Bill Evans / Stan Getz – Previously Unreleased Recordings (SHM-SACD single layer)

A wonderful musical encounter between Stan Getz, the greatest white tenor saxophonist, and Bill Evans, the poet of jazz piano. Rousing improvisations unfold with the outstanding rhythm section featuring bassists Ron Carter and Richard Davis, as well as Elvin Jones (drums). Recorded on May 5–6, 1964, with producer Creed Taylor at Van Gelder Studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, the album was not released until 1973. Ken Dryden of AllMusic wrote : “It’s strange that Verve held back the results for over a decade before releasing the music. Perhaps they felt that Getz and Evans didn’t have enough time to develop the desired chemistry, even though there are many unforgettable moments on this album.”

As part of the popular “Verve Acoustic Sounds Series,” Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic as a limited edition Japan SHM-SACD in a mini LP cardboard sleeve with OBI stripe.

This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal’s SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums’ master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L’Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. – Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector’s items for the Japanese market.
