Beverly Getz Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Another favorite Stan Getz album of mine is "The Peacocks", from the late 1970s, with Jimmy Rowles on piano. This album contains some very beautiful, lyrical Getz soloing. I like the vocals on the album! Forgot about The Peacocks as well. Jimmy's vocals are WONDERFUL! Plus, with Buster Williams and Elvin Jones... can't go wrong... in my book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverly Getz Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Don't know if it's been mentioned on this thread, but a semi-forgotten gem is "The Soft Swing" from 1957, with Mose Allison, Addison Farmer, and Jerry Segal. Some of the most rhythmically relaxed. melodicaljy fluid Getz I've heard. I still have my old LP, but a smallish triangle-shaped chunk fell off a while back, which renders the first half of the first track on each side unplayable. It's been reissued in Japan, but the last time I checked it cost a pretty penny -- maybe $40. May have to spring for it before it's too late. Just checked the Verve site for it. It's listed, but the demo tracks are all Billie Holiday. (I'm not complaining... could have been Mr. G! ) J-U-S-T K-I-D-D-I-N-G! (Don't think he's on Verve!) http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/artist/rele...61&aid=2856 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMP Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) One that I like that doesn't get mentioned much is the album with Bill Evans. The conventional jazz wisdom on this is that the session doesn't jell, and I know there's a story (probably several!) behind it, but I've always enjoyed it. The opener, with its stop-time chorus and strong drumming, is one of Getz's most exciting performances. Edited June 1, 2009 by DMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have the former, live in the mid 70's and it's very good. This one seems to be fairly new and possibly not out on cd before, anyone know anything about it? Here's the blurb from Amazon; Product Description During the first half of 1978, Stan Getz toured Europe with a sextet he co-led with trombonist Bob Brookmeyer. The other band members consisted of Andy Laverne on piano, Mike Richmond on bass, Jeff Brillingen on drums, and Efrain Toro on percussion. Afterwards, Getz would continue playing in Europe with different formations that sometimes featured a similar rhythm section to the one employed with Brookmeyer plus other guest musicians. This show features seven tracks including 'They Can't Take That Away From Me', 'Billie's Bounce' and 'I'll Remember April'. Gambit. 2009.

DMP Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 The second one, on Verve. Much better than its reputation. Getz seemed to thrive with stong drummers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 The Stockholm one. . . well it's worth getting, but the sound is a bit (just a bit disappointing) and there's better Getz playing out there. But. . .I got it, and I'm keeping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I've always liked this one more than the usual from this period: Gerry Teekens got my copy for mucho bucks. Never seen that one in LP form. Must be rare as hen's teeth. Jeez, guys - all you have to do is walk down to the used record store on the other end of your block and lay down a ten spot for a mint copy. At least, that's what I did. I'll admit that I was totally unfamiliar with this album and didn't know what to think when I saw it - there is no personnel listing or recording info on the cover. But I thought I remembered it mentioned here, so I came home and checked before going back to pick it up. It's really nice - recorded in Copenhagen in 1960 with a Danish rhythm section.

BruceH Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 It's probably been mentioned more than once already, but I want to put in a word here for the Stan Getz With Cal Tjader album, on Fantasy. "Ginza Samba" is alone worth the price of admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I have no problem believing it's good, I have a few other live recordings by this particular group and I would love to get this one, the Amazon prices are a bit nuts, I know I'll get it somewhere in the end though.

alocispepraluger102 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) npr did a series of recorded live sets, JAZZ ALIVE, with some great jazz musicians in the early 80s. one of the most memorable was a long duo set, or maybe two, with stan and elvin, which was recorded on the french riviera. (..........if i could just find thosecassette tapes. mosaic could do a fab box set with those few years of jazz alive tapes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ not to be overlooked is the little known mickey one soundtrack, arranged by eddie sauter, which was recorded very shortly after stan's fathers death. mixed in the wondrous kaleidescope of sounds, polka included, are moments of the most eloquent descriptions of despair and desolation that i have ever heard. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited June 30, 2009 by alocispepraluger102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit. 2009. shortly after that stan got a new recording deal with columbia and issued a 2fer recording with laverne and richman called 'another world'. on that recording he did at least one extended number with the echoplex, which i really loved, and which showed a promise of things to come, but they never came. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- not to be forgotten is the 60's string recording (russ garcia) of lovely lovely readings of ballads, 'cool velvet.' it is still a special favorite with me.
