Stan Getz • Voices

 

Review by Stephen Cook
Getz worked yet another angle during the '60s with this appealing jazz combo and choral mix. He had already followed up a slew of straight jazz dates with some initial forays into the world of strings and, of course, his massively successful explorations of bossa nova. Now, Getz plies his melancholy yet breezy horn through a seraphic and somewhat haunting backdrop of subtle bossa rhythms, strings, and a wordless choir. While it doesn't eclipse his innovative work with arranger Eddie Sauter (the strings date Focus and soundtrack Mickey One), Voices still features a wealth of top arrangements, a fine backing group, and plenty of Getz's hypnotic brand of saxophone alchemy. Sporting charts by Claus Ogerman and the talents of such jazz luminaries as Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Ron Carter, and Grady Tate, Voices may not qualify as an essential Getz disc, but it is one that will be enjoyed immensely by fans.

Reseña de Stephen Cook
Getz trabajó desde otro ángulo durante los años 60 con esta atractiva mezcla de combo de jazz y coral. Ya había seguido una serie de citas de jazz directo con algunas incursiones iniciales en el mundo de las cuerdas y, por supuesto, sus exitosas exploraciones de la bossa nova. Ahora, Getz hace sonar su melancólica pero ligera trompa sobre un fondo seráfico y algo inquietante de sutiles ritmos de bossa, cuerdas y un coro sin palabras. Aunque no eclipsa su innovador trabajo con el arreglista Eddie Sauter (las cuerdas datan de Focus y la banda sonora de Mickey One), Voices sigue presentando una gran cantidad de arreglos de primera, un buen grupo de acompañamiento y mucha de la hipnótica alquimia del saxofón de Getz. Con arreglos de Claus Ogerman y el talento de luminarias del jazz como Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Ron Carter y Grady Tate, Voices puede que no sea un disco esencial de Getz, pero sus fans lo disfrutarán enormemente.
