The creator of the unforgettable "Girl from Ipanema" tenor sax tone, Stan Getz, the son of Ukrainian immigrants, took his unique sound through five decades of swing, cool, bossa, and beyond. Covering Getz's teenage gigs with Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, and Stan Kenton, fame with Woody Herman, years as a masterful bandleader, and struggles with drugs and the law, this biography tells the bittersweet story of one of the most beloved jazz musicians. The book focuses on Getz's musical legacy, exploring the lightness of touch, lyricism, and warm glow that mark his sound. It also gives insight into his skills as a consummate improviser, capable of playing with a musical, tonal, and emotional range matched by few other musicians. 100 color and black-and-white photos are included in this in-depth look at the brilliant and varied musical achievements of Stan Getz.

Stan Getz (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780879307295) Gelly, Dave Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: BACKBEAT BOOKS, United States, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 234 x 190 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Stan Getz's mellifluous sound on the tenor saxophone made him a famous and much-loved performer. His musical career ranged from big bands and small combos to the Bossa Nova era and popular acclaim for "The Girl from Ipanema." He is still highly respected and widely listened to today, sustaining a level of popularity on par with the greatest artists of jazz. The steadfast purity of Getz's music was often at odds with his unstable personal life. A drug arrest, car crash, and generally wild lifestyle belied the easy-listening appeal of his music. This biography offers a chronological study of Getz's recordings, performances, and musical experimentation. Expertly written and beautifully illustrated, it offers an insightful appreciation of Getz, his music, and his life.
