Title: should have been better
Product review: Looking at the names in this live quartet recording - Roy Haynes, Steve Swallow and Gary Burton - one would have expected a great Getz recording. It is not. Getz sounds harried and uninspired on most numbers. This impression is partly produced by a very unbalanced recording: Roy Haynes, a regular in Getz' groups since 1961, is surely one of the greatest drummers in jazz history, but not necessarily the best drummer for Getz - is here miked up front in a very annoying and distracting manner.There is much better stuff by Getz to choose from.
