I purchased this from a local record store rather than from Amazon. The liner notes are non-existent, beyond a track and personnel list. This album appears to be a re-issue of some performances on January 23, 1980, at Cannes, France. It looks like this was originally available as "The Stan Getz Tentet", and also appeared on some French RCA recordings. The tracks are: 1. Autumn Leaves - 7'24 2. Billie's Bounce - 11'30 3. Lady Day - 6'00 4. Heart Place - 6'16 5. Kali-Au - 9'00 6. Chappaqua - 9'20 For five of the tracks, personnel were Getz, Andy Leverne [piano], Brian Bromberg [bass], Chuck Loeb [guitar, composer of 4. and 5.], and Victor Jones [drums]. Track 2 personnel were Getz, Joe Farrell, Paul Horn, Mike Garson, Sugar Blue, and Patrick Arturo, and the French announcer mentioned some of their instruments at the beginning of the track. Overall, it's so-so. "Autumn Leaves" is competent straight-ahead jazz. I found the last track, "Chappaqua", to be peaceful and placid. Two tracks, "Heart Place" and "Kali-Au", are more electronic jazz than anything like his early work. There's no bossa nova sound on this CD. Recording quality is acceptable for a live recording. Volume did not seem to be consistent across tracks when I played it, but that was relatively minor. The track display in the Windows Media Player was completely off, and appears to be for another CD entirely. Not the worst album I've ever bought. I'd say it's useful if you are a hard-core Getz fan, as I don't think a couple of the tracks here are available anywhere else. Two and a half stars.
