	Stan Getz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Getz's prime influence was the wispy, mellow tone of Lester Young, yet Getz continued to develop his approach to playing throughout his life.
		Getz's first two quintets were notable for their personnel, including Charlie Parker's rhythm section of drummer Roy Haynes, pianist Al Haig and bassist Tommy Potter.
		In 1998, The "Stan Getz Media Center and Library"' at the Berklee College of Music was dedicated to the memory of the saxophonist through a donation from the Herb Alpert Foundation.

	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Stan Getz
		Stan Getz started playing professionally at the age 15 in New York, and when he was only a year older made his first recording, as a sideman with Jack Teagarden.
		Although Getz continued to lead jazz groups, and helped to launch the careers of Gary Burton, Steve Swallow, Chick Corea, Tony Williams, Airto Moreira, and other promising young musicians, he was out of sympathy with the free-jazz and rock movements, and he spent the years 1969 to 1972 in semi-retirement in Europe.
		Getz was an important exponent of his instrument and one of the supremely melodious improvisers in modern jazz, with a style deeply rooted in the swing period.

		It was the great Stan Getz and I was overwhelmed to say the least when I heard him ask me if I was free to go to Europe with him in three days.

		Now approaching his late fifties, Stan still displays that youthful enthusiasm for the music, which has made him the "Dorian Gray of jazz." In this interview, he also reveals a master plan for jazz education, which will be put into action in 1986 as Artist-in-Residence at Stanford University.
		Stan's future recording plans cross so many boundaries in music as to be astonishing, including pending albums with his East Coast Quartet, pop albums with Kenny Rankin and Billy Joel, and a planned collaboration with Leonard Bernstein.
		Jane (Stan's lady) sees my fingers moving in meditation and she knows not to talk or disturb me. That's what I call the 'alpha state.' That's a state of relaxed concentration and effortless creativity.

	Stan Getz, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
		Getz, whose main early influence was Lester Young, grew to be a major influence himself and to his credit he never stopped evolving.
		Getz's playing helped Johnny Smith have a hit in "Moonlight in Vermont," during 1953-1954 Bob Brookmeyer made his group a quintet and, despite some drug problems during the decade, Getz was a constant poll winner.
		During the next year, Getz made bossa nova-flavored albums with Gary McFarland's big band, Luiz Bonfá, and Laurindo Almeida, but it was Getz/Gilberto (a collaboration with Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto) that was his biggest seller, thanks in large part to "The Girl From Ipanema" (featuring the vocals of Astrud and João Gilberto).

		Getz played like he was not playing an instrument but rather as if the sax was an direct extention of his soul.

	Stan Getz, Bossa Nova and Brazil
		This album is very good, in the tradition of Getz and Gilberto's landmark albums of the '60s, but perhaps in a "softer" vein.
		In fact, the story goes that Getz had to push for the release of Getz/Gilberto since the company did not want to compete with its own hit; it was a good thing he did.
		Getz, with his lyricism, the bittersweet longing in his sound, and his restrained but strong swing, was the perfect fit.

		He attracted it early in his career with his recording of "Early Autumn" with the Woody Herman band in 1948, more or less sustained it during the Fifties (which were not always tranquil times for him), and then, in the early Sixties, expanded it as he helped introduce Brazilian bossa nova rhythms to jazz.
