Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring live recordings captured at the Storyville club in Boston, 'Split Kick' showcases the tenor saxophonist at the height of his lyrical, cool jazz powers. Supported by a stellar rhythm section featuring Horace Silver and Roy Haynes, Stan Getz delivers incredibly fluid, melodic improvisations. The album brilliantly encapsulates the relaxed yet driving aesthetic of the mid-century East Coast jazz scene.
