Stan Getz
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist
Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz grew up in the Bronx and as a teenager already played in big bands. He took the light, soft tone of Lester Young as his model. In 1947 he joined the saxophone section of Woody Herman, the 'Four Brothers'; with his ballad solo in Early Autumn (1948) he became known. His sound was called 'The Sound'. In 1961 he recorded Focus, with strings by Eddie Sauter. A year later followed Jazz Samba with the guitarist Charlie Byrd, with which bossa nova broke through in America. Getz/Gilberto, with João and Astrud Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, became one of the best-selling jazz albums. Getz struggled with addiction, but kept playing until his death.
