Stan Getz: Here's That Rainy Day

This album was a sequel to the first Getz/Gilberto record, which received nine Grammy nominations as well as great commercial success. But its not really #2, since theres no Jobim or Astrud, and Getz and Gilberto never play together. In fact, this seems like two entirely separate albums -- one strictly jazz, and the other Brazilian; even the liners barely mention Gilbertos trio. Nestled in this confusion is arguably the most beautiful version of Rainy Day that Getz ever recorded: his playing is exceptionally tender, while Burtons shining vibes are the perfect complement to his velvety tone.
