Getz, Stan
Jazz En Buenos Aires
Stan Getz was really coming back strong at the start of the 80s - and you'll definitely hear that here, in a wonderful unreleased live performance from Bueno Aries! The group's a bit unusual, in that it features the guitar of Chuck Loeb next to piano from Mitch Forman, bass from Todd Coolman, and drums from Mike Hyman - with all sorts of great colors flowing from the guitar, in a way that only seems to illuminate Stan's sound, never overwhelm it - a wonderful balance of mode that makes the album a real standout set! Plus, the choice of material is great too - with some more unfamiliar tunes in the mix, and not the bigger hits or standards that sometimes dominate live performances overseas. Tracks include "Be There Then", "Chappaqua", "Hospitality Creek", "Bittersweet", "Wave", and "Lester Left Town".
