This is one of those consented recordings that you must have in a secure place, always available for any special occasion. Apart of its undeniable musical virtues, you will hear to Stan in one of his most reminded recitals. Sentiment, expressiveness and poetic ardor blunt in this golden album.



Do not miss because of its legendary significance; it's part of the story of the last giants of the sax.

Should have been better

"Looking at the names in this live quartet recording - Roy Haynes, Steve Swallow and Gary Burton - one would have expected a great Getz recording. It is not. Getz sounds harried and uninspired on most numbers. This impression is partly produced by a very unbalanced recording: Roy Haynes, a regular in Getz' groups since 1961, is surely one of the greatest drummers in jazz history, but not necessarily the best drummer for Getz - is here miked up front in a very annoying and distracting manner.

There is much better stuff by Getz to choose from.
