소개

스탠 게츠(Stan Getz, 원명 은 스탠리 게이츠키 이며 나중에 스탠리 게츠 로 개명, 1927년 2월 2일 ~ 1991년 6월 6일)는 미국의 재즈 색소폰 연주가 겸 영화배우이다.

Stan Getz was an American jazz saxophonist. Playing primarily the tenor saxophone, Getz 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. 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 also helped popularize bossa nova in the United States with the hit 1964 single "The Girl from Ipanema".
