Info for The Soft Swing (Mono Remastered Edition)

The swing is soft by the sound is never sleepy -- thanks to some always-great tenor work from Stan Getz! The album definitely moves in a slightly mellow mode -- as implied by the title -- but the groove is still plenty darn soulful! Iif anything the album offers almost a bit more space than usual for Stan to do his thing in the lead -- carving out beautiful tenor lines that almost hang by themselves in space at varying points -- but which also receive some gentle rhythmic support from the trio of Mose Allison on piano, Jerry Segal on drums, and Addison Farmer on bass. Titles include "Down Beat", "Pocono Mac", "All The Things You Are", "Bye Bye Blues", and "To The Ends Of The Earth".

"It's good to have this reissue and the surviving radio broadcasts, to remind us again of that old Getz magic. Mose Allison, along for the ride, is a bonus. Although his influences supposedly included Al Haig and John Lewis, he is well on his way on this disc to becoming his own man. Together with the other quartet members, they provide an evocative reminder of fifties jazz." (James Poore, MusicWeb International)
