Before Young, tenor sax players seemed awash in testosterone. Their sound was full, rich, deep, blown hard out of the instrument's lower registers, with emotion pouring out in lavish swoops and honks. Then along came Lester.
In the post-war 1940s, he invented a new way to play the tenor sax: softly, effortlessly, with no wasted notes, and above all, without drama. There was emotion, of course, but it was kept under wraps. Cool, in other words. And this approach didn't end with Lester. He became the musical role model for Getz and a generation of tenor sax players who aspired to coolness. Getz had a long and remarkably successful career, stretching from the very early 1950s to 1991, the year he died.
After honing his skills with the and bands, it didn't take long for him to achieve fame as a tenor sax phenomenon. Getz's warm, pure tone, and the lightness of his touch, set him apart early. And with the remarkable sales of his Grammy-winning bossa nova albums, he achieved a level of commercial success seldom experienced by jazz musicians. Stan Getz was a restless artist.
His music changed and changed and changed again over the years, until, near the end of his life, he came nearly full circle. Eliot described this kind of personal journey in his 'Four Quartets': 'We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.'
He could have been describing the arc of Getz's career. Getz's early recordings, largely from the 1950s, are lyrical, beautifully simple. They're mainly improvisations on jazz standards, in which he concentrates on melody, on weaving countless variants on familiar themes. There's a lightness, a gentleness, even in the up-tempo numbers. The rhythm section is supportive but discrete, never intrusive. In the early 1960's, Getz became a leading light in the bossa nova movement, a blending of American jazz with Brazilian rhythms and sensibilities. His bossa nova albums were immensely popular 'crossover' hits (huge sales, two gold discs, four Grammys), but that doesn't detract from the artistic value of these recordings.

Getz seems truly inspired by these Brazilian composers and musicians, and they bring out in him an open display of passion that's antithetical to 'cool.' Depending on where your own passions lie, you may find the best of the bossa nova albums among the best of Getz's career. In the post-bossa nova period, Getz's playing took on a somewhat harder edgeno longer unrelievedly mellow, with less reliance on melodic improvisation, more on pyrotechnical display. He tried other jazz genres, including jazz-rock fusion, and played with like-minded musicians who encouraged his experimentation.
This seems to have been a restless period for Getz. After two decades of recording and performing, was he worried about being considered a dinosaur of the cool jazz era? In an effort to stay current, was he incorporating the aggressive musical approach of and other newly popular tenor sax players? Whatever might have driven him to the avant-garde, Getz eventually returned to playing straight-ahead jazz, with straight-ahead rhythm sections.
