John Tapscott Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) I have the double LP. Just another good set of music, I would say. Brackeen plays elp on some tracks. It's a good night club performance by a very good group. Recording quality is decent, though not excellent, as I recall. Sort of a middling session in Getz' discography. Not a Getz session I listen to that often. The electric piano is a drawback for me. I prefer Kenny Barron (though I do like some Brackeen recordings I own).

Guest akanalog Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 i am a big fan of e-piano. so would i enjoy this set a lot, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Sure. It was very good Getz for its time ( '77, I think). In the recording studio Getz was making some less than totally satisfactory (in my view) LP's for Columbia around that time. So for fans of straight-ahead Getz this was like a breath of fresh air. I just think he made several more memorable recordings later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I really shouldn't have got rid of that Joanne Brackeen trio, Snooze, on Choice. That's quite a good little record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Listened to the vinyl twofer of this not very long ago. It came out as 'Live at the Montmartre' and this was just that. A typical evening with the Stan Getz quartet on a good day. Since one can't have the real experience nowadays, this is probably the next best thing. Not really Getz' best post-60s live date (that might be the London gig with Eddy Louis and René Thomas which was released on Verve as 'Dynasty') but really worth purchasing! The sound is pretty good!

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Sort of a middling session in Getz' discography. Not a Getz session I listen to that often. The electric piano is a drawback for me. I agree.......the only Getz cd to date that I've gone and sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
