Album Description Stan Getz is considered one of the greatest tenor saxophone players of all time, known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone. In 1961, Getz returned to the USA and soon became a central figure in the Bossa Nova. In 1962, Getz recorded the hit record 'Jazz Samba', with Charlie Byrd who had just returned from a tour of Brazil. Getz also won a Grammy for Best Jazz Performance in 1963. He then recorded 'The Girl from Ipanema' with Jobim, João Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto and not only did it win him another Grammy, but it also became one of the best known Latin jazz pieces ever recorded. The first half of this album was recorded shortly after Getz?s return to the USA, at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1961, and features Steve Kuhn on piano, Scott LaFaro on bass, and Roy Haynes on drums, while the second half was recorded live in Berlin in 1966, and features Gary Burton on vibraphone, Chuck Israel on bass and Roy Haynes on drums.

CD ReviewsGetz with vibraphone Jazzcat | Genoa, Italy Italy | 07/25/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd from the italian label Get Back is a nice addiction to a complete Stan Getz discography. The cd is not in the jewel box, is packaged in a "paper box". The cover is very well known, I think this album was published in the vynil form in the past, but I'm not sure. It is composed by two concerts. The first is a classic soloist plus piano combo date recorded in USA in 1961, featuring Steve Kuhn (piano), Scott LaFaro (!! bass), Roy Haynes (drums). The second concert (from "Dolphin street" on ...) was recorded in 1966 in Berlin and it is the most interesting among the two sessions presented here. Here you'll find a different combo with Gary Burton on vibraphone, Chuck Israel on bass and still the marvellous Roy Haynes on drums. If you'll like this kind of combo you can find this same line up in another album from Getz, "Nobody else but me" (generally speaking "Nobody" is a better cd than this one, the concert is longer and better recorded ... the repertoire even more interesting, so I highly suggest that record too) which is another concert from this same period released by Verve some years ago. The music is very good as it always happens with Getz of course. He soars and interplays perfectly with the two groups that supported him. Personally I prefer the date with Burton because combos with vibrophone instead of the piano are very rare but the sound they could generate is extremely pleasing to my ear, especially with Getz as the main voice. Infact Getz with his dreamy sound, his lovely romantic lines, his perfect sense of forms in my opinion finds himself in another, "new" ideal setting with the vibrophone. If you consider that this album together with "Nobody else but me" (out of print actually) is the only one where you can find Getz in this kind of situation you should agree that "not buying" could not be an option. The overall recording quality is not absolutly perfect (disappointing in some moments), but we can pass over this thing here, considering the importance, the rarity and the quality of the music.
