fenderbender Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 So all you cool swinging cats out there...dust off your Stan Getz lps, and Everybody ....do the Bossa Nova!!!!! kinda interesting..Stan Getz really was one of the driving forces behind bringing the Brazilian influence into main stream jazz during the Hard Bop era late 50's early 60'. I think the first hit song was Desficionades (sp?) anyway I likes it......Even though I'm kinda shaky on the details ....any input would be valued as I love to knows the whats, wheres and whys of things......

seti Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Cool...... I prefer the Mambo & AfroCuban myself. Latin music rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT FAN Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Getz and Gilberto is always in the rotation to be played during dinner. One of the most romantic jazz albums of all time. Tough to sing along in Portuguese though! I saw Stan Getz open for Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall during the Newport jazz festival, now THAT's a double bill.

picky Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yes, that is one of my favorite album covers and albums, too. I still own a copy in vinyl. There've been several cover interpretations of it over time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
