Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz's neo-big band album Apasionado has been consigned to minor league status since its original release in 1990. It does, indeed, look unpromising: recorded in fall 1989, when Getz was undergoing treatment for the cancer which would kill him less than two years later; with a pair of synthesizers replicating a string section; and with the commercially astute but MOR focused Herb Alpert producing.

But 20 years on and rereleased, Apasionado rises way above expectations. Getz is in soaring form, commanding attention so completely that the ersatz strings, and Alpert's slight arrangements, become irrelevant, barely emerging from the distant background where they belong. Apasionado, despite the received wisdom, is actually a very fine Getz album.

The album's structure was modeled, in large part, on Getz's masterpiece Focus (Verve, 1961), on which the saxophonist improvised, with practically no rehearsal and without prewritten melodies, over a suite played by a string orchestra arranged by Eddie Sauter. While Sauter's classically influenced writing on Focus has enough depth to stand up on its own, and Alpert's on Apasionado has a schlocky, fusionesque flavor, both albums present Getz in unrehearsed, stream of consciousness flow, creating the "themes" and their extended improvisations entirely in the moment. On Apasionado, only "Waltz For Stan," synth player and orchestrator Eddie del Barrio's "Coba" and synth player Mike Lang's "Lonely Lady" have pre-composed melodies. A couple of tracks last over eight minutes, the average length is over six, and Getz is on-microphone almost continuously, his longer solos complemented by shorter, more occasional ones from pianist Kenny Barron.

The Apasionado sessions, over three consecutive days in September 1989, didn't start well. Finding some errors on his score, Getz roundly cursed del Barrio, who had made the notations. Del Barrio responded in kind and both men stormed out of the studio. Only Alpert's practiced diplomacy saved the day. In summer 1990, Getz toured Apasionado with a smaller band including del Barrio and Barron, and with drummer Terri Lyne Carrington and electric bassist Alex Blake replacing the album's Jeff Porcaro and Jimmy Johnson (see the YouTube clip below). The album's seven-piece horn section was too expensive to take on the road.

Review by Chris May, AllAboutJazz.com, October 6, 2009

The legend of Stan Getz has always fascinated me and in 1990 when this masterpiece was released, Stan Getz made an appearance on the Boston Pops where he also played with the other guest artist Melissa Manchester and was so extraordinary that I purchased "Apasionado" upon its release!! Hypnotic is the opening title song and Stan plays with so much soul that I am carried away each time and the arrangement is incredible!! Kenny Barron on Acoustic Piano is also amazing and this is truly a magical musical journey that is a great escape and the best instrumental set in my collection that I come back to year after year!!! Orchestrations flow and the fluid solo of Stan in "Coba" is again brilliantly complemented by the masterful Kenny Barron creating a rich tropical delight full of passion. Totally inspired is this set of original classics that were all composed by producer Herb Alpert, arranger Eddie del Barrio and Stan Getz himself!!! Mesmerizing is the enchanting "Waltz For Stan" with Stan giving a soulful and glorious performanace quite unlike anything I have ever experience before and the arrangement again beautifully showcases his classic solo. Exotic latin rhythms caress and surround a gorgeous passionate solo that is full of fire in the exquisite "Espanola" while fascinating rhythm changes make "Madrugada" a wild ride with incredible interplay between Stan and Kenny Barron with both at their absolute peak!! Each work has its own unique feel with Stan mellow yet powerful and all over the map and at his all time creative peak and one would never know that he was extremely ill when this recording was made. I was so sad when he passed away so quickly after its release as this was a new plateau…Stan weaves a mellow spell in the beautiful jazzy "Quiet Storm" classic "Amorous Cat" and gives another masterful performance in the tour-de-force "Midnight Ride" which again features GREAT keyboard playing by Kenny Barron that flows beautifully with Mr. Getz who is at an incredible peak in this stunning masterpiece that is a ride you won't want to end!!! Ending this soulful set is the soft and haunting "Lonely Lady" that is a 4 A.M. classic that is very smooth and a lovely ending to a remarkable set that is my personal favorite from this legend…Thank You Mr. Getz for this incredible gift that is from your soul…This is a timeless classic…
