Although it shouldn't be mistaken for a definitive compilation of his bossa nova recordings, Jazz 'Round Midnight: Bossa Nova is a good sampler of Stan Getz's most popular work, featuring 13 tracks including "Desafinado," "Bahia," "Ebony Samba," "It Might As Well Be Spring," "Sambalero" and "The Girl from Ipanema." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz possessed a full, luxuriant tone and a highly melodic improvisational sense. Though he produced consistently rewarding music for the duration of his near 50-year career, he achieved the greatest success in the early '60s when he led the American part of the bossa nova explosion. Indeed, this brilliant fusion of jazz and Brazilian rhythms yielded the tune, "The Girl From Ipanema," which became one of the biggest selling jazz records in history.
