Stan Getz’s 1982 band featured the harmonically advanced pianist Jim McNeely, bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Victor Lewis; Billy Hart fills in for Lewis on three numbers. This date sticks (with one exception) to high-quality jazz standards, some of which (“Sippin at Bell’s”) are not performed all that often. Getz is particularly swinging on “Tempus Fugit” and quite lyrical on Billy Strayhorn’s “Blood Count.” Continue reading “The Stan Getz Quartet – Pure Getz (1982) {2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip}”

Eagles appeared to be finished after the 2016 death of Glenn Frey — Don Henley said some words to that effect that year — but in 2017, Henley, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit revived the band with Vince Gill and Glenn’s son Deacon taking Glenn’s place. After playing a pair of festivals in 2017, the group went on tour in 2018, a jaunt that included a three-night stop at the Forum in Los Angeles.

Diana Krall reunited with Tommy LiPuma, the producer who worked with her for the first decade-and-a-half of her career, for Turn Up The Quiet, a 2017 album that found the pianist returning to the Great American Songbook interpretations that made her name. LiPuma died just before the release of Turn Up the Quiet, prompting Krall to fashion a quasi-tribute to her collaborator from the album’s leftovers.
