Getz and Oscar - fabulous! (2008-03-06)

It's hard to think of anyone who has a tone quite like Stan Getz: breathy yet rich, cool yet passionate, he was unique. Famous for his wonderful bossa nova recordings, he also made some great music with other jazz masters. This album with the Oscar Peterson Trio is particularly fine. Getz's warm, lyrical tone caresses a collection of great tunes with admirable collaboration from one of the finest trios of all time. The lack of a drummer allows an intimate, relaxed feeling to the proceedings, and the results are seriously enjoyable. Highlights include a swinging "Pennies From Heaven" and beautiful ballad work on "Detour Ahead" and "I'm Glad There Is You". All Getz fans and jazz lovers should investigate this CD without delay.

An absolute joy (2006-10-12)

Stan Getz in person was quite unpleasant apparently. Quite in contrast to his wonderful Tenor Sax playing. Here he supported by the Oscar Peterson Trio in a session recorded in October 1957.The most noticeable thing about this session is that there is no drummer, although sometimes you'd swear there was as it swings hard! The trio is Ray Brown - Bass, Herb Ellis - Guitar, and Oscar Peterson - Piano. The first track "I want to be happy" absolutely motors along with Getz playing a typically lyrical inventive solo followed by a blistering reply from Peterson. The other oddity is the last track "Blues for herky", a straight blues started by Peterson with a downhome Jimmy Yancy boogie-woogie left-hand. A boogie-woogie feel is maintained throughout the whole track and finishes the album off perfectly leaving you wanting more.If the rest of the album isn't quite as interesting as those two tracks theres plenty of other classy tracks that you may well prefer. Well worth getting.
