This 15-cut collection of
Stan Getz ballads runs the gamut from his early bossa hits with
João and
Astrud Gilberto to his ballad performances with
Bill Evans,
Oscar Peterson, and
Jim Hall. These are laid-back, beautifully arranged tracks in superior sound. While it is not a well-rounded collection of
Stan Getz material, it is an essential ballads selection. The price is right and the music itself is truly wonderful. A good buy. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
