Stan Getz - 'Captain Marvel' (1972)
Pianist Chick Corea had worked with tenor saxophonist Stan Getz in 1966-67. When Corea bumped into Getz in Spain around 1971, Corea proposed working with him again. So it's not surprising that when Getz returned to the U.S. in 1972 after several years in Europe, he picked Corea to play in his group for his first U.S. engagement. The group also included several of Corea's band mates—then-young bass prodigy Stanley Clarke and Brazillian percussionist Airto, plus the powerful percussion innovator, Tony Williams. After a three week live engagement in New York City, the group went into the studio on March 3rd, 1972 to record Captain Marvel. The album featured five compositions by Chick Corea plus Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life." Several of Corea's tunes show a Spanish influence. Chick played Fender Rhodes using his distinctive percussive electric keyboard style—building up sounds via fast single line runs and repetition. Getz's playing is strong and inspired here. As he did here, Getz often worked younger musicians during the 1960s and 1970s and seemed to draw inspiration from their energy and often used their compositions as well. This new, remastered edition includes two unissued alternates and one unissued tune ("Crystal Silence"), plus new liner notes by Chick Corea (plus the original notes) and is well worth hearing. [Sidenote: Captain Marvel was recorded in between sessions for the first albums by Corea's group Return to Forever. RTF recorded their eponymous CD for ECM on February 2 & 3, 1972. One of the tunes on that album "Crystal Silence," is included here as a bonus track. Two of Corea's tunes that are on Captain Marvel—"500 Miles High" and the title track were later recorded for RTF's second album, Light as a Feather, which was recorded in October, 1972 for Polydor.] — ALAN LANKIN Release Date: 5 August 2003 Stan Getz: Captain Marvel (Columbia/Legacy) hear sound samples 1.

Five Hundred Miles High [*] (Corea) - 9:29 // (* = bonus tracks) Personnel: Stan Getz (tenor sax) / Chick Corea (electric piano, Fender Rhodes) / Stanley Clarke (bass) / Tony Williams (drums) / Airto Moreira (percussion) Recorded at A&R Studios, New York, New York on March 3, 1972. Includes liner notes by Chick Corea, Albert Goldman. In the early 1970s, jazz tenor sax icon Stan Getz was clearly not standing still. While some other players of his generation were content to do (and re-do) what they'd done in the past, Getz got together with some of the best cutting-edge talent, all of whom (Corea, Williams, Moreira) had been in the bands of fellow legend Miles Davis. Also featured is Stanley Clarke, here only 20 years old and about to become one of the jazz fusion movement's biggest stars. Except for the lovely Billy Strayhorn ballad "Lush Life," all the compositions are by Corea, and would later on be heard in his own Return to Forever band. There's an infectious, joyous, Latin-tinged lilt to the tunes, which inspires Getz to some of the best playing of his career. His tone retains the "cool" by which he's been characterized--but he blows hot, too. Getz's playing on "500 Miles High" is focused ferocity. This album, unavailable for years, is one of Getz's (and Corea
