Cool Velvet is a Stan Getz album released in 1960 by Verve Records, though sometimes incorrectly cited as 1959. It was produced by Norman Granz and recorded at Radio Recorders studios in Hollywood, California.
The album features Getz accompanied by a string and brass orchestra arranged and conducted by Johnny Mandel. The style moves away from bebop into a softer, orchestral sound characteristic of the cool jazz era.
The recording includes standards like Stella by Starlight and Brazilian polkas such as Baubles, Bangles and Beads. Although not one of Getz's most commercial albums, it is valued for its serene atmosphere and the quality of Mandel's arrangements.
