Stan Getz is, without a doubt, amongst my favorite jazz musicians of all time. I first encountered his work, naturally enough, through his bossa nova collaborations, but that quickly led me to his cool jazz work and boy oh boy, did I learn I absolutely love cool jazz. A brilliant performer from a young age, he was plagued all his life by addiction. Despite this persistent millstone, the man's tallent was damn near limitless. Here's the man performing "Windows" with the Stan Getz Quartet at Montreaux back in 1972.
