New Stan Getz Quartet – Getz Au Go Go (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded at the peak of the bossa nova craze Stan Getz had helped ignite with *Jazz Samba* and *Getz/Gilberto*, these Cafe Au Go Go dates caught the saxophonist pivoting toward hard bop and post-bop territory, with Astrud Gilberto recast as a jazz vocalist rather than a pop sensation. Gary Burton, just nineteen years old at the time of these sessions, was already signaling the harmonic restlessness that would define his career.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Recorded in 1964 during two concerts at the venerable Greenwich Village venue, Cafe Au Go Go, two months after Astrud Gilberto's "Girl From Ipanema" became a Top 5 pop single. The focus of these sets, however, moved away from the Brazilian flavored fare, bringing Gilberto into the realm of a decidedly more North American style. The band features a young Gary Burton (vibraphone), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Gene Cherico (bass), and Joe Hunt (drums). There are a few personnel substitutions, with Helcio Milito (drums) and Chuck Israels (bass), respectively, filling in. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
