American jazz saxophonistStan Getz was born Stanley Gayetski on February 2, 1927, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; his father was from England and his mother was born in Philadelphia. His paternal grandparents Harris and Beckie Gayetski were originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, but had emigrated to escape the anti-Jewish pogroms to Whitechapel, in the East End of London.     
 
 
 
 
The 10' vinyl LP, Just Jazz, Vol. 13, was recorded at the Civic Auditorium, Pasadena, CA, on June 23, 1947. It captured some great sounds from Red Norvo and Willie Smith both on vibraphonesOscar Moore on guitar and Louis Bellson on drums.        
      
Body and Soul, written by Johnny Green, is a wonderful strip song! I used it for some of the girls I worked with on Broadway (link below). It starts of with a languid piano into then is joined by the Gets saxophone which evolved into the most wonderful flutters and vibrations that accent the erotic body movements performed.
