The Best Late '60s Getz Album
J. Rich | 12/14/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

""Sweet Rain" is Getz's best release from the late 60s. Everything about this album is just amazing. Getz is joined by Chick Corea on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Grady Tate on drums. I'm not a big fan of Chick Corea, but will admit his playing here is some of the best I've heard from him. Ron Carter and Grady Tate need no introduction both are accomplished jazz musicians. Getz sounds beauiful as always. I highly recommend "Sweet Rain.""
Gorgeous Getz

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Why Chic Corea's composition "Litha" is not a jazz standard is beyond me. Perhaps it would be hard to top the version laid down here. This is a classic recording of a timeless quartet. In 1967, Getz returned to the straight-ahead world with one of his all time best efforts on record. The short samples given here do not give it justice.



The album moves flawlessly from beginning to end. Perfectly paced with nice time changes within the tunes themselves. A young acoustic Chic Corea before he plugged in is a joy. Would Richard Davis and Roy Haynes been a better fit for this group? The thought has popped in my head through the years, but Ron and Grady do very nicely. It is the rhythm section that give the recording it's unique airy sound.



But Getz is the star here and he shines brightly, and remains my all time tenorman.
