3.0 out of 5 stars
your "one-stop" CD for very early Stan Getz,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cool Bebop 1945-49 (Audio CD)
Stan Getz started playing sax professionally, leaving high school to join Jack Teagarden's band, at 16. In fact, New York truant officers where chasing him around until Teagarden became his guardian to keep them both out of legal trouble! (None of those songs here, I guess he didn't solo). He then played with Benny Goodman and Woody Herman.Stan went from big bands to soloing with his own combos at an age when most kids were going to high school and college! Getz very early playing is spread out through four or five other CD's (Woody Herman "Keeper of the Flame", "Brothers" etc). If you want the best of the lot this is the greatest hit's from Stan at age eighteen to twentytwo from 1945-49. The outstanding cut is Getz solo on "Early Autumn" with Woody Herman's Second Herd, the song that catapulted Getz to public attention at a still very young age. The rest is mostly energetic bebop,or Cool. The recording quality is probably as good as can be expected for the period, runs the gamet from murky and muddy to OK. Mono. Three stars for performance, 2 for sound quality.
