STEAMING ALONG,
By Philip Kringas "philip" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steamer (Audio CD)
On this highly enjoyable record, wonderful music is played by Stan Getz and who in turn is very capably supported by the rhythm section of Lou Levy (piano), Leroy Vinnegar (bass) and the late great Stan Levey on drums. The inter action between this quartet is very sensitive as the respect for each other is clearly demonstrated through out this date.
The pace of this record is mostly foot tapping stuff as the majority of numbers are up tempo. Stan's saxophone really steams along on these numbers with an exquisite tone. Getz always possessed a unique tone that was instantly identifiable as his. No wonder he was referred to as "The Sound". A special mention must be made for "You're Blase", the only real ballad on the record. I repeat what is stated in the linear notes that "new depths of lyricism can be heard on this beautiful track. There's a wonderful yearning quality in Getz's playing". Another bonus is the recording quality which is first class.

Stanley the Steamer swings through,
By
This review is from: Steamer (Audio CD)
Verve has pulled another gem from the vaults!Stan Getz was given the name "Stanley the Steamer" by Oscar Peterson because his music "cooked" or "steamed". Mostly upbeat swing tempos, this cd is a lot like "West Coast Jazz". Good, solid performance, Stan and the guys stretch out a bit longer these more complex arrangements than he usually recorded during this period. Happy and upbeat, warm and sunny. Not many ballads. 20-bit remastering sounds accurate to the original disc.

This Steamer smells of success,
By S. Reever (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steamer (Audio CD)
This 'Steamer' smells like roses! The musical layers pile on slowly. It keeps coming back to 'How about you'. As the mood builds, you can feel the internal pressure build until the final explosion.This reminds me a little of 'Turtle Head' in 'Sticking Out'. It's theme is a series of runs up and down the emotional gamut. You can't go wrong with this one! It's a heap of fun. Nothing corny here!
