“Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio,” released in 1958 on Verve Records, documents the rare encounter of two contrasting yet complementary jazz greats: the relaxed tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and the brilliantly swinging, drumless trio of Oscar Peterson.While the Oscar Peterson Trio was accustomed to playing with a variety of guest soloists during their “Jazz at the Philharmonic” performances, this was an unusual situation for the tenor saxophonist.He mastered it brilliantly, however.A highlight of the album is a ten-minute ballad medley featuring no fewer than five well-known jazz standards.Verve Vault Series: cut and mastered by Ryan K.Smith from the original analog tapes at Sterling Sound and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal.Single sleeve with iconic original artwork.
