One Of Our Deleted Albums Series Stan Getz (1927-1991) released this album in 1964 on Verve Records, catalogue number V6-8600. The album features recordings of a live performance at the Cafe Au Go Go in New York City on 19 August 1964 with vocals by Astrud Gilberto. The album was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and anything recorded by Rudy Van Gelder sounds good. If you see a credit on an album saying "Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder" you can rest assured the sound quality is first rate. Unfortunately this album appears to have been deleted but it is available on a Japanese import CD.

One Of Our Deleted Albums Series This album is part of a series of 100 "Giants Of Jazz" albums released in the 1970's on a seemingly defunct Italian label. As far as I can tell, none of these 100 albums are currently available. This album is number 50 in the series of 100 and features a quartet of Joe Newman (trumpet), Hank Jones (piano), George Duvivier (bass) and Alan Dawson (drums). The album notes do not list a recording date so I'm guessing this album was recorded in the mid to late 1970's. Track List: 1. Softly As In A Morning Sunrise 0:00 2. It's Only A Paper Moon 8:23 3. I Love My Woman 14:28 4. Fiddy's Moods 23:17 5. Summertime 28:40 6.
