Description
A LONG UNAVAILABLE 1960 PERFORMANCE RECORDED IN STUDIO CONDITIONS IN WARSAW, + 5 BONUS TRACKS
In his 1960 visit to Poland, Stan Getz didn't bring his own group, choosing instead to perform with local musicians. The trio of pianist Andrzej Trzaskowski accompanied him at the Jazz Jamboree. Trzaskowski declared then: 'Getz has a quality that characterizes all great musical virtuosi: an absolute control of the instrument. His saxophone offers no resistance, perfectly surrendering to invention. Each, even the smallest note jumps out of his horn completely finished, polished, caressed and colored.' The recordings contained on this CD were made during that tour, which took
place just a couple of years before Getz participated in the first series of Bossa Nova recordings that would earn him great acclaim. Besides playing concerts, Getz was taken to the concert hall of the Polish National Philharmonic in Warsaw, where the five selections issued here were taped in studio conditions, without an audience. Therefore, no applause is heard and the sound of every instrument is clear and well recorded. Only the five tunes issued here were recorded on that occasion, and no tracks were recorded during the rest of Getz' stay in Poland.
