Stan Getz was on a roll in the 1980's.  Each of these albums is worthy of mention --

duaniac,

Totally agree on the Getz -- but you missed another top-shelf disc from this time:

Recorded in '82 but not released until '95.

soulpope, Larry,

Interesting that you both chose Warne's A Ballad Album.  I've always preferred Star Highs. 

...But now you guys make me want to go back and re-listen to A Ballad Album.  Maybe I've been missing something!  ;)

Love them both, and would have picked both, but I thought "Star Highs" wasn't within the '80s time frame. I may have been mistaken on that.
