for the Verve label. There are two selections apiece from the immaculate 1957 meeting with the Oscar Peterson Trio, the much-undervalued 1963 Reflections that has yet to be reissued on CD and the 1967 album dedicated to the work of Burt Bacharach; the superlative "O Grande Amor" and "Little Girl Blue" are taken, respectively, from Sweet Rain and Nobody But Me--two of Getz's greatest albums for Verve or indeed anyone else. In addition "Body and Soul", "But Beautiful" and "Here's That Rainy Day" are ballad readings as stirring as they are flawless, and for good measure there are three supple and melodious bossa novas. Seasoned Getz enthusiasts may have more than a few of these tracks already, but such is the organic unity of this CD that it can be recommended to them almost as enthusiastically as to the newcomer or those whose collection is unaccountably Getzless. In sum, this is an intelligent, catholic and illuminating compilation that surely deserved a more imaginative, less salacious title. --Richard Palmer

Advantages: A great jazz collection Disadvantages: Stan is the only soloist
...I don't know if this album received that much attention when it came out but I've been listening to it lately a lot. I'm a saxophone player, and Getz is not even usually one of my favorites. I always thought his sound was too lightweight or something. The only albums I liked were the early Bossa Nova ones, but not any more. He plays so soulfully on this album, it's like he's literally crying, wailing, and his sound is so beautiful and big and perfect intonation--all the more amazing since he had terminal cancer at the time of the recording. You would never know it. This is a very arranged album with lots of horns and synthesized instruments and percussion and lots of different styles and grooves, but don't let that discourage you because it's very intimate and Stan is the only soloist, blowing all the way through. Occasionally...

Advantages: Near perfect saxophony. Disadvantages: Too smooth.
...The Very Best of StanGetz. Sax Moods.
The cost of this double CD varies, I actually got mine from a boot sale for £3, it can be bought on Amazon for less than a fiver.
StanGetz, to me, on tenor sax is like Kenny G is to soprano, Mr smooth. There is no doubt that this has been both his accolade and his downfall.
Traditional jazz fans may well find him too smooth, yet his pedigree and grounding was in some of the more bebop style bands. His 'tone' when playing has been called 'the sound' as it is pretty near perfect, now personally I like something a little more 'off' perfect.
This double CD is broadly (though not completely) split into two genres. The first CD is more traditional jazz tunes and ballads whilst the 2nd CD is dominated by Latin, Bossa Nova type tunes, not my favourite genre (CD 2).
The thing I do like about...
