Poetry (album)

Poetry is a duo album by saxophonist Stan Getz and pianist Albert Dailey, which was recorded in 1983 and released on the Elektra/Musician label. It was reissued on CD on the Blue Note label in 2001.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This duet session is as much pianist Albert Dailey's date as Stan Getz's. Getz lets Dailey, who died a little over a year later, dominate the music and the lyrical pianist comes up with some fresh ideas during the standards set."
