A fond farewell - By: G. A. Kershaw, 11 Apr 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 Montmartrein Copenhagen, show Getz at his most
majestic. The wonderful Kenny Barron on piano shows complete empathy with Getz, & the interplay between them is perfect. This is exemplified by the ballad 'First Song'. It is a total masterpiece.
Sublime... - By: , 09 Sep 2001 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, & 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, & 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.
