"Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio," released in 1958 on Verve Records, documents the rare encounter of two contrasting yet complementary jazz greats: the relaxed tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and the brilliantly swinging, drumless trio of Oscar Peterson.
While the Oscar Peterson Trio was accustomed to playing with a variety of guest soloists during their "Jazz at the Philharmonic" performances, this was an unusual situation for the tenor saxophonist.
He mastered it brilliantly, however.
A highlight of the album is a ten-minute ballad medley featuring no fewer than five well-known jazz standards.
