Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Captain Marvel is a 1974 jazz album by saxophonist Stan Getz recorded on March 3, 1972 and released on Columbia two years later.[1] The quintet features pianist Chick Corea, who composed most of the material, bassist Stanley Clarke, Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira and drummer Tony Williams.

Background

Six months after recording Captain Marvel, Corea, Clarke and Moreira—along with Brazilian singer Flora Purim (Moreira's wife) and flautist Joe Farrell—would go on to record Corea's Return to Forever (1972), the pioneering jazz fusion album the spawned the group of the same name. Corea would go on to rerecord and release half of his songs from Captain Marvel with Return to Forever before the album was out—namely: La Fiesta on Return to Forever; and "500 Miles High" and the titular track "Captain Marvel" on Light as a Feather (1973).

Reception

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states that "[t]his band, combining as it did the restlessness of electric jazz with Getz's trademark stubbornness in adhering to those principles that made modern jazz so great, made for a tension that came pouring out of the speakers with great mutual respect shining forth from every cut — especially the steamy Latin-drenched title track. Along with Sweet Rain, recorded for Verve, Captain Marvel is the finest recording Getz made in the late 1960s - early 1970s".[1]
