Stan Getz - The Lyrical Stan Getz (1988)

I believe this album is one of Stan's most profound projects. Discontinued by the production company, this album still influences my playing to this day! For instance, the one thing that drew me to this song was how he opened Willow Weep For Me as he "weeps" for attention in an introducing cadenza. Another thing, interestingly enough, is the drummer on this album does not use a hi-hat for the duration of the song (which strikes me... I don't know how, but it does). I believe the innovation of this very popular standard has caught much attention, but is rarely played on jazz stations, if ever. I recommend the producers re-release this album.
