the latest addition to my growing jazz collection. this one just being a greatest hits, but, i love this guy. his tone is so warm, his note choice is superb, and his playing is just too smooth. so, what else by him is any good? and, what albums can you recommend from the "cool jazz" era for me to try out? assuming that there is jazz fans here. ------------- "...the only excuse for not knowing, is not wanting to know." |

Recommend the 1972 recording Captain Marvel, (issued on Columbia COL468412) with a part Return To Forever line-up acting as sessionists: Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Airto and Tony Williams. Some of Corea compositions included, one which RTF do on Hymn Of The 7th Galaxy - but here the emphasis is on the Latin style Getz (and of course Chick Corea ) is known for.

Try also Wayne Shorter's Adam's Apple, Juju and Night Dreamer.
Very cool stuff.
If you're into spacey jazz-rock too, have a look to Weather Report's Mysterious Traveller ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqf2srRfppHAslEmHBn8QP6d_eoanh0eW" rel="nofollow - My compositions |

My very favourite Getz album is Voyage from 1986 on Blackhawk, a wonderful after-hours type of session with Kenny Barron, Victor Lewis and George Mraz. Unfortunately it appears to be deleted so you may not be able to get it.
Pure Getz, also from his sublime late period in the eighties, would be another great one to pick up.
At the opposite end of his career, there's some marvellous playing from Getz on the 1957 Herb Ellis album Nothing But The Blues, a record I can't recommend highly enough. One of those albums that ought to be a classic but that not many people seem to know.

On the wider subject of 'cool' jazz, the first album you need to have is The Complete Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis. If you want to explore the cooler side of Miles further I'd recommend going on to Round About Midnight and Kind of Blue as two of your next steps. You would also want to investigate the West Coast cool school that Getz emerged from. Here I'd particularly recommend sax man Art Pepper's Intensity and Meets the Rhythm Section and Gerry Mulligan's The Original Quartet with Chet Baker. It should be noted that some of these recordings pre-date stereo, but don't let that put you off, the music comes through just fine.

o i know tons about Miles Davis. Kind of Blue is what got me into jazz in the first place. i have been told to check out weather report more than once, so its pretty much my next stop, as well as a couple of albums mentioned in Masc's last post. ------------- "...the only excuse for not knowing, is not wanting to know." |
