Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Originally released in March 1964, this collaboration between saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist João Gilberto came at seemingly the end of the bossa nova craze Getz himself had sparked in 1962 with Jazz Samba, his release with American guitarist Charlie Byrd. Jazz Samba remains the only jazz album to reach number one in the pop charts. In fact, the story goes that Getz had to push for the release of Getz/Gilberto since the company did not ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Japanese exclusive remastered reissue of the jazz act's 1957 album, packaged in a limited edition miniature LP sleeve. Verve. 2004. :Stan Getz and Oscar Peterson were both consummate performers, comfortable at any tempo, when they met for this 1957 recording, and they're clearly enjoying one another's skills on ballads and uptempo tunes alike. The group is one of the finest editions of Peterson's trios, with bassist Ray Brown and guitarist Herb Ellis. It's virtually a machine for ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Guitarist Charlie Byrd was invited to travel and play in Brazil during a cultural goodwill tour sponsored by the Kennedy administration in 1961.

Editorial Product Review: :When guitarist Charlie Byrd first introduced bossa nova to Stan Getz in 1962, the saxophonist gave the lilting Brazilian rhythm its perfect American voice. Getz's sinuous lines and piping tenor sax sound merged with the understated samba beat to create an irresistible blend of cool jazz and warm Latin sensibilities. This CD gives us bossa nova's greatest soloist playing the tunes of its greatest composer, culling every song by Antonio Carlos Jobim that Getz recorded for Verve between ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Throughout his career, Stan Getz thrived on the challenges presented by a hot young rhythm section, spinning out long, fleet lines with his airy, gauzelike sound. This session from 1972 is one of his finest efforts. The emphasis is Latin and electric, with Chick Corea on electric piano, Stanley Clarke on electric bass, Airto Moreira on percussion, and the crucial factor, Tony Williams, on drums. Together they generate tremendous rhythmic movement and concentrated musical energy on ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:This album, a series of duets laying the wondrously inquisitive piano of Kenny Barron next to the breathy, half-lit tenor of Stan Getz, was both the last public appearance and the final recording in the life of Getz. Recorded with astonishing clarity live at Copenhagen's Montmartre Café, People Time serves as a passionate coda to the life of this great saxophonist. Many of the tunes seem chosen for their emotional content, as if Getz were aware ...
Intel's Core 2 Duo E6700 offers the best price-to-performance ratio we've seen in a desktop chip. For half the cost of AMD's top-of-the-line chip, you get identical if not superior performance and better power efficiency. AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.
