Stan Getz Quartet - Stan Getz Quartet

Getz/Gilberto is an album by American saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist João Gilberto, featuring pianist and composer Antônio Carlos Jobim (Tom Jobim), who also composed many of the tracks. Originally released in March 1964 on Verve Records.

The words "bossa nova" are often synonymous with the name Stan Getz. In 1961, Charlie Byrd returned from a tour of South America where bossa nova music was thriving. The style was the invention of singer Joao Gilberto and songwriter Antonio Carlos Jobim.

The only studio meeting between Stan Getz and Bill Evans took place over two days in 1964 but was not released until 1973. This classic double- header also features an all-star rhythm section of Ron Carter on bass and Elvin Jones on drums.
