Summary: BRILLIANT COLLABORATION
Comment: WONDERFUL 1957 RECORDING WITH OSCAR PETERSON, STAN GETZ, RAY BROWN AND HERB ELLIS. MELLOW JAZZ AT ITS' ULTIMATE PEAK. GETZ' LIGHT AND BREEZY STYLE OF PLAYING COMPLEMENTS OSCAR'S ACCOMPANIMENT SUPERLATIVELY. SOME OF THE BEST RECORDED WORKS BY EITHER OF THESE GREAT MUSICIANS (AND THAT'S SAYING A LOT).

Summary: Rememberence of Swing Past
Comment: Now that the men who collaborated in this session 50 years ago have passed away, this disk provides memories of jazz artists who will never be heard from any other way. Their unique style ic as classic as classical music.
Customer Rating:
Summary: lively, melodic, and interesting
Comment: This album takes two amazing musicians and brings them together for incredibleness. If you don't have it and you like jazz, get it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: top ten
Comment: This recording is in my top ten jazz recording list. This should be in every jazz fans collection. When the terms swing, groove, or playing in the pocket are thrown around, this recording should be on of the first to come to mind. Getz and Peterson are in total communication. Their phrasing and ideas are in total aggrement and their lines are fluid and creative. The technique is amazing but never unmusical. There is an obvious Lester Young influence coming through Getz, but one never feels that it's a rip-off like so many players are guilty of. This album is also just a hell of a lot of fun to listen to. Get it!!

Summary: An absolute joy
Comment: Stan Getz in person was quite unpleasant apparently. Quite in contrast to his wonderful Tenor Sax playing. Here he supported by the Oscar Peterson Trio in a session recorded in October 1957.
The most noticeable thing about this session is that there is no drummer, although sometimes you'd swear there was as it swings hard! The trio is Ray Brown - Bass, Herb Ellis - Guitar, and Oscar Peterson - Piano. The first track "I want to be happy" absolutely motors along with Getz playing a typically lyrical inventive solo followed by a blistering reply from Peterson.
The other oddity is the last track "Blues for herky", a straight blues started by Peterson with a downhome Jimmy Yancy boogie-woogie left-hand. A boogie-woogie feel is maintained throughout the whole track and finishes the album off perfectly leaving you wanting more.
If the rest of the album isn't quite as interesting as those two tracks theres plenty of other classy tracks that you may well prefer. Well worth getting.
