Stan Getz Quartets album for sale Product Description

Stan Getz Quartets album for sale by Stan Getz / Stan Quartet Getz was released Oct 16, 2012 on the Universal label. Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Stan Getz Quartets CD music After gaining initial fame with Woody Herman's band, Stan Getz went solo in the late '40s, hitting his zenith during the bossa nova craze of the early '60s.

Although the sound is not crystal clear (this is, after all, the early days of the LP), Quartets is still a very enjoyable set. Those new to his work, though, might want to start in with later, better-sounding releases on Verve, like Stan Getz Plays or Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio. ...See Full Description
