So I've given you partly no indication of the sort of questions that I'm going to ask you, or, for that matter, the type of music that I'm going to play for you.

    That’s quite a start!

    Stan Getz recorded over albums during his lifetime. As a result, the endeavour of choosing ten stand-out performances has been no mean feat. We hope that the following recordings act as a jumping-off point for anyone seeking to widen t
