Bob Brookmeyer

For this 1964 session, Stan Getz brings his working band into the studio with his old costar Bob Brookmeyer, the trombonist and arranger. Getz's group at the time was made up of Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones and Gary Burton, so every moment of it is a sublime meeting of '50s cool and '60s post-bop. Tony Bennett (probably touring with Getz at the time), guest croons on a lovely reading of Ellington's "Day Dream."
