Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0042282782625 Format: Extra tracks, Original recording remastered Label: Polygram Records Manufacturer: Polygram Records MPN: 827826 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Polygram Records Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Polygram Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Stan Getz and Oscar Peterson were both consummate performers, comfortable at any tempo, when they met for this 1957 recording, and they're clearly enjoying one another's skills on ballads and uptempo tunes alike. The group is one of the finest editions of Peterson's trios, with bassist Ray Brown and guitarist Herb Ellis. It's virtually a machine for quiet swing, and the absence of a drummer lets Getz's silky sound come to the fore with all its details intact. For all his fame as a virtuosic pianist, Peterson is an underrated accompanist. He complements a soloist with deft fills and unobtrusive propulsion, and the backgrounds he supplies here are as subtle as his solos are extroverted. The program is a good mix of standards and Getz originals, including the joyous "Tour's End," while the extended ballad medley could define jazz lyricism. There's also a brief but infectious version of Ellis's "Detour Ahead," the guitarist's early and highly successful foray into songwriting. --Stuart Broomer Album Description: Japanese exclusive remastered reissue of the jazz act's 1957 album, packaged in a limited edition miniature LP sleeve.

 Rating: - Rememberence of Swing PastNow that the men who collaborated in this session 50 years ago have passed away, this disk provides memories of jazz artists who will never be heard from any other way. Their unique style ic as classic as classical music. Rating: - lively, melodic, and interestingThis album takes two amazing musicians and brings them together for incredibleness. If you don't have it and you like jazz, get it. Rating: - top tenThis recording is in my top ten jazz recording list. This should be in every jazz fans collection. When the terms swing, groove, or playing in the pocket are thrown around, this recording should be on of the first to come to mind. Getz and Peterson are in total communication. Their phrasing and ideas are in total aggrement and their lines are fluid and creative. The technique is amazing but never unmusical. There is an obvious Lester Young influence coming through Getz, but one never feels that it's ... Read More Rating: - An absolute joyStan 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 ... Read More Rating: - Great - The Best of the BestThere are so many superlatives about this album. The first thing one new to the Peterson trio may notice is the lack of drums. And yet, the trio swings so hard that it's very easy to forget. Getz's soft, gentle tone on sax makes a stark but highly effective foil to Peterson's high-energy keyboard acrobatics and staggering virtuosity. The bass and guitar hold everything together transparently, working together in perfect syncronization during the solos, to keep the energy at a proper pitch at all times, ... Read More |
