Details
[Edit]This Norman Granz-produced session brings together an excellent group of mainstream players: tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, two horn men associated with cool jazz; Count Basie veteran and trumpeter, Harry Edison; big band drummer Louis Bellson; and the Oscar Peterson trio—Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, and bassist Ray Brown. The vibe of the album is both easygoing and focused, and the solos are consistently compelling. Texas native Herb Ellis spins out a solo with touches of rockabilly, Peterson balances speed and simplicity, and the horn players are in fine form. “Ballade” is a medley of four tunes: from Mulligan’s opening solo on Billy Strayhorn’s “Lush Life” right through Getz’s delicate reading of Rodgers and Hart’s “It Never Entered My Mind,” the players shine. Then they let loose on the closer, a spirited version of Dizzy Gillespie’s “Woodyn’ You.” The Swiss-born Granz brought together many musicians and oversaw a lot of recording sessions in his career. Jazz Giants ’58 is definitely one you should hear.
