Three Classic Albums Plus: Stan Getz And The Oscar Peterson Trio / Hamp And Getz / Jazz Giants

Allmusic over "Stan Getz And The Oscar Peterson Trio" (1957): "Norman Granz was fond of pairing the legendary drummerless trio of Oscar Peterson with several stars. Granz could not have found a better match than the ripe, mature, and bebopping tenor saxophonist Getz. Music that any mainstream jazz lover can embrace." Over "Hamp And Getz" (1957): "The cool tenor of Stan Getz and the extroverted vibraphonist Lionel Hampton seems an unlikely matchup but once again Granz showed his combining talents. Hampton and Getz really battle hard on "Cherokee" and "Jumpin' at the Woodside". Classic music from two of the best." En over "Jazz Giants" (1958): "Although it is identified mainly with Getz this feels a lot like a Gerry Mulligan session, with Harry "Sweets" Edison perfectly complementing the other horns, supported by Granz' favorite Oscar Peterson Trio and master percussionist Louie Bellson. An album that sounds and feels like some of the best music ever recorded by any of the participants under any circumstances."
