Stan Getz’s incomparable career includes such landmarks as the bossa nova blockbusterGetz/Gilberto, and stellar collaborations with Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Byrd, and Lionel Hampton. The saxophonist’s superlative 1967 quartet recordingSweet Raincan be overlooked but Getz afficiandos recognize its quality.

Standing in the shadow of the unprecedented mainstream success of Getz’s bossa period that came before, the Creed Taylor producedSweet Rainis as perfect a straight-ahead date as the leader ever made, with a remarkable young band including pianist Chick Corea, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Grady Tate providing crackling energy that clearly inspired Getz to new heights of expression.
