Three weeks after completing his meeting with Luiz Bonfa and only two days after the epochal Getz/Gilberto sessions, Stan Getz was back in the studio recording more bossa nova. Producer Creed Taylor was obviously striking while the iron was hot, getting in as many Brazilian sessions as he could, yet the quality of the music-making remained consistently marvelous. Continuing his practice of running through one star guitarist after another, this time Getz has Laurindo Almeida as the designated rhythm man, featured composer, and solo foil. The rhythm section is an authentically swinging mixture of American sidemen (including Steve Kuhn on piano and George Duvivier on bass) and Brazilian percussionists. Almeida didn’t like to improvise, so his solos stay close to the tunes, inflected with a perfectly matched feeling for the groove along with classical poise. Jobim’s “Outra Vez” is a particularly lovely example of Getz’s freedom and effortless lyricism contrasted against Almeida’s anchored embroidering. Sessions like these might have been seen as cashing in on the boom at the time, yet in the long view, one should be thankful that these musicians were recording so much cherishable material.
WARNING TO FELLOW-AUDIOPHILES: This CD, unusually for Verve, has been mastered very bright and compressed. It is unlistenable to me, but less fussy listeners may enjoy it.

Like me for example.. :)
Thank you very much for sharing a great Stan Getz!
Best regards to you;
more important for me always.. And as I'm a Stan Getz lover, it's something like; because we can't take Stan Getz from where
he sleeps and request him to play something more :D ; your share that I didn't have it yet, is as valuable as a treasure..
Thanks again.. Also I notified your previous Stan Getz post just a minute ago, I'll download it tomorrow also..
Regards;
Now I notified that opening track "Minina Moca" was a performance that I've been looking for from Getz for a long time..
I've found it before in the Verve Jazz Masters Series - Stan Getz, but unfortunatelly it was in mp3 form; and I've deleted
all my mp3 archive sometime before, deciding to make all my archive in lossless.
"Minina Moca", is a very tasty song for me, its -exactly fondling my spirit- chord progression, is very very similar to one of my all-time favorites song; Recado Bossa Nova (which a performance with an extra-ordinaryly well-feeled improvising from Hank Mobley, can be found from sir janwal, in his Hank Mobley-Dippin' post); and of course in Minina Moca, melody section is excellent, and Stan Getz is excellent there also..
Shortly :) , thank you again...
GREAT POST, AN EXCELLENT ALBUM.
Thanks.
Gracias,
