Jazz Giants '58

by Oscar Peterson Trio, Gerry Mulligan, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Stan Getz

Overview

Producer Norman Granz (1918-2001) had an uncanny ability to create really amazing jazz albums by experimenting with the combinative chemistry of musical minds, temperaments, and personalities. While not every Granz session resulted in recordings of equal depth or profundity, the number of artistically rewarding, genre-defining albums that came together under his supervision is almost difficult for the human mind to fully comprehend. One fine example is Jazz Giants '58, a Verve album recorded inside the rented Capitol studios in Hollywood, California on August 1, 1957 and released almost exactly one year later. ~ arwulf arwulf
