Description:

Sweet Rain by Stan Getz, released 30 August 2024. This version of Sweet Rain comes as a 1xLP. -

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Stan Getz's incomparable career includes such landmarks as the bossa nova blockbuster Getz/Gilberto, and stellar collaborations with Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Byrd, and Lionel Hampton. The saxophonist's superlative 1967 quartet recording Sweet Rain can be overlooked but Getz afficionados recognize it's quality. Standing in the shadow of the unprecedented mainstream success of Getz's bossa period that came before, the Creed Taylor produced Sweet Rain is as perfect a straight-ahead date as the leader ever made, with a remarkable young band including pianist Chick Corea, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Grady Tate providing crackling energy that clearly inspired Getz to new heights of expression, writes sfjazz.
