Stan Getz spent several years living in Scandinavia in the late '50s where he flourished while being a bit forgotten in the U.S. This double-CD improves upon the original Dragon double-LP by adding three previously unreleased radio appearances. Getz is heard in a nonet with trumpeter Benny Bailey, trombonist Ake Persson and baritonist Lars Gullin and in quartets with either Jan Johansson or Bosse Soderman on piano. The music is essentially cool-toned and swinging bop and finds the tenorman in excellent form. This straightahead music perfectly sums up Getz's brief European period. ~ Scott Yanow
