From Amazon.com
This album, a series of duets laying the wondrously inquisitive piano of Kenny Barron next to the breathy, half-lit tenor of Stan Getz, was both the last public appearance and the final recording in the life of Getz. Recorded with astonishing clarity live at Copenhagen's Montmartre Café, People Time serves as a passionate coda to the life of this great saxophonist. Many of the tunes seem chosen for their emotional content, as if Getz were aware this might be his swan song. Speculation aside, this is a remarkably gorgeous, exquisitely paced recording. Throughout, Getz and Barron exhibit both a deep understanding of the material as well as sympathetic, truly harmonious playing. Never rushed, never brash, People Time lingers over melodies, fleshing them out and extracting every ounce of feeling. A must-have for fans of both artists. --S. Duda

A fond farewell April 11, 2006

Massively recommended. These were Getz's final recordings, three months before his death. A duo performance is never easy. The increased workload must have put tremendous strain on his health but you would never know from listening to this exquisite live double CD. Fourteen tracks, culled from four consecutive nights at the Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen, show Getz at his most
majestic. The wonderful Kenny Barron on piano shows complete empathy with Getz, and the interplay between them is perfect. This is exemplified by the ballad 'First Song'. It is a total masterpiece.

You can't listen to "People Time" without being reminded that this was Getz's last statement. The whole 2-CD set is imbued with a poignancy that is impossible to escape from - not that you would want to! The whole Getz legacy boils down to this recording - a man on stage (live) with his saxophone, and the barest of accompaniments, playing the old standards for one last time. Although dying of cancer at the time he plays like a man who is blissfully unaware that his time is running out, and that's what makes this recording so special. Even if you don't normally like Getz I'd recommend "People Time". It has a depth that few artist ever achieve.
