I first bought this album over 40 years ago! I would thoroughly recommend it for lovers of Paul Desmond, particularly Bluesette, Far More Blues & Blue Shadows...

42.Jazz Samba: Remastered by: Stan Getz May 25, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.49
Jazz Samba is the first, but now possibly least famous, of the works by the famous samba populist and saxophonist, Stan Getz. Here he collaborates with the guitarist Charlie Byrd to produce, in my opinion, his finest Samba album. Unlike the later Getz/Gilberto, Getz/Byrd has no vocal content and relies on swinging samba melodies and dexterous interplay between these masters of jazz sax and guitar. In tempo, it ranges from the boisterous E Luxo So, through the never-bettered Desafinado to the melancholic and beautiful Samba Triste. Getz's samba does not engage the listener like other jazz forms. Its Brazilian rhythms fade naturally into the background, making it ideal for sophisticated party music. Given the right conditions ... Read More:

Let me get this straight, in this time when we are suffocating under an avalanche of tedious, manufactured, throwaway pop music,this sublime, beautiful record has been languishing in a vault since 1989! Genius is such an overused adjective these days but it is entirely fitting in this case. At the time it was recorded Getz was very ill but he roused himself and played as well as he had done at his peak. Buy it.

This album is a must in any real music lover collection the emotion it reveals is one of the most sensitive I've ever heard I even think that it's as cool as miles and coltrane kind of blue

47.Jazz Samba Encore! by: Stan Getz Luiz Bonfa May 10, 1993

This CD should be referenced onto a sister recording by Stan Getz: Jazz Samba (the original work). Basically, this recording is more of the same - but better in my opinion. There is still the excellent rich Sax work of Getz and the great Guitar work of Bonfa. Also included this time are some equally impressive Latin American vocals on some tracks. Note that the vocalist is probably not Astrid Gilberto. I liked this CD for the warmth of the bass and the utter smoothness of the Sax. The guitar work is good too. The vocal tracks make a change from the totally instrumental Jazz Samba recording, breaking up the recording. On a technical note there is minimal production content( as recorded circa 1963)- which means ... Read More:

I have listened to quite a few quality Jazz albums of late (including Art Blakey, Cannonball Adderley, Charlie Parker, etc.) but this one really is a masterpiece! The cover includes an interview with G.T. Simon, Jazz Commentator of the NY Herald Tribune at the time, and gives great insight into the special nature of that night. "Then suddenly it happened - right after the start of the third number. Don't ask why. Probably nobody can explain it. But it happened all right, and what had begun as quite a good Brubeck concert burst abruptly into a truly great one." The entire story is well worth the read. The musicians are not merely playing, they are preaching, and convincing, and so full of life and energy! It is almost impossible to interrupt a piece to go and do ... Read More:

49.Meets the Rhythm Section by: Art Pepper February 18, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.99 You Save: £2.00 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
This was the first Art Pepper record I ever bought, and to my ears it remains the best. Whether the legend surrounding the circumstances in which this recording was made is completely true I dont know, but if Art was in poor shape, and the session was not well prepared, there is no evidence here to suggest that there was anything amiss. Art Pepper was not my favourite alto player but this record helped in no small way by the Miles Davis rhythm section demands to be in the very top rank of jazz recordings
