5 out of 5 stars "great for every jazz and vintage Getz fan!".......2001-06-18

Two albums on one CD, Concord makes another wise choice bringing the all-time greatest tenor sax player ever...Stan Getz, featuring the backup of ~ Lou Levy (piano), Monty Budwig (bass) and Victor Lewis (drums). Getz played with almost every swing band in the early '40s...Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton...appearing with Herb Alpert, Chet Baker, Kenny Barron, Count Basie, Tony Bennett, Buddy Bergman, Gary Burton, Roy Eldrige, and Astrud Gilberto and the list goes on.

Let's look at the stand outs ~ "HOW ABOUT YOU", "SPRING IS HERE", "I'M OLD FASHION" and "EASY LIVING"...our favorite saxman shows why his style in this one-of-a-kind performance at San Francisco's Keystone Corner in '81 and '92, is an essential "must have" if you're a Getz fan.

Total Time: Disc One 48:28 on 6 Tracks & Disc Two 52:36 on 7 Tracks ~ Concord Jazz CCD2-4955-2 ~ (2001)

4 out of 5 stars 2 great late Stan Getz CDs for one low price!.......2001-05-04

This is a combination of "Dolphin" and "Spring is Here" previously released. From the earlier part of the last decade of Stan Getz life, these were parts of the same concert. These two CD's were first released separately years apart and now they are together.

With Stan dismal 70's Fusion period, and personal problems behind him, he reinvented himself going back to his roots, he plays Mainstream Jazz here. Gone is "Bossa Nova", gone is "Cool". The beautiful tone of the worlds' greatest saxophonist is there, but he is less aloof, less Cool, he puts more of his emotions behind the music especially the Ballads and the result if quite satisfying. Good backup band plays with and in counterpoint to him, not just wallpaper.

Both CD's are revelations, "Spring is Here" gets a slight nod for song selection. "How about You" is perky, "You're Blase" is dreamy. "Old Devil Moon" swings. "I'm Old fashioned" pensive, but the title track, "Spring is Here" is most moving and melancholy. "Time for Love", "My Old Flame" and the samba "Dolphin" stand out on the other CD.

Excellent Concord recording. Clear, warm and detailed without being overly bright.

4 1/2 to 5 stars for performance and recording. Both parts of this CD is included in my "Stan Getz Best" List! see list
