{"title":"Stan Getz","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eStanley Gayetski, born in Philadelphia in 1927, became one of jazz's most celebrated tenor saxophonists, nicknamed \"The Sound\" for his warm, lyrical tone that drew from Lester Young's wispy, mellow timbre. Starting professionally at 15 with Jack Teagarden's orchestra, Getz's breakthrough came in 1947 with Woody Herman's Second Herd as one of the \"Four Brothers\" saxophone section, his ethereally beautiful solo on \"Early Autumn\" (1948) establishing him as cool jazz's defining voice. Through the 1950s, he epitomised West Coast cool alongside Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker, offering sun-kissed sophistication as an alternative to hard bop's urban intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 1960s brought Getz's second wave of fame when he introduced bossa nova to American audiences. \u003cem\u003eJazz Samba\u003c\/em\u003e (1962) with guitarist Charlie Byrd, featuring \"Desafinado\", sold over one million copies and won the Grammy for Best Jazz Performance. The landmark \u003cem\u003eGetz\/Gilberto\u003c\/em\u003e (1963), recorded with João Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, and Antonio Carlos Jobim, yielded the massive hit \"The Girl from Ipanema\" and won four Grammys including Album of the Year, edging out the Beatles. Though linked with bossa nova, Getz rarely returned to the form after the mid-1960s, instead exploring fusion with Chick Corea and maintaining his own quartets featuring Gary Burton's vibraphone. Inducted into the DownBeat Jazz Hall of Fame in 1986, he taught at Stanford before his death in 1991.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"stan-getz-joao-gilberto-getz-gilberto-1977-japanese-verve-gatefold-lp","title":"Stan Getz \u0026 João Gilberto - Getz\/Gilberto (1977 Japanese Verve Gatefold LP)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinyl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: EX\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSleeve\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: VG+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObi:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur grading system explained \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dpbg4u-d1.myshopify.com\/pages\/secondhand-grading-guide\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ehere\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto is of the actual item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStan Getz \u0026amp; João Gilberto Featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim - \u003cem\u003eGetz\/Gilberto\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVinyl LP - 1977 Japanese Verve Immortal Jazz Series Gatefold Reissue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe album that brought bossa nova to international audiences and became one of jazz's biggest commercial successes, \u003cem\u003eGetz\/Gilberto\u003c\/em\u003e unites American tenor saxophonist Stan Getz with Brazilian guitarist\/vocalist João Gilberto and composer\/pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim. Recorded in March 1963 and produced by Creed Taylor, the album features the original version of \"The Girl From Ipanema\" with vocals by Astrud Gilberto (João's wife at the time), plus seven other classics of the bossa nova repertoire.

Getz's saxophone solos float effortlessly over the gentle bossa nova rhythms, his tone perfectly suited to the music's relaxed yet emotionally rich aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe album won four Grammy Awards including Album of the Year, making it one of the few jazz albums to achieve such mainstream recognition while maintaining artistic integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verve Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43141881135163,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3203\/3339\/files\/IMG_5759_880e6092-0727-4417-a669-20076ff1a3e5.jpg?v=1768824264"}],"url":"https:\/\/lushliferecords.com.au\/collections\/stan-getz.oembed","provider":"Lush Life Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
