4.0 out of 5 stars
Earliest Stan Getz compendium, September 26, 2003
A marvelous compendium of very early Stan Getz at his very Coolest, and Beboping-est taken from at least a half dozen other albums.
Titles come from 1945-1950.
Some of this is on the Roost sessions.
There is a sparkling version of "Too Marvellous for Words" with Stan and Al Haig, Stans best pianist after Kenny Barron.
It ends with the swooningly beautiful title track, Stan with Woody Herman and the Four Brothers doing "Early Autumn", the song really started his career and catapulted him to international attention.
A great price, you'd have to spend $70 to find these songs on the original albums.
Recording quality is mediocre and some of the original albums sound better. But at this price...
