A revelatory classic. Absolutely essential for any jazz collection. (Steve Huey AllMusic) So this is a plea to listen to this music, rather than just putting it on and going about some other activity. Getz was a consummate soloist, but the band he had behind him Byrd, Gene Byrd, Keter Betts, Bill Reichenbach, Buddy Depperschmidt are also completely invested in this music. Its quality is unquestionable.
