Title: Stan Getz: Live
Product review: My favorite sax player is Stan Getz. While I enjoy so much of his work, I especially like his live performances and My Old Flame [comprised of two live sides: The Dolphin and Spring Is Here] is no exception. My preference between these two sides is Spring Is Here. The version of "How About You", which begins the CD and is my favorite selection in the entire package, is terrific. Lou Levy's work on piano is wonderful. Sweet Lorraine, Old Devil Moon and I'm Old Fashioned all demonstrate the cohesiveness of Getz, Levy, bassist Monte Budwig and drummer Victor Lewis as a quartet."The Dolphin" disc is more subdued than the "Spring" side of this release with more ballads and fewer up-tempo pieces, but has some noteworthy cuts. Clifford Brown's timeless "Joy Spring" is given superb treatment as is "My Old Flame". If you're a fan of Stan Getz, but don't yet have this two CD set, I recommend adding it to your collection. It's yet another top flight live performance by Getz and some his pals.
