  • 46 -“But Beautiful” and Stan Getz

    Standards Rating 7 -Difficulty Rating 6

    “But Beautiful,” composed by Jimmy Van Heusen with lyrics by Johnny Burke in 1947, is a classic ballad celebrated for its lyrical melody and complex harmonic progressions. The song’s 32-bar form in G major features rich ii-V movements and subtle key shifts that add a sense of harmonic intrigue. Notable recordings include renditions by Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, each capturing the song's emotional essence.

    Stan Getz, renowned for his warm, lyrical tenor saxophone tone, recorded a memorable version of “But Beautiful” with pianist Bill Evans in 1964. This recording, released in 1973, also features Ron Carter on bass and Elvin Jones on drums. Evans introduces the melody delicately, creating a serene atmosphere. Getz’s entrance is marked by his signature smooth sound, bringing emotional depth to the piece. His expressive solos, complemented by Evans’s harmonic sensitivity, beautifully balance grace and complexity, exemplifying Getz’s lasting impact on jazz.
