Nobody sounds like Stan Getz. And nobody plays a love song the way he did. Warm, tender, and sensuous, the sound of Stan Getz is the sound of love.

Here are eleven of the most beautiful love songs ever written, all made even more beautiful thanks to the unique Getz treatment. The supporting cast is stellar -- Dizzy Gillespie, Abbey Lincoln, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and many others -- but it is Getz's unmistakable saxophone that makes these performances truly unforgettable.

Stan Getz (tenor saxophone) with Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet); Bob Brookmeyer (valve trombone); Kenny Barron, Oscar Peterson (piano); Antonio Carlos Jobim (piano, arranger); Luiz Bonfá, Kenny Burrell, Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis (guitar); Ray Brown, Charlie Haden, Leroy Vinnegar (bass); Roy Haynes, Shelly Manne, Max Roach (drums); Abbey Lincoln (vocal); Lalo Schifrin (arranger, conductor); and others.
