Info zu Getz/Gilberto (Remastered Expanded Edition)

Ein Blick auf dieses legendäre Albumcover und alles ist klar: DER Bossa-Nova-Klassiker, DER Bestseller von Stan Getz, DIE Originalversion von The Girl From Ipanema. Kaum zu glauben, auch dieses Album hat in diesem Monat schon 50 Jahre auf dem Buckel. Dass es immer noch so frisch wie im Erscheinungsjahr 1964 klingt, beweist die Expanded Edition, die jetzt zum Jubiläum erscheint. Die musikalische Bedeutung von Getz/Gilberto für den Durchbruch des Bossa Nova ist unbestritten, die LP war das erste Jazzalbum das einen „Album Of The Year“-Grammy gewann! Die Neuausgabe ist ein Leckerbissen für Audiophile, denn nicht nur wurde das Album neu von den 1st-Generation-Stereobändern remastert, sondern erstmals wurde dabei auch das korrekte Rechts-Links-Verhältnis wiederhergestellt, das bei allen bisherigen CDs falsch war. Da im Jahre 1964 auch noch Mono-LPs erschienen, ist das komplette Album auch in seiner damaligen Mono-Fassung als Bonus auf dem Album, ebenso die beiden Single-Versionen von „The Girl From Ipanema” und “Corcovado“.

Stan Getz
was a tenor saxophonist of the first rank who, while exploring and pursuing a purity of musical expression, maintained a large following. He attracted it early in his career with his recording of "Early Autumn" with the Woody Herman band in 1948, more or less sustained it during the Fifties (which were not always tranquil times for him), and then, in the early Sixties, expanded it as he helped introduce Brazilian bossa nova rhythms to jazz. With "Desafinado" and other tunes, Getz established a sound and a beat that appeared and soared on the charts that rank recordings by the number sold. When he died in 1991, he was one of the most esteemed jazz figures among musicians, critics, and general listeners. He gianed this acceptance despite never having compromised his art.

Although Getz played attractive compositions tastefully with harmonic and melodic sophistication, so too did many substantial musicians who never received much critical and popular acclaim. The primary reason for his greatness and his popularity lies elsewhere, in his tone. It is uniquely his. Big and pure and rich and definite, it possesses such an intrinsic appeal that master saxophonist and innovator John Coltrane proclaimed his envy of it — and Roost Records released a Getz album in the Fifties called, simply and accurately, The Sound.

Getz recorded his most sublime creations during his long affiliation with first the Clef and Norgran labels and then Verve Records, from 1952 to 1971.
