Hip-o Select kicks off 2011 with a new set of early works by Stan Getz.

Quintets: The Clef & Norgran Albums is three discs of Getz in his first recordings for Verve founder Norman Granz's earliest labels. Five 10" LPs are represented here, alongside some single and EP tracks and three previously unreleased alternate takes. If you can believe it, the set marks the CD debut of much of this material as well.

Order the set from the label now and have a look at the track lists after the jump.
