4 out of 5 stars overlooked classic.......2005-05-31

This album deserves to be better known.

In the early 50's Norm Granz, owner of Verve, tried to get Jazz out of small smokey clubs and into large venues. Hence his "Jazz at the Philharmonic" series, pairing together on stage practically everybody in Jazz and everyone else . Results were generally mediocre, but a lot more people DID hear combo Jazz, which was progress.

In this case, a young Stan the Man, the greatest saxophonist of all time, shared the spotlight with Bob Brookmeyer on valve trumbone. They played together off and on for years, one of the few other performers Stan genuinely respected, instead of treating as background. They play in a similar tone and range. Getz suggested in Downbeat that Brookmeyer be in the Stan Getz band, but Brookmeyer objected and Getz backed off and said this was wishful thinking.

Herein they play complex bebop duet and ballads. Pleasant melded tone, clever without ever being in your face, it's the best of the Norm Granz pairings. Getz's sax and Brookmeyer's valve trombone dance around each other in intricate arabesque arrangements. Most of the rest of Getz other albums are solos with combo accompanyment, or with Chet Baker, when everyone gets a turn, true duets like this were quite unusual for Stan.

Samples don't do justice to the music, selections should have started with the music, not the talk.

Deserves 3-4 stars as a 50's classic of the style.
