Tune up (Stan Getz/ Albert Dailey) (LP 960 - 962)

Stan Getz & Bill Evans  Stan Getz & Bill Evans (CD, Verve Records, 1973) ****  

Stan Getz & Albert Dailey  Poetry (CD, Blue Note Records, 1984) *** 

Stan Getz  Heart Place (a.k.a. The Sound Of Jazz Volume 11) (CD, Memo Music, 1988) ***   

Genre: Jazz 

Places I remember: The two collaborations - Kings Recording (Abu Dhabi); Heart Place - The Warehouse

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: My Heart Stood Still (Getz & Evans)

Gear costume: Funkallero (Getz & Evans); Autumn Leaves (Heart Place)

Active compensatory factors: I really like the Getz and Evans collaboration. It comes with the brilliant Elvin Jones on drums and Ron Carter or Richard Davis on bass. What a line-up!

There's something magic about a quartet anyway but when the musicians are titans it makes for something extra special.

Poetry is just tenor sax and piano and it has taken me a lot of listens to open up to it. It was recorded in 1983 and finds Getz and Dailey reaching for different types of sounds from their instruments. It's going to take a few more listens I think.

Heart Place is an inconsistent set with the eleven minutes Billie's Bounce being the most challenging to listen to. Autumn leaves though highlights the Getz brilliance well.

Where do they all belong? That's it for Stan Getz. next up in the jazz CD section is The Frank Gibson Quartet.
