded by Allen Sides at OceanWay Studios in Hollywood. Featuring these songs: "Bluesville," "88 Basie Street," "Contractor's Blues," "The Blues Machine," "Katy," "Sunday at the Savoy" with Booty Wood, Grover Mitchell, Dennis Wilson.
"Yeah, 88 (Basie Street) at 45 is a killer. Man...it should be made illegal! Hoffman and Kevin Gray really have it together out there." - Joe Harley
