Stan Getz music, "The Sound", the epitome of Cool, and Romantic in the true sense fo the word. Introspective. Always Lyrical and effortless. As if the sax were connected directly to his heart. A warm Balm to a world of stress, anger and dissonance. Melancholy. More than anyone else, with the possible exception or Miles Davis (before '64), Stan IS the meaning of Cool.



Most of these ballads are taken from the eighties, the final decade of his forty year career.



As wonderful as this lyrical introduction is, Getz music is rapidly disappearing from the market, and all that's left are "best of's". I hope the reader will seek out the albums from which this music is taken, which are even more marvellous. Try "Anniversary", "Blue Skies", "My Old Flame", "Serenity" to hear these classic songs in their original context.



all is good, but songs suffered somewhat when removed from original faster and slower song context, like ripping a large gem stone from it's setting and surrounding jewels.



You'll love this, and much more is available!"
