One of the all-time great tenor saxophonists, Stan Getz was known as "The Sound" because he had one of the most beautiful tones ever heard. Getz, whose main early influence was Lester Young, grew to be a major influence himself and to his credit he never stopped evolving.

The Stan Getz Quartet - Pure Getz (1982) Remastered 2003 [SACD rip via Playstation 3]

The Stan Getz Quartet - Pure Getz (1982) Remastered 2003 [SACD rip via Playstation 3]
Sony PS3 SACD to *ISO | FLAC 24/88.2 Stereo | Scans | FileSonic/FileServe
Genre ~ Post-Bop, Soul Jazz, Saxophone Jazz | Label ~ Concord Jazz Records


Stan Getz's 1982 band featured the harmonically advanced pianist Jim McNeely, bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Victor Lewis; Billy Hart fills in for Lewis on three numbers. This date sticks (with one exception) to high-quality jazz standards, some of which ("Sippin at Bell's") are not performed all that often. Getz is particularly swinging on "Tempus Fugit" and quite lyrical on Billy Strayhorn's "Blood Count." ~ AllMusic


Tracklist

1. On The Up And Up 8:10
- Jim McNeely
2. Blood Count 3:34
- Billy Strayhorn
3. Very Early 7:05
- Bill Evans
4. Sipping At Bell's 5:02
- Miles Davis
5. I Wish I Knew 7:52
- Harry Warren / Mack Gordon
6. Come Rain Or Come Shine 8:07
- Harold Arlen / Johnny Mercer
7. Tempus Fugit 7:17
- Bud Powell

The Artistry Of Stan Getz - The Best Of The Verve Years, Vol.1 1952-1967 (1991)

The Artistry Of Stan Getz - The Best Of The Verve Years, Vol.1 1952-1967 (1991)
EAC rip | APE + CUE + LOG | Full Scans | FileSonic/FileServe
Genre ~ Cool, Post-Bop, West Coast Jazz | Label ~ Verve Music Group


This two-CD sampler is most highly recommended for listeners not familiar with Stan Getz's recordings of the 1950s and '60s. Starting with a version of "Stella by Starlight" that co-stars guitarist Jimmy Raney, this set matches Getz's cool tenor with such artists as trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Conte Candoli, trombonist J.J. Johnson, baritonist Gerry Mulligan, pianists Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans and Chick Corea, valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer and vibraphonist Gary Burton. Also included are his two main bossa nova hits "Desafinado" and "The Girl from Ipanema" along with a couple of tracks from Getz's highly-rated Focus album. It's a fine overview of the great tenor's middle years. ~ AllMusic
