Stan Getz – Sweet Rain LP Online

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.
