   Summary: A dream quartet.
This CD presents a very important collaboration. Stan Getz may be the most lyrical tenor saxophone player to have ever graced the face of the earth. Only Lester Young comes close. Prez modeled his sound on that of Frankie Trumbauer's C-melody saxophone, and Getz' model is Prez. Both of them transcend Trumbauer's syrupy improvisations. Getz' tone and the lyricism it supports are evident. All of this is for context, of course. This recording is truly a major musical event. It was on a par with Lester Young's famous collaborations with Teddy Wilson and Oscar Peterson. During this 1957 recording session, all of which is on the CD, Peterson's trio and Getz were more than comfortable with one another, and their mutual musical respect yielded classic performances . The cooperation is evident in Getz' solo on "I Want to Be Happy," a model of precision and lyrical invention. Peterson's solos are equally impressive; there's no unnecessary embellishment or decoration, and he swings powerfully. The long ballad medley--"Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered," "I Don't Know Why, I Just Do," "How Long Has This Been Going On?", "I Can't Get Started," and "Polka Dots and Moonbeams"--features fine solos by Getz and Peterson as well as Herb Ellis on guitar and Ray Brown on bass. In the interplay between the trio and Getz in such numbers as Getz' "Bronx Blues." the quartet sounds like a permanent group. In "Three Little Words" Ellis sets down a solid rhythm and Peterson comps behind Getz' opening solo before delivering an eloquent statement of his own which Getz answers with equal grace. The Getz-Peterson collaboration is particularly appealing on Ellis' "Detour Ahead," a prime instance of their treatment of ballad material. On "Sunday" Ray Brown's persistent bass and Ellis' percussive guitar support Getz admirably. The quartet even approximates a rhythm 'n blues song with Getz' "Blues for Herky." It's not every day that you hear Herb Ellis playing blues guitar with Oscar Peterson doing boogie woogie and Stan Getz blowing like he was in a jump band. But here it is, and it comes as a surprise bonus with some really superb jazz.

   Summary: HOLY GUACOMOLE!!!!
This is a nice, enjoyable and long CD (unlike some of his bossa nova ones that are 35 minutes). I like all of his bossa nova stuff much better, but if you want non-bossa nova Getz, this is pretty darn good.

   Summary: Smooth -- standard Getz backed up by the great Peterson
I just got this CD, and I love it. Very soothing and relaxing. The emphasis is definitely on Getz; he plays over Oscar's piano, so it's more Stan Getz than the Oscar Peterson Trio. If you're a fan of Getz, you'll love this album.

   Summary: Getz & Oscar
This CD is a joy to listen to. Two outstanding jazz giants get together to enhance the other's abilities. A really rare blending of different approaches of musicial attitudes. Oscar's dazzling digitynastics seem to bring Stan's "cool" style up a notch or two. Great listening!

   Summary: Thoroughly enjoyable jazz gem
The Oscar Peterson Trio never sounded so good. What a beautiful blending of melody and rhythm this group has. An atomic clock could be set with what Oscar, Ray and Herb do. The addition of Stan Getz's melodic ideas makes this CD a true joy. One gets the impression from how Oscar sometimes starts his solos by quoting the previous soloist that the guy can play almost anything that happens to enter his head.
