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 :

VICKY LANE - I Swing For You (1959-2010) Mp3

This RCA Victor LP marked the recording debut of Vicky Lane, a native of Ireland who was also an actress. Although gifted with an attractive voice in the alto range, Lane evidently didn't make much of an impression with record buyers, as this also seems to be the only recording under her name. This doesn't mean this is a bad record; in fact, she shows a lot of promise for a first time recording artist, assisted by Pete Candoli's swinging arrangements and a supporting cast that also includes Jimmy Rowles, Barney Kessel, Alvin Stoller, and Joe Mondragon, along with a host of additional percussionists.
