Experimental Getz

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I guess that everything Getz ever recorded is first class stuff, so it is indeed difficult to rate any of this records with less than five stars. It's a pity that this one is unavailable on CD (I have a French CD release, as well as the original US LP edition) because I find it a must in Getz's discography, precisely because of the title tune "Another World", where we find him experimenting with the electronic delay provided by an Echoplex device. In the liner notes, Stan Getz tells us about how he was amazed with the possibilities opened by that this new electronic world. Unfortunately, no mater how much he enjoyed this experiment, it was the only one of this kind that he ever recorded, as far as I know.

Only this theme would be reason enough to recommend this record, and this is why I find that this recording deserves a special place in Getz's discography.

Besides, all the other tunes are simply Getz at his best. Just another five star Getz record...!"
