Stan Getz Plays

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing the remarkably airy, vibrato-less tone that defined his early career, the tenor saxophonist leads a highly refined, perfectly understated quartet session. The incredibly fluid, relaxed improvisations prioritize sophisticated melodic construction over aggressive rhythmic drive, beautifully exemplifying the relaxed elegance of the West Coast aesthetic. It is a highly accessible, flawlessly executed demonstration of his unparalleled lyrical mastery.
