Originally released in 1967, the compilation album Prezervation brings together tracks that jazz saxophonist Stan Getz recorded in 1949 and 1950. Backing Getz here is pianist Al Haig, who gets second billing, as well as guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Raney, bassist Tommy Potter, drummer Roy Haynes, and others. The album is a superb example of early West Coast jazz and a must-have collection for Getz aficionados. ~ Matt Collar
