Difficult to find - I searched for 3 years to get a copy of this!

The is Stan Getz after his exile to Sweden in the late fifties. If not for his Swedish wife whisking him off to avoid him getting busted for his bad habits, he might have ended up like Art Pepper.

Well recorded.

The backup band is competent but doesn't push him to excel. He stands out in some cuts, in others he plays his "Brothers" type harmonies with local sax players.

balanced with ballads and swing tempo tunes, not much fast bebop. I like "Topsy". Uniformly pleasant and tuneful.

3 to 3 1/2 stars = a tuneful record the quality of the majority of his output if not better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stan Getz at the peak of his powers !, July 2, 2008

This review is from: In Sweden 1958-60 (Audio CD)

This is one of the best records which Stan Getz ever made. Recorded during the years 1958-60 in Stockholm with the major jazz musicians from Sweden. The swedish piano players Jan Johansson and Bengt Hallberg made the arrangements in 8 entire recording sessions. The real star of these marvellous recordings was the late Lars Gullin, who played bariton sax like Gerry Mulligan. Benny Bailey (he is from US) played wonderful trumpet. This 2 cd is really worth to look for. It was recorded in a swedish Dragon label. [...]
