Not many artists have the chance to start a "craze," but this jazz tenor man did just that with these five bossa-nova LPs from the first half of the '60s. These were that rare combination of best sellers and artistic triumphs: Jazz Samba with Charlie Byrd, Big Band Bossa Nova, Jazz Samba Encore!, Getz/Gilberto and Stan Getz with Guest Artist Laurindo Almeida .

This album is very good, in the tradition of Getz and Gilberto's landmark albums of the `60s, but perhaps in a "softer" vein.
There is no guarantee that you can throw a collection of gifted musicians into a studio and emerge at the end of the day or night with a great recording. Plenty of dull all-star jam sessions on record prove otherwise. Sometimes, however, the quick mix-and-match approach works. There are few instances of its working better than in this encounter between Cal Tjader and Stan Getz. No one could have predicted that the result would be one of the finest albums of both men's careers. The quality of the other participants improved the odds, even though in 1958 none of them was, by any stretch of the t... [Read More]

Tenderly marks, for Stacey Kent, a return to the Great American Songbook for which she first became known. The performances on Tenderly are clearly on another level to those of her earlier standards albums.

The pure and quiet intensity of these interpretations reveals both the song and the artist with astonishing vividness. Along with the title song, the album features such classics as Tangerine, That s All and ... [Read More]
