Free Music Notes for Bossas and Ballads: The Lost Sessions
Free Music Review: Essential
Hit: 5 Stars
I hate to resort to a cliche, but if you don't like this record, you don't like jazz.
A fine band (a standout effort from Kenny Barron), great tunes, and inspired playing by one of the true greats. I can't help but think that Getz was acutely aware that he was running out of time to say what he had to say.
His playing was always beautiful, melodic and wickedly creative, but twoards the end of his life Getz added a profound emotional power to his already remarkable bag of tricks. Essential.
Bossas and Ballads: The Lost Sessions Poster
There has been no lack of previously unissued material by the late Stan Getz coming out on CD, but the opportunity to get a further taste of the great tenor saxophonist's exceptional final period is not to be passed on. Recorded two months before his death in 1989 (and two years after the brilliant club dates documented on Anniversary and Serenity), Bossas and Ballads finds him in top form, continuing his memorable association with pianist Kenny Barron. Produced for A&M by Herb Alpert, but shelved in favor of the synthesizered Apasionado, this is vintage Getz: cool and relaxed but possessed of a sneaky explosive power. The man's lyricism could be devastating, and knowing he would be soon gone adds to the potency of his expression on songs such as "Sunshower" (one of five tunes by Barron), Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes" and Sam Rivers' "Beatrice." A quarter century after spearheading the bossa nova movement in America, he brings a bit less lilt to the form, but more body, never resting on his inventions. --Lloyd SachsJazz Music CDs
