LP – Verves Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging. Stan Getz\’s incomparable career includes such landmarks as the bossa nova blockbuster Getz/Gilberto, and stellar collaborations with Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Byrd, and Lionel Hampton. The saxophonist\’s superlative 1967 quartet recording Sweet Rain can be overlooked but Getz aficiandos recognise its quality. Standing in the shadow of the unprecedented mainstream success of Getz\’s bossa period that came before, the Creed Taylor produced Sweet Rain is as perfect a straight-ahead date as the leader ever made, with a remarkable young band including pianist Chick Corea, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Grady Tate providing crackling energy that clearly inspired Getz to new heights of expression, writes sfjazz.org. Seeking to offer definitive audiophile grade versions of some of the most historic and best jazz records ever recorded, Verve\’s Acoustic Sounds vinyl reissue series utilizes the skills of top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings. All titles are mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and packaged by Stoughton Printing Co. in high-quality gatefold sleeves with tip-on jackets. The releases are supervised by Chad Kassem, CEO of Acoustic Sounds, the world\’s largest source for audiophile recordings. Tracklist: Side A1. Litha (Chick Corea)2.
