Billy Highstreet Samba

Reader Reviews
This album was dedicated to Getz's personel manager, a fine fellow I'm sure-named Billy Highstreet. Sounds like an American Indian name! It was 1980 and soon Steve Getz, Stan's son became personel manager and remains even today as a guardian of Stan's venerable body of work. As even a Jazz Superstar like Getz was, artists must be exposed to the currents of newer trends. So, using a very talented pianist and a guitarist-Chuck Loeb, Getz plays his own vision of the "fusion" style so present in the early 80's. And he performs this music beautifully and with ease and of course more "prettiness" than most anyone else could. He even includes a lovely ballad-Body and Soul, and plays some soprano sax! A great artist like Getz could never lose his sweet "sound" no matter how times changed, we should be thrilled that we still can enjoy his work. If you are a fan, and you appreciate the first class treatment Verve always gives art you will be happy to own this recording.
