Our Take

Stan Getz, the smooth saxophone maestro with a penchant for Scandinavian vibes, takes us on a cool and breezy journey with his latest release "In Scandinavia 1959-1960". From the first note, Getz's quintessential tone envelops listeners in a warm embrace, transporting us to a smoky jazz club in Copenhagen or a snowy fjord in Norway.

The quartet, consisting of Getz on saxophone, Jan Johansson on piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Ed Thigpen on drums, effortlessly weaves together intricate melodies and harmonies, creating a tapestry of sound that is both soothing and invigorating. Johansson's delicate piano work adds a touch of elegance to the ensemble, while Brown's masterful bass playing keeps the rhythm driving forward.

Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Ack Värmeland, du sköna" and the upbeat "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars", showcasing Getz's versatility and musical prowess. Each track feels like a mini-vacation to the tranquil landscapes of Scandinavia, with Getz's emotive playing painting vivid pictures in the mind's eye.

"In Scandinavia 1959-1960" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to bask in the warm glow of Stan Getz's timeless talent. So grab a glass of aquavit, put on your coziest sweater, and let the music of the Stan Getz Quartet transport you to a world of Nordic coolness and sophistication. Skål!
