	Stan (Stanley) Getz
	1927 - 1991 Jazz musician; born in Philadelphia. He was a tenor saxophonist whose cool, lyrical beauty established him as one of the most celebrated stylists in modern jazz. He was a sideman with Jack Teagarden and Benny Goodman before his emergence with the Woody Herman Orchestra in 1947-49. He led his own small groups from 1951 until his death. In the 1960s, he helped to popularize the bossa nova jazz style. © 2001 Gale Group. All rights reserved. Joining Jack Teagarden's big band at the age of 16, tenor saxophonist Stan Getz went on to forge a solo career marked by innovation, consistency, and even a few hits. While Getz was known in the jazz community as a player with a rounded, "cool" sound, he is best known for his bossa nova period of the early and mid 1960s, which included the hit "Girl from Ipanema." His career also featured noteworthy collaborations with the likes of Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and Chet Baker. © 2000 Amazon. All rights reserved.
