In this research we deal with the aspects of the language of jazz improvisation, presented on the construction of Stan Getz's (1927-1991) solos in Bossa Nova. Our main purpose was to investigate and discuss some of the characteristics of his language inside the bossa nova movement, we realized that although it has a growing number of materials regarding to improvisation and the bossa nova movement separately, in the current scene on music research, we have identified a gap referring to the relationship between the two. At first we proceed on a bibliography study involving the history of bossa nova, Getz's biography and some books which deals with essential concepts of jazz and improvisation. Subsequently, based on the study of the first phase, we started a analysis of some of the aspects presented on the Getz's solos in Desafinado, we tried to address those aspects mentioned before. In order to demonstrate, by analyzing the solos, aspects commonly used in the jazz improvisation which when incorporated with of the bossa nova elements could be converted into a improvisation language which someone could call “inside the bossa nova style”, we compared aspects such as arpeggios, patterns, scales, sequences, finalizations and chromaticism, all of them presented on the both versions of Desafinado we compared, the  Jazz Samba version and the Getz/Gilberto version. We conclude then that those aspects in the way that they were used by Getz in his solos, of the two explored versions, were accepted by bossa nova as well as for the improvisation in its style, however they had to join with some of other elements like rhythm, harmonic and melody from the bossa nova, and also the fact that the musicians in one of the two versions were musicians with great experience with jazz and a few experience with Brazilian music instead of the other version which had musicians with great experience with Brazilian music and a few experience with jazz, so this turned into considerable differences between the two versions.
