The Stan Getz entry in Universal Musics discount-priced best-of series 20th
Century Masters: The Millennium Collection is a pop fans look at a jazz artist.
Drawing upon the Verve Records catalog, the selection leans heavily on Getzs
popular bossa nova records of the early 60s, particularly the number one Jazz
Samba LP and the number two Getz/Gilberto, including the hit singles The Girl
from Ipanema and Desafinado, which are placed up front in the sequencing. Manha
de Carnaval (known to pop fans as A Day in the Life of a Fool for Carl Sigmans
English-language lyric) and the 1967 version of O Grande Amor also come from
albums that made the pop charts, Big Band Bossa Nova and Sweet Rain,
respectively. That covers the first half of the disc, and on the second half,
the songs are mostly familiar standards. Early Autumn is a remake from the 1960
album Cool Velvet, not the version Getz played with Woody Herman. Getz appears
unaware of the downcast lyrics to Burt Bacharach and Hal Davids A House Is Not a
Home, giving the tune a jaunty arrangement. Thats in contrast to his treatment
of Jimmy Webbs Didnt We, which brings out all the melancholy Webb put in his
words. It seems safe to say that a Getz fan, given the assignment of picking an
hours worth of the saxophonists music, would not choose all of these tracks, but
some of them definitely would make the cut, and the music offers variety,
offering Getz Brazilian, big band, and even string backings, over which he plays
with his usual assurance
