Stan Getz - The Lost Recordings - Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival 1966 (2 CD, 2021/FLAC)

 

The Lost Recordings found the master tapes of this double recital in the Berlin radio archives. How can one not be transported by this concert, which delivers a previously unreleased version of the tracks from the legendary 1964 album on Verve? The label is offering the world premiere of this concert recorded at the Berlin Philharmonic, as part of the 1966 Berliner Jazztage. The 19 tracks of this now unforgettable concert are added to the collection with, as always, an unequalled sound quality, thanks to the Phoenix Mastering® process

The concert given by Stan Getz's quartet with Astrud Gilberto on November 4, 1966, was a sort of contretemps. In these crazy years when everything is rushing, things have indeed changed in the lives and careers of the two main protagonists who, after a fleeting romance, have each regained their personal and artistic independence. 

After a brief romantic idyll together, each one returned to their private lives and resumed their independence as artists. Verve had brought out a series of albums by Astrud Gilberto where seductive easy listening intermingled with cool jazz, sentimental pop and languid Brazilian groove. She was at the very pinnacle of her fame, while Getz had made a remarkable comeback to jazz. Once again, he worked with arranger Eddie Sauter, this time on the soundtrack of Arthur Penn’s Mickey One. Even more noteworthy was his discovery of vibraphonist Gary Burton, barely twenty years old, the ideal musician with whom to form a regular jazz quartet with Gene Cherico on bass and Joe Hunt on drums. It was an ensemble that was receptive to new sounds and harmonic ventures.
