“Ballads captivate me. It’s not the text, not the tempo – I like the romantic elements. And that’s where I let myself into the mood,” said the saxophonist and composer Stan Getz. He was born on February 2, 1927 in Philadelphia and died on June 6, 1991 in Los Angeles. At the beginning of the sixties he enjoyed great success with guitarists like Joao Gilberto and Charlie Byrd with bossa nova and samba. But what happened in the decade before, after Stan Getz, as one of the “Four Brothers” in Woody Herman’s “Second Herd”, had heard his unmistakable, inimitably smoothly flowing tone around 1949 and has since developed it further?

Active in the USA on the West and East Coast and also in Europe, he often changed line-ups as a band leader – a number of highlights emerged. “I don’t see myself as an artist. Making music is work, work that requires a lot of concentration,” said “The Sound” Stan Getz once. Marianne Therstappen Round Midnight presents the fruits of this work beyond popular bossa nova music.
