Review by Daniele Caroline Müller

Verve Jazz No. 3 by Stan Getz: A Timeless Journey Through Swing and Sophistication Stan Getz’s Verve Jazz No. 3 is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. Released under Metro Records in Germany, it’s a masterclass in cool jazz with just enough edge to keep things interesting. The sheer talent crammed into this record—featuring legends like Lars Gullin on baritone saxophone, Jimmy Raney on guitar, and Conte Candoli blowing trumpet—is staggering. But let’s cut to the chase: this isn’t an album review for audiophiles who want every note dissected; it’s about how the music makes you feel. Take “The Way You Look Tonight,” for instance. It kicks off with Stan Getz weaving his tenor sax magic, smooth as silk but not afraid to dig deeper when the moment calls for it. There’s something almost conversational about his playing here—he doesn’t just play notes; he tells stories. Duke Jordan’s piano chimes in subtly, never overpowering but always adding texture. And then there’s Shelley Manne on drums, keeping everything tight without stealing the spotlight. This track sticks because it feels alive, like you’re sitting right there in the studio watching these pros work their magic. Another standout is “Flamingo.” If you’ve ever doubted whether jazz could be both sultry and playful, this tune will change your mind. Lou Levy’s piano intro sets the mood perfectly, and once Getz comes in, it’s game over. His tone is so buttery-smooth, it’s hard not to get lost in it. What really grabs me, though, is the interplay between Getz and Benny Bailey’s trumpet—they bounce off each other like old friends finishing each other’s sentences. It’s moments like these that remind you why live recordings from this era are pure gold. Now, sure, some might argue that albums like Verve Jazz No. 3 are products of their time—a collection of standards played by session musicians at the top of their game. But that undersells what makes this record special. Every track breathes personality, even when they’re covering well-worn classics like “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” or “Jeepers Creepers.” These aren’t just songs; they’re snapshots of a vibe, a feeling, a way of being. Here’s the thing: listening to Verve Jazz No. 3 feels less like hearing a polished studio project and more like stumbling upon a late-night jam session where everyone happens to be ridiculously talented. Maybe that’s why it still resonates today. Or maybe it’s just proof that great music doesn’t need gimmicks—it just needs heart. Either way, if you haven’t spun this gem yet, do yourself a favor and hit play. Just don’t blame me if you end up humming “Flamingo” all day.
