Stan Getz

Stanley Getz (February 2, 1927 – June 6, 1991) was an American jazz saxophone player. Getz was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, his prime influence being the wispy, mellow timbre of his idol, Lester Young. Coming to prominence in the late 1940s with Woody Herman's big band, Getz is described by critic Scott Yanow as "one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists". Getz went on to perform in bebop, cool jazz and third stream, but is perhaps best known for popularizing bossa nova, as in the worldwide hit single "The Girl from Ipanema" (1964). more »

Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window looking on the mountains and the sea, how lovely

Um cantinho, um violao, Este amor, uma cançao, Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama  
Muita calma pra pensar, E ter tempo pra sonhar  
Da janela, ve-se o Corcovado, O Redentor, que lindo  

Quero a vida sempre assim, Com voce perto de mim, Até o apagar da velha cha-  ma  
E eu que era triste, Descrente desse mundo  
Ao encontrar você eu conheci             
O que é a felicidade, meu amor
