Stan Getz and Bill Evans are about as close as musicians can get in terms of artistry, musical philosophy and technique.
These sessions, recorded in 1963 with drummer Elvin Jones and bassists Ron Carter (Side A) and Richard Davis (Side B), perfectly blend their strong individual styles and collaborative sensibilities, with both artists at the peak of their creative powers.
Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered on 180g vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

Saxophonist Art Pepper was considered one of the best altos of his time, just behind Charlie Parker.
This 1960 recording, whose album's title presages the addiction that would soon offline the self-taught musician's career, features compositions written by fellow saxophonists (including Ornette Coleman's "Tears Inside" and Buddy Collette's "A Bit of Basie").
Finding Pepper at his finest, most limber form, his own composition "Las Cuevas de Mario" is a particular standout in 5/4 time and would pop up on his set lists in subsequent years.
This new edition is released as part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds series on 180-gram vinyl pressed at QRP with (AAA) lacquers cut from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman and is presented in a Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
This 1960 album's inventive Richard Weiss arrangements combine with Carter's uniquely masterful - and modern - vocals for fresh takes on standards. Highlights include a lively run through "What A Little Moonlight Can Do", inspired scatting on "On The Alamo" and a beautifully tender take on "There's No You". The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
