Have a Nice Day (Count Basie album)

Have a Nice Day is a 1971 studio album by Count Basie and his orchestra, with all music composed and arranged by Sammy Nestico.

Sammy Nestico, a graduate of Duquesne University who worked for the US Air Force Band, primarily the Airmen of Note, in Washington, DC for 12 years after World War II, had at this time been writing for Basie for four years.

McCarthy overlaid the first few bars of the song with the sound of a wind-up alarm clock, first ticking and then ringing, to greet his listeners each morning.

The album was reissued on CD in West Germany by EmArcy Records (Catalog #824 867–2) and Marketed by Phonogram.

(CD itself says "Made in W. Germany by Polygram") All music composed by Sammy Nestico.
