This is a wonderful album. The tunes and the performances are tremendous. I don't know who the keyboard player is but if you enjoy piano, that in itself is worth the album. The band is so tight and smooth; excellent recording. Highly recommended. April 17, 2006

rating: 4 QuoteStan Getz lyric comebackQuote
Stan Getz was 60, sick and considered washed up by many in jazz after a decade or so of trying to follow the latest trends like fusion.

But he was off the drugs and alchohol. He went back to doing what he did best, beatiful lyric saxophone, 3d blue velvet fog sculpted notes on jazz standards. (No bossa nova). Ballads and bebop. The result is one of the greatest comeback albums of all time, rival's Bob Dylan's latest.

There is no attempt to be "cool". He is more expressive and emotional (happy, sad) than his early work, without ever sounding angry or cynical.

Excellent back up band. Excellent recording.

2005 update - of all the Getz albums I have, and I have a lot, this is the one I listen to most. More than Getz/Gilberto, more than Bossa & Ballads, more than Jazz Samba, etc. The music just pours from his soul as if the sax were connected to his heart. All are masterpieces but "Blood Count" "Stella By Starlight", "I thought about you" and "I Can't get Started" sparkle with a real magic.

Highest recommendation July 29, 1998
