For many fans and critics, the cool, Latin-tinged jazz of “Sweet Rain” is the best Stan Getz ever recorded on LP – even though the legendary tenor saxophonist had recorded numerous brilliant albums over six decades. Steve Huey's AllMusic review reinforces this view, stating that “the quartet's musical level remains high on every selection, and the wonderfully consistent atmosphere the album evokes makes it one of Getz's best albums. An absolute classic.”
Recorded on March 21 and 30, 1967, with producer Creed Taylor at Van Gelder Studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, “Sweet Rain” was initially overshadowed by previous big sales successes, but it did not remain unnoticed for long. This was also thanks to Getz's band, which consisted of three young, highly talented, up-and-coming, and experimental musicians: pianist Chick Corea, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Grady Tate.
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.
