Reader Reviews
Stan Getz was the greatest tenor sax player who ever lived. Great, not for writing a lot of new tunes, but great for his unfailing ability of create beauty every time he played. Great for the exquisite beauty of his tone. If the first note doesn't sound good, it doesn't matter how many notes someone plays afterwards. Or how original they are. Certain other Cool artists, his peers, produced wonderful lyrical music for a time, early, and then stopped, to make music more original but much less lyrical! Stan, perhaps more than any other artist, or Verve and the companies who hold rights to his music, could put out dozens of these best of romantic albums, because Stan always focuses on lyrical romantic perfomances with glorious tone. Tons of stuff, still on the shelves! He was great, as he grew older, for his increasing ability to be less aloof and put more of his emotions behind his music. I personally prefer these songs in the context of their original albums, but there are many people out there who haven't heard them, and may not any other way. If this adds beauty and love to their lives, if this points the way to Stan's other great music, it will have served it's purpose. We need positive vibes! Three of the songs here "Reflections" and "When the Sun Comes Out" are great ballads, but rather obsure and difficult to find on original CDs. "Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams" features Abby Lincoln's rather annoying nasal voice, that could have been left out! Listen with someone special. (More) Nesting Music. The technical quality of these recordings varies with their age, Stan Getz career spanned more than 40 years, (herein about 15 of those 40 years ) but it sounds as good it could, considering.
