Focus (1961) more music like this

by Stan Getz

The Other Side of Stan Getz (2004) more music like this

by Stan Getz

A two-disc sampler (at over two hours in combined length, sampler might not be exactly the correct term) of Stan Getz's stay at Verve Records, The Other Side of Stan Getz is a wonderfully varied introduction to the heartbreaking and beautiful tone of this brilliant tenor sax player.
