For Lovers: Chet Baker/John Coltrane/Stan Getz collects all three of the Verve compilations into one bargain-priced box set. While these are by no means the best representations of each artist's career, they are superb single-disc collections perfectly suited for romantic afterglow situations. Included are such iconic cuts as trumpeter Chet Baker's "Touch of Your Lips," and "Everything Happens to Me," as well as tenor saxophonist Stan Getz's classic bossa nova track "Corcovado" and his equally atmospheric take on Burt Bacharach's "The Look of Love." Although tenor saxophone legend John Coltrane is better known as an adventurous and fiery artist, he was also a gorgeous balladeer as demonstrated here on tracks like "My One and Only Love" and "Soul Eyes." If you are in the mood for some stylish, urbane, and classic romantic jazz you can't go wrong with For Lovers. ~ Matt Collar Two saxophonists and one trumpeter hold sway in this three-CD Verve collection of candlelight music for lovers of all ages. Chet Baker proves that his fragile, intuitive vocals are an ideal foil for his trumpet playing on his versions of "You Go to My Head" and "Everything Happens to Me"; Johnny Hartman provides vocal assistance to saxophonist John Coltrane on the dreamy "My One and Only Love," while Coltrane himself plays lyrically on "Soul Eyes" and "Nancy With the Laughing Face"; and Stan Getz's famed partnership with Astrud Gilberto is featured on "Corcovado" and "Girl from Ipanema." Getz was one of the jazz's premier romantic saxophonists, and his versions of "Moonlight in Vermont" and "Alfie" are particular highlights.
