Laid back, lyrical and mellow. Three ways to describe this album and Getz’s style. Perfect stuff for a lazy afternoon when you just want to relax a bit. Haven’t got many titles on the Verve label, but I’ve been getting in a couple of more these last few days. Plenty to enjoy on that label for sure, for very reasonable prices.
Stan Getz is a cat I’ve enjoyed for a long time but never really focused on. Thereby I haven’t collected a lot of his stuff, just several EP’s. So this is my first original LP with him. His catalogue is vast, so I will be searching for more of the good stuff. I guess Verve is a good place to look.
The personell on this are Getz on the tenor, Mose Allison on piano, Addison Farmer on double bass and Jerry Segal on drums. Favorite pick of the album has to be the Pres-esque ”To the Ends of the Earth”.
If you enjoy a soft swing from time to time, then this album is one that you should pick up.
