The following excerpt is from David Gelly’s Stan Getz: Nobody Else But Me [2002].

Based in England, David was for many years the Jazz critic for The Observer and also wrote for and presented on the topic of Jazz for BBC radio.

He maintains a parallel career as a tenor saxophonist.

This research is part of a broader project involving Stan Getz’s time in California in the 1950s as reflected in the fact that the music on the following LP can also be found in a 3 CD collection put out by Verve entitled Stan Getz - East of the Sun: The West Coast Sessions [314 531 935-2].
