From the reverts re "Nino Tempo", I see that the elaborate put-on is still being bought. Someone should ask jazz critic Leonard Feather about this. 162.84.72.171 17:04, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jazz Samba album
Quote from the article:-
The title track "Jazz Samba" was an adaptation of Antonio Carlos Jobim's composition "So Danço Samba".
The problem here is that there is no title track on that album.
[edit] Rewrite?
This paragraph:
-
- Getz became involved with drugs and alcohol while a teenager. He also developed a pack-a-day cigarette habit. In 1954, he was arrested for trying to rob a pharmacy to get morphine. As he was being processed in the prison ward of Los Angeles City Hospital, his wife - Beverly Byrne, a former vocalist with the Gene Krupa band, whom he married on November 7, 1946 - gave birth to their third child one floor below; they divorced in 1956. Beverly was addicted to heroin, as was Stan, but eventually got clean. Getz married Swedish aristocrat Monica Silfverskiold on November 3, 1956, and they had one child. In 1957, a son was born to Inga Torgner. After years of trying to get him clean, Monica, who had gained custody of Stan and Beverly's children, left him; he divorced her in 1987. [1]
is very confusing. Who is Inga Torgner? And how does the sentence in which she appears relate to anything else? I can't fix it because I don't know, but I hope someone can do so. --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 19:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I am shocked and depressed to discover how dysfunctional the personal life of the man who gave us the definitive recordings of Desafinado and Girl from Ipanema was. Six children by 3 women, one conceived out of adultery. Poor Monica.132.181.160.42 (talk) 08:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Died June 6th 1991
The private life section says he died in 1998.
[edit] Recording list "clutter"
Does anyone else think it would be useful to have some annotation to the discography rather than just a basic list of albums? I made a start to this, noting other musicians on the gigs etc. and have had them reverted as "clutter". Istanbuljohnm 07:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
People just want to see a discography, not opinionated notes. That is the norm for discographies. The List should have title and year of release. Anything more than that is superflous and out of keeping with the encyclopedic content of Wikipedia. Paul210 07:29, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
OK I'm cutting out anything that can be described as opinion, but for now, leaving notes on musicians, location etc. Actually I still think it's valuable to highlight in some way the key works in the man's oeuvre, can we do this by bolding the titles of some albums? (e.g Getz/Gilberto, Jazz Samba). Nice talking to you Istanbuljohnm 09:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stage Name?
"Stan" is his stage name? Not just the commonly used shorter version of Stanley. Anything to make the article just a tad longer, eh. I suppose "Jon" is the stage name for Jonathan, and "Marc" is the stage name for Marcus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.82.33.135 (talk) 13:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
