A fantastic live performance from Stan Getz recorded in Paris at the end of the 50s, and with maybe a bit more of an edge than some of his other European concerts! One of the key factors here is the budding modernist Martial Solal on piano who makes a nicely surprising partner for Stan  in a group that also features Jimmy Gourley on guitar, Pierre Michelot on bass, and Kenny Clarke on drums certainly something of a French pick-up group, but one that's top shelf all the way through! Stan's got a wonderful sharpness to his tone with that growing sense of fullness that would mature in the 60s, but still also this link that maybe goes a bit back towards Lester Young too  spun out on long takes of familiar tunes, very well-recorded as on other selections in this series. Titles include "The Squirrel", "Yardbird Suite", "All The Things You Are", "Topsy", "Tenderly", "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise", "Round Midnight", and "Special Club".  © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/889508/Stan-Getz:Stan-Getz-Live-In-Paris-1959
