Stan Getz • What the World Needs Now Stan Getz Plays Bacharach and David

 

Review:

Long ignored by jazz folks who once thought the music of Burt Bacharach was beneath contempt, Stan Getz's collection of Bacharach-iana was no doubt rushed back into print in 1998 by the surprising resurgence of the composer's popularity among Gen X'ers. Truth to tell, though, is that this isn't one of Getz's better gigs; his tone is not in the best of shape, and he sounds bored with some of the tunes (like when he lazily throws a jaded quote from "Tea for Two" in the middle of "Alfie"). However, "Any Old Time of the Day" is pretty good, as is "Trains and Boats and Planes," and "A House Is Not a Home" really engages Getz's attention (it is the only track to top four minutes in length). Richard Evans supplies the routine string and brass charts on most of the tracks, and Claus Ogerman kicks in some others on three tracks, including some thoroughly useless voices. There are some top-flight jazzmen in the ranks -- Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Kenny Burrell, Chick Corea, Phil Upchurch -- but listeners only get to hear the latter two in the solo spotlight.

Revisión:

Ignorada durante mucho tiempo por la gente del jazz que una vez pensó que la música de Burt Bacharach era despreciable, la colección de Bacharach-iana de Stan Getz sin duda se volvió a imprimir en 1998 por el sorprendente resurgimiento de la popularidad del compositor entre los Gen X'ers. La verdad es que esta no es una de las mejores actuaciones de Getz; su tono no es el mejor, y suena aburrido con algunas de las canciones (como cuando perezosamente lanza una cita hastiada de "Tea for Two" en medio de "Alfie"). Sin embargo, "Any Old Time of the Day" es bastante buena, así como "Trains and Boats and Planes", y "A House Is Not a Home" realmente atrae la atención de Getz (es el único tema que supera los cuatro minutos de duración). Richard Evans suministra los gráficos de rutina de cuerdas y metales en la mayoría de los temas, y Claus Ogerman hace algunos otros en tres temas, incluyendo algunas voces completamente inútiles. Hay algunos jazzistas de primera fila en las filas - Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Kenny Burrell, Chick Corea, Phil Upchurch - pero los oyentes sólo llegan a escuchar los dos últimos en el solo.
