Stan Getz. His playing is lyrical, easy, comfortable, happy, solemn, and I never, ever tire listening to the two albums that I have of his: Jazz Samba and The Essential. Something that I enjoy when listening to instrumental jazz, is knowing the lyrics (if applicable). For example, some of my favorite songs are, "Of Thee I Sing" and "All The Things You Are." I love following all the changes and hearing how he (or anyone) plays it with their own interpretation...but isn't that one of the great attributes of jazz? Seriously, get one of these and put it on while you're up on a sunny morning, relaxing in the afternoon, entertaining, messing around in the kitchen, or on your stroll to work.
