Stan Getz / The Oscar Peterson Trio – Stan Getz And The Oscar Peterson Trio (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Norman Granz had a gift for putting the right musicians in the same room, and this 1957 Hollywood session is a prime example. Getz, whose cool tone could sometimes be mistaken for restraint, rises to meet Peterson's relentless swing, and the result is a saxophonist playing with a directness and authority that casual fans of his bossa nova work might not expect.
Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio, released in 1958 on Verve Records, documents a rare meeting between two contrasting but complementary jazz greats: the cool-toned tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and the hard-driving Oscar Peterson Trio. Produced by Norman Granz and recorded in Hollywood in October 1957, the session finds Getz joining a veteran rhythm section already regarded as one of the most cohesive in jazz: Peterson on piano, Herb Ellis on guitar, and Ray Brown on bass. While Getz was often heard in more subdued or orchestrated contexts during this period, this session highlights his command of bebop language and small-group swing. Peterson's trio, known for it's drive and responsiveness, adapts fluidly to Getz's tone and phrasing, yielding a session marked by relaxed interplay, rhythmic clarity, and understated virtuosity. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
