STAN GETZ "CAPTAIN MARVEL"-$26.99 +SHIPPING $5.00

Stan Getz (born Stanley Gayetski, February 2, 1927 – June 6, 1991) was an American jazz saxophonist. Playing primarily the tenor saxophone, Getz was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, with 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".^[1] Getz performed in bebop and cool jazz groups. Influenced by João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, he also helped popularize bossa nova in the United States with the hit 1964 single "The Girl from Ipanema".

Captain Marvel is a jazz album by saxophonist Stan Getz released in 1974 on the Columbia Records label.^[1] The album features performances by Getz with Chick Corea, who composed most of the material, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreira and Tony Williams. Shortly before recording this album Corea, Clarke and Moreira had formed the core of the group Return to Forever, and Captain Marvel shares the Latin jazz and jazz fusionsound that Corea was exploring in this era. Three pieces from this album, La Fiesta, Five Hundred Miles High and Captain Marvel, were already published on Chick Corea's previous solo record titled Return to Forever in 1972.
