Description:
Complete 1946-50 Quartet Sessions by Stan Getz, released 5 July 2019.
This version of Complete 1946-50 Quartet Sessions comes as a 1xCD. - .. QUARTET SESSIONS
"Complete 1946-50 Quartet Sessions" on CD brings together Stan Getz's formative small-group recordings from the pivotal post-war years, documenting his evolution from promising young tenor saxophonist to one of the defining voices of cool and modern jazz. Across these quartet sessions, Getz's unmistakably light, airy tone and lyrical phrasing are presented in intimate settings that give him ample space to explore melody, rhythm and nuance. The collection captures him moving from swing-era influences toward a more modern, harmonically sophisticated language, yet always with a strong melodic core. Carefully remastered from historical sources, this edition is aimed at collectors, jazz historians and new listeners alike who wish to understand how Getz's sound and ideas crystallised in the late 1940s. The booklet (where included) typically offers session information and historical context, helping to place these recordings in the broader timeline of jazz's transition from big bands to small-group modernism.
Stan Getz (1927-1991) is regarded as one of the most influential tenor saxophonists in jazz, celebrated for his warm, singing tone and his ability to combine melodic elegance with rhythmic ease. He first came to wider attention in the late 1940s as part of the so-called "Four Brothers" saxophone section and quickly became a leading figure of the emerging cool-jazz movement. In the 1950s and 1960s he achieved major international success, particularly through his work with bossa nova, which brought jazz to a broad new audience and earned him multiple awards and chart-topping releases. The early quartet sides assembled here show the roots of that later success, revealing a young artist already distinguished by poise, sensitivity and a remarkable sense of line.
