In 1963, tenor-saxophonist Stan Getz was riding high from his bossa-nova hit “Desafinado” and he would soon be recording with Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao and Astrud Gilberto including “The Girl From Ipanema.”
But Getz rarely stood still as he shows on his cooking version of “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To” with a modern rhythm section comprised of pianist Steve Kuhn, bassist Tommy Williams, and drummer Al Harewood.
The uptempo performance includes a stop-time chorus for the tenor, an inventive solo by Kuhn, and Getz’s tradeoff with the rarely filmed Harewood.
This film gives one an additional opportunity to admire Getz’s luscious tone.
