A classic Prestige LP that compiles earlier sides by the young tenor genius
Stan Getz – four tunes from a 1949 session recorded under
Stan Getz & His Four Brothers, with tenor work from
Zoot Sims,
Al Cohn, Allen Eager, and Brew Moore – all blowing with
Getz in a real "brothers-like" sax section sound. The remaining 4 tracks feature
Stan and
Al Cohn, working in a 1952 session with George Wallington on piano and Kai Winding on trombone – on some nice light boppish tracks that have that sweet smooth
Getz tone firmly in place. The album's got a great Don Martin cover, and titles include "Battleground", "Five Brothers", "Four & One Moore", "Red Door", and "
Zoot Case".
