Stan Getz – Sweet Rain (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded just as Chick Corea was emerging as one of the most vital voices in jazz piano, Sweet Rain caught something rare: a master saxophonist in genuine dialogue with a rhythm section still hungry to prove itself. Getz's tone here carries that particular authority that only comes from decades of hard-won craft, warm and searching in equal measure, and the interplay with Corea rewards repeat listening the way the best live sets do.
Limited vinyl LP pressing. Stan Getz's incomparable career includes such landmarks as the bossa nova blockbuster Getz/Gilberto, and stellar collaborations with Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Byrd, and Lionel Hampton. The saxophonist's superlative 1967 quartet recording Sweet Rain can be overlooked but Getz afficionados recognize it's quality. Standing in the shadow of the unprecedented mainstream success of Getz's bossa period that came before, the Creed Taylor produced Sweet Rain is as perfect a straight-ahead date as the leader ever made, with a remarkable young band including pianist Chick Corea, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Grady Tate providing crackling energy that clearly inspired Getz to new heights of expression, writes sfjazz.
