Stan Getz: Birthday Feb. 2,1927. He is forever linked with Bossa Nova however for me he is memorable for the work he did with Abby Lincoln on the album
"You Gotta Pay The Band".

I agree, that could be one of Stan's finest sessions. The same could be said of Hank Jones on piano, and Abby too. Everyone was on top and in synch. Magnificent. Just listen to "Bird Alone". And I bought every Stan Gets album I ever saw.
