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.

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)
