Stan Getz


 

Stanley Getz, better known as Stan Getz (February 2, 1927 - June 6, 1991) was an American jazz musician. He is considered one of the greatest tenor saxophone players of all time, and was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical, and instantly recognizable tone as displayed in his version of the song "The Girl from Ipanema". Getz's prime influence was the wispy, mellow tone of Lester Young, yet Getz continued to develop his approach to playing throughout his life. He said of himself in 1986: "I never consciously tried to conceive of what my sound should be..."
