| | Stan Getz And The Angels Swing CD Stan Getz Discography of CDs
Part of a Verve reproduction reissue series, the packaging on this CD is merely a shrunken-down LP, with microscopic liner notes that cannot be read without a magnifying glass. They are reproduced in a folded insert but are dated and a bit pointless. The music, featuring tenor saxophonist Stan Getz, is worthwhile and deserves much better than this thoughtless approach. The selections are drawn from five different sessions from the 1953-1955 period, with Getz joined by valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer or trumpeter Tony Fruscella on two songs apiece and by either Lou Levy, Jimmy Rowles, or John Williams on the quartet/quintet numbers. The music is swinging and enjoyable, if not essential. Hopefully, these performances will reappear again in the near future as part of a more logical and tasteful reissue series. ~ Scott Yanow

Nova Driver's long, four-year hiatus between first and second albums was a rather bizarre one. Vocalist/organist Mark Miers effectively quit the group to pursue other interests, presumably found them to be less interesting than expected, and then rejoined in time to complete an album -- 2005's Deeper High -- which, at least sonically speaking, behaves as if he never left in the first place! All good considering the Detroit natives' first outing had set a very good precedent; standing out from a rather stale late-'90s stoner rock revival by brusquely shaking (not stirring) equal doses of classic rock, space rock, and their hometown's vibrant, proto-punk legacy around a shiny (heavy) metallic canister -- then spicing it with just a dash of those dangerously excessive jam tendencies. Here, as then, instantly foot-taping nuggets like "You Want Yours, You Want Mine," (an ideal, slow-building opener); "Roll You" (a brutal aural mugging); the memorable title track (affording plenty of soloing room for guitarist Billy Reedy), and "Turn to Stone" (simply a timeless classic rocker) come souped-up for maximum highway-driving enjoyment. And even though it eases off the gas pedal considerably, the semi-ballad "Dark Aftermath" is unconventional enough to keep the listener interested until the dirty garage-psych charge of "Machine" can restart the engines and lead the way into the downright spectacular "Bury ...
