Further Information


Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio, released in 1958 on Verve Records, documents a rare meeting between two contrasting but complementary jazz greats: the cool-toned tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and the hard-driving Oscar Peterson Trio. Produced by Norman Granz and recorded in Hollywood in October 1957, the session finds Getz joining a veteran rhythm section already regarded as one of the most cohesive in jazz: Peterson on piano, Herb Ellis on guitar, and Ray Brown on bass. With no drummer present, the group maintains a buoyant, propulsive swing, giving Getz the space to stretch out across a program of standards and originals, including “I Want to Be Happy,” “Tour’s End,” and “Bronx Blues.” While Getz was often heard in more subdued or orchestrated contexts during this period, this session highlights his command of bebop language and small-group swing. Peterson’s trio, known for its drive and responsiveness, adapts fluidly to Getz’s tone and phrasing, yielding a session marked by relaxed interplay, rhythmic clarity, and understated virtuosity.
