New Stan Getz Quartet - Getz Au Go Go (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) [180-gram]

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Recorded in 1964 during two concerts at the venerable Greenwich Village venue, Cafe Au Go Go, two months after Astrud Gilberto's "Girl From Ipanema" became a Top 5 pop single. The focus of these sets, however, moved away from the Brazilian flavored fare, bringing Gilberto into the realm of a decidedly more North American style. The band features a young Gary Burton (vibraphone), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Gene Cherico (bass), and Joe Hunt (drums). There are a few personnel substitutions, with Helcio Milito (drums) and Chuck Israels (bass), respectively, filling in. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
