Stan Getz (born Stanley Gayetski; February 2, 1927 – June 6, 1991) was an American jazz saxophonist. Playing primarily the tenor saxophone, Getz was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, his prime influence being the wispy, mellow timbre of his idol, Lester Young. Coming to prominence in the late 1940s with Woody Herman's big band, Getz is described by critic Scott Yanow as "one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists".Getz performed in bebop and cool jazz groups. Influenced by João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, he popularized bossa nova in America with the hit single "The Girl from Ipanema" (1964).

息の長いミュージシャンだと思います。50年代は"Stan Getz Plays"などの名盤を発表し、、60年代にはボサ・ノヴァに接近し"Getz/Gilberto"など素晴らしい作品を発表。その後もコンスタントに活動しています。

この作品は70年代後半の作品。ジャズ系の2枚組というのは珍しいですね。ちょっと前衛系に寄ってみたり、ラテンに寄ってみたり、オーソドックに決めてみたりと、なかなか多彩で意欲的な作品です。
