CD ReviewsA Must for Getz fans Paul Duke | Los Angeles, CA USA | 08/23/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a wonderful record, and anyone who is a fan of Stan Getz will enjoy his excellent playing here, with great company -- Jimmy Rowles, an idiosyncratic and charming pianist who was somewhat underappreciated because he spent most of his career on the west coast, and the greats Buster Williams and Elvin Jones. A couple of performances here are real classics -- especially "The Peacocks", a beautiful tune which was also performed by some other fine musicians for the soundtrack of the film "Round Midnight." My only quibble is the Jon Hendricks vocal additions on two tunes -- he transcribed two of Getz's improvised solos and overdubbed sung versions of the solos later, so it sounds like Getz and the singers are improvising together. I find the effect weird. And especially on this GREAT performance of Wayner Shorter's "The Chess Players" (why is this incredibly swinging tune not played more often?) I dearly wish I could hear it without the voices. If anyone from Columbia happens to read this -- there are many of us fans out here waiting for a re-release of this album with a bonus track WITHOUT the voices. What heaven that would be." Stan gets credit, but Jimmie rules! 06/27/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "When Jimmie Rowles plays and/or sings, it's the real deal. He doesn't show off, he doesn't have to. He tears your heart out on "My Buddy" then parties on "Rose Marie". Jon Hendricks & Co. ruin "The Chess Game" with their sweet slick harmonizing, a mismatch on this CD. Just skip track 6 and all is good." The Peacocks Rocks 01/05/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is really Getz at his best. The Peacocks rocks, and the Chess Players--I would beg to differ with my North Hollywood friend who wrote the first review--is the rockingest tune on the whole CD. It is a tip top solo, sung and played in flawless unison. Elvin Jones is altogether not a bad drummer, in my humble opinion..."
