Recorded between 1956 and 1963, these romantic recordings show the pianist Bill Evans at his most expressive, performing songs written by composers as varied as Miles Davis and Rodgers and Hart. He's accompanied on six tracks by his legendary trio, featuring the drummer Paul Motian and the bassist Scott LaFaro.

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.
