STAN GETZ – 1954 | The Classics Chronological Series – 1435 (2007) FLAC (tracks), lossless

Stan Getz was one of Lester Young's very best students. From Pres he learned the fine arts of inspired improvisation and smooth, intimate tonality. Every chapter in the Classics Stan Getz chronology is guaranteed to please. The eighth installment contains about an hour's worth of excellent jazz that was preserved for posterity by producer Norman Granz. Tracks one through four were recorded in Los Angeles on January 23, 1954, with Getz supported by pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Bob Whitlock, and drummer Max Roach. On November 8, 1954, Granz presented Getz in concert within the Shrine Auditorium at 649 W. Jefferson Boulevard in Los Angeles. Released on a long-playing album entitled Stan Getz at the Shrine, the superb live jazz heard on this disc also featured valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer, who was one of Getz's close collaborators. These recordings, some of them marvelous stretched-out jams lasting more than eight minutes, are still cherished for the profound empathy that existed between the two men. The rhythm section was composed of pianist Johnny Williams, bassist Bill Anthony, and drummer Art Mardigan. The MC was none other than Duke Ellington! arwulf arwulf     Tracklist :

STAN GETZ - At the Shine (1954-2004) Universal Jazz The Best | MONO | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Tenor Stan Getz and valve-trombonist Bob Brookmeyer made a mutually beneficial team. Although they had not played together all that much in 1954 (Brookmeyer had left Getz's band earlier in the year to join the Gerry Mulligan Quartet), the strong musical communication between the two horns during this set is obvious. Eight of the ten selections are from a live concert (with pianist John Williams, bassist Bill Anthony, and drummer Art Mardigan) while the final two numbers (on what was originally a pair of LPs) were cut in the studio the following day with the same personnel except that Frank Isola was on drums. Highlights of this cool-toned bop music (which, in addition to the solos, has many exciting ensembles) include "Lover Man," "Pernod," "Tasty Pudding," and "It Don't Mean a Thi
