Remarkable Jazz Group

"Sure, it's only 43 minutes long, but what a CD. Getz and Tjader had long tried to work together and when they finally did record, their styles melded perfectly. Eddie Duran is a wonder on guitar. Scott LaFaro, who would later play bass for Bill Evans' most formiable line up, and whose life was tragically cut short, shows that even early in his career, he could hold his own with anyone. Great music and an important piece to each of these artist's careers."

Not merely latin

"This extremely pleasant and ellegant album uses latin rhythms, as one would expect, but it is a genuine jazz record, with some nice take on the gentle standards that Getz played so soulfully and cleverly,

with Tjader's swinging unit providing the added value of feelgood, bouncy rhythmical spice.



I like jazz. I like Stan Getz. I like this album."
