Title: Cheesy orchestral disco-jazz, with some unexpected greatness
Review: What is going on in the lowlands? This is the second of 2 recordings I have heard which feature great saxophonists in front of a Danish orchestral big band (the other being Ronnie Cuber's "Love For Sale"), and both of them are so cheesey they'd give Wallace & Gromit lactose intolerance. Stan Getz plays with his typical late-period eloquence and assuredness, and occasionally manages to lift the level of this music to acceptable. Most of the time, however, he is bogged down behind a barrage of synthesizers and violins that simply offend the senses. For those Getz completists out there, knock yourself out. Everybody else - run far, far away.
