Stan Getz Plays is an album by saxophonist Stan Getz recorded in 1952 and first released on the Norgran label in 1955.[1][2] The album features tracks that were previously released on two 10-inch LPs on Clef Records (MGC 137 and MGC 143).[3]
Reception
The Allmusic review awarded the album 4½ stars, stating: "Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz is in excellent form playing with one of his finest groups... Although the music does not quite reach the excitement level of the Getz-Raney Storyville session, this music (particularly the ballads) really shows off the tenor's appealing tone". [4]
