Stan Getz & Cal Tjader - Getz Tjader Sextet [1963] [Remaster 2003] [h33t] [Robbie60] [FLAC] [EAC]

Stan Getz & Cal Tjader Getz/Tjader Sextet Label: Fantasy Released: 1958 Reissued: 1963 Remastered: 2003 Source: Original CD Size Torrent: 241 MB Format: FLAC STAN GETZ WITH CAL TJADER is a classic, not only because it pairs the renowned tenor player (Getz) with the great vibraphonist (Tjader), but because the additional personnel on the session make it something of an all-star date. Drummer Billy Higgins, still some time away from his work on the groundbreaking experiments of Ornette Coleman, appears here on one of his first sessions. Bassist Scott LaFaro, who would achieve fame as a member of Bill Evans's legendary trio, also makes an early appearance. Pianist Vince Guaraldi, a leader and composer in his own right (his "Ginza Samba" is one of the highlights on the set), sits in, as does fleet-fingered guitarist Eddie Duran. The ensemble--which has a lively, robust sound due to the instrumentation--moves effortlessly between highly lyrical ballads and fierce, up-tempo bop. The set includes several Tjader tunes, including the smart and swinging "Crow's Nest" and "Big Bear," while the group's treatment of the standard "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" displays remarkable sensitivity and sweetness. Though Tjader and Getz are naturally in the forefront throughout--they both balance shimmering, cool tones with dazzling dexterity--there is fine soloing from all involved, making this a consistently superb set. Recorded at Circle Record Studios, San Francisco, California on February 8, 1958. Originally released on Fantasy (3266). When Getz became a bossa nova star, this album was reissued in 1963 as Stan Getz With Cal Tjader with a different set of liner notes and remains available on LP and cassette in this form. Personnel Stan Getz (tenor saxophone); Cal Tjader (vibraphone); Vince Guaraldi (piano); Eddie Duran (guitar); Scott LaFaro (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). Track Listing 1. Ginza Samba 2. I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face 3. For All We Know 4. Crow's Nest 5. Liz-Anne 6. Big Bear 7. My Buddy

I was 2 clicks away from uploading the 1990
remaster of this excellent album but it's available here in fine form already. Track #3 wonderfully
lachrymose. Entire LP "a gas" as they used to
say. Good pick, this one
