Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
In his time Stan Getz explored just about every manifestation of the Bossa Nova ("'Desafinado' put my kids through college", he said). The secret of his success with the genre was his ability to punch jazz blues solos into the strong melodies. There are many splendid examples of it here, where he works with some of the original artists--Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luiz Bonfa and Astrud Gilberto--as well as with more established American jazz musicians. Despite the gentle beauty of his work, Getz was a hard man who often had Astrud Gilberto in tears when they toured together. You wouldn't know it from the sympathetic way they work together on "It Might As Well Be Spring" (guitarist Kenny Burrell and vibist Gary Burton here). Some of the tracks have Gilberto on her own without Getz and two of these have delicate backing from the full Gil Evans orchestra. There's an oddity in a solo track by Joao Gilberto, but the heavyweight and wailing "Bronx Blues" by Getz and Oscar Peterson counters this effectively. Another non-Latin track is an improvisation on "Thanks For The Memory" from the productive partnership Getz had with guitarist Jimmy Raney. --Steve Voce
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The epitomy of cool Jazz.
This has to be Stan Getz at his best. You would be hard-pressed to hear the Tenor Saxophone play this smoothly and with such effortless feeling anywhere else. I can't think of another Jazz Sax player who could have made this album. It is a classic. The lyrical input from Astrud Gilberto and sensuous arrangements by Joau make this album something special. A must-have for all Jazz sax fans.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Classic stuff, and a good variety
This excellent CD offers a great compilation of classic Getz/Gilberto with other 'jazz samba' work by other artists. None of the tracks disappoints, and everything is as it should be. A good introduction to this genre, underrated for too long in my humble opinion.
