In Poland 1960

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this long unavailable 1960 'live in the studio' recording plus five rare live tracks, taped in Thailand, Japan and Sweden. In his 1960 visit to Poland, Stan Getz didn't bring his own group, choosing instead to perform with local musicians. The recordings contained on this CD were made during that tour, which took place just a couple of years before Getz participated in the first series of Bossa Nova recordings that would earn him great acclaim. Besides playing concerts, Getz was taken to the concert hall of the Polish National Philharmonic in Warsaw, where the five selections issued here were taped in studio conditions, without an audience. Therefore, no applause is heard and the sound of every instrument is clear and well recorded. Gambit.
