Stan Getz & Bill Evans • Verve 833 802-2

Review:

The only studio meeting between Stan Getz and Bill Evans took place over two days in 1964, with the aggressive drummer Elvin Jones and either Richard Davis or Ron Carter on bass. It is peculiar that Verve shelved the results for over a decade before issuing any of the music, though it may have been felt that Getz and Evans hadn't had enough time to achieve the desired chemistry, though there are memorable moments. The punchy take of "My Heart Stood Still," the elegant interpretation of "Grandfather's Waltz," and the lush setting of the show tune "Melinda" all came from the first day's session, with Davis on bass. (Evidently he was unavailable the following day, so Carter replaced him.) Evans' driving, challenging "Funkallero" is the obvious highlight from day two, though the gorgeous "But Beautiful" and the breezy setting of "Night and Day" are also enjoyable. Only the brief version of "Carpetbagger's Theme," which seems badly out of place and suggestive of the label's interference with the session, is a bit of a disappointment. Obviously neither Getz nor Evans liked the tune, as they go through the motions in a very brief performance. [Some reissues add three unissued alternate takes, though additional material from the sessions was included in the box set The Complete Bill Evans on Verve.]

Revisión:

La única reunión de estudio entre Stan Getz y Bill Evans tuvo lugar durante dos días en 1964, con el agresivo baterista Elvin Jones y Richard Davis o Ron Carter al bajo. Es curioso que Verve archivara los resultados durante más de una década antes de publicar la música, aunque puede que se pensara que Getz y Evans no habían tenido tiempo suficiente para lograr la química deseada, aunque hay momentos memorables. La contundente toma de "My Heart Stood Still", la elegante interpretación de "Grandfather's Waltz", y la exuberante puesta en escena de la melodía del espectáculo "Melinda", todo vino de la sesión del primer día, con Davis en el bajo. (Evidentemente no estaba disponible al día siguiente, así que Carter lo reemplazó.) La conducción de Evans, desafiando a "Funkallero" es el obvio punto culminante del segundo día, aunque el magnífico "But Beautiful" y el ambiente ventoso de "Night and Day" también son agradables. Sólo la breve versión de "Carpetbagger's Theme", que parece muy fuera de lugar y sugiere la interferencia de la etiqueta en la sesión, es un poco decepcionante. Obviamente ni a Getz ni a Evans les gustó la melodía, ya que se mueven en una actuación muy breve. [Algunas reediciones añaden tres tomas alternas no emitidas, aunque el material adicional de las sesiones se incluyó en el set de la caja The Complete Bill Evans on Verve.]
