Product Information

These previously unreleased 1961 live performances from Birdland, show Getz bringing his tenor saxophone mastery to new heights in a truly stunning comeback. It wasn't only music lovers who crowded Stan Getz' club performances in New York when he returned to the US in January 1961 after more than two years away in Europe. The young tenor, who had long since extended the already legendary and unorthodox Lester Young line into something of his own, represented an approach that contrasted with the revolutionary turmoil in the jazz of the time. And it was against that background that these unreleased performances were recorded and broadcast live at Birdland during Getz' quartet engagement in the fall of that year with Steve Kuhn, Jimmy Garrison and Roy Haynes. It was a quality group and, with Getz then at a sublime peak of emotional and intellectual balance allied to unfailingly melodic inventiveness, the quartet explored a stimulating program of jazz standards and ballads with a gripping blend of strength, delicacy and subtly nuanced dynamics.
