Jazztodon artist of the week: Stan Getz! From Wikipedia: Playing primarily the tenor saxophone, #stangetz was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, with his prime influence being the wispy, mellow timbre of his idol, Lester Young. Getz came to prominence in the late 1940s with Woody Herman's big band as one of the original "four brothers." Influenced by João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, he helped popularize bossa nova with the 1964 single "The Girl from Ipanema".

#GreatAlbums1960s - #StanGetz & João Gilberto – Getz/ Gilberto (1964). Saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto added minimalist piano by Antonio Carlos Jobim and guest vocals by Astrud Gilberto on this LP, codifying the bossa nova style for all time. Grammy-winner “The Girl from Ipanema” and smooth stunner “Corcovado” defined 60s cool in a Mad Men universe. The craze caught on and even Sinatra caught the bossa-nova bug.

The recent death of Astrud Gilberto brought this story of how she was stitched up over her reward for her most famous recording, The Girl From Ipanema to my attention.
