He is the greatest! His tone is perfect sax. I saw him live in 1973 when I was a young college freshman; sax/flute major. It was a small club (Frog and Nightgown, Raleigh) and I was 4 feet away in the front table. It was one of the most memorable evenings of my life.
Roger, he is the only Reason I EVER wanted to play Sax..I'm a lifelong Drummer, since 1963, but I would give it away in a Heartbeat, to be 1/10 of Stan Getz....
Saw him playing at Grande Halle in Paris some time before his death. He still had that distinctive saxo touch of his, masterfully playing his bossanova hits to an enthralled audience. Unforgettable.
After hearing Stan Getz, I decided tot change from soprano to tenor. I was 16 at that moment. Since about 35 years I play mostly alto, but still listening much to Getz with his genius melody lines
I have been listening to Getz since 1962's Desafinado, and have yet to hear him sound anything other than exquisite. This is a great artist's concept of a wonderful tune.
@@lauramariemllermadsen4643 My favorite all time album of Stan's is "Focus". He was handed a score only and told to play what he wanted-fantastic artist. wow.
Stan has a tone like no other. Coltrane said all sax players would love to sound like Stan. Too bad he struggled with heroin and alcohol most of his life. He was a genius.
i shuffled by but didn't have the cash for the cover and 2 drink minimum it could have been, like, a total bummer, dude, but it sounded pretty good outside the bum rushes were a little annoying :)
Época em que a música brasileira atingiu o auge da sua sofisticação. Obrigado a Tom Jobim e Vinícius de Moraes, meus compositores preferidos. Obrigado Stan Getz e Sinatra por terem levado essa riqueza para os EUA.
A unique majesty, a compelling musicality, and a stunningly beautiful contrarianism were all melded together by this descendant of an ancient people....and his timing - musically as well as historically, gave us all yet another towering figure in this great American music.
He dominates the state with his golden tones and incredible melodic inventions. That's the way horn player should be. He had completely absorbed bossa nova until that then. And quality is always guaranteed.
After listening to Stan Getz play Jobim in the 1960's I could no longer listen to the Beatles and pop music. It was no going back for me, I had graduated.
I mean Jobim was pop music.... Latin pop, but pop nonetheless. Jazz has always had a heavy interaction with what's popular, from tin pan alley, to shuffle, jazz funk, jazz hip hop, etc. You can like all the music you want to like lmao
@@wenting2457 The Beatles were a European rejection to the jazz branch of popular music, an industry that struggled in the UK by then. Jobim himself said that he used to listen to early rock music in his youth but was surprised by cool jazz. It felt musically richer as it had more diversity (harmony and rhythm). He even mentioned that when the Getz/Gilberto recording won the Grammy (instead of the Beatles) in 1965 he believed that jazz could eventually become truly mainstream, since a jazz recording never had won a Grammy prior to that. Little did he know.
The Beatles came when the United States was mourning JFK's killing. They were a lift. Yeah, they're not great but to give them short shrift is strange. My father was a very good jazz drummer, on par with Joe Morello (a good friend of his). He hated the Beatles because he lost a lot of work. But he played in a trio with a female pianist/singer in the late 60s. When he realized they were covering Beatles he asked her to point them out. Then my resurgence as a Beatles nut in the mid-70s forced him to hear them. But I was weaned on big band and Bebop and love the Beatles.
Oh yeah!! Sometimes I think I enter a state of ecstasy when I listen to Getz, especially when he's playing a ballad. He just creates such a beautiful sound.
Music should never be Either ... Or ... and who's best? is always a senseless question, never asked by musicians who listen to and learn from one another.
Obviously you have no idea what happens among musicians. Trust me that everything in Jazz after 1941 happened because male players like Hawkins, Gillespie, Parker, Konitz competed to establish who was the best. I never liked Getz, btw, although he did some amazing stuff in his later years.
@@ernsthergenbeck872 all them competed to establish who was the best druggs consumer! Sadly! And.. jazz? Is a genre created with songs from OTHER genres, and from other countrys.. is pure snob and later has degenerate more and more. Jazz without melody, can not be called "music"
Coltrane on Getz: "Let's face it--we'd all sound like that if we could." The King of Right Notes, yet again, achieves what Leonard Bernstein made reference to, in regard to the Music of Beethoven: "The Inevitability of Rightness." And, having slayed his audience, and his fellow players, he "waves" to all of them (sorry, I couldn't resist), and walks offstage. How cool? Miles Davis COOL.
Another fab performance from "Stan the Man". You never ever get short changed with Stan. Absolutely sublime performance with great support.Great upload, thanks for the opportunity to share.
Muchas gracias a Jobim y tambien a Stan Getz. Gente asi son los que nos alegran el corazon y alma. Thank you so much also to makpjazz57 for posting it.
Me too buddy, me too. Mr Getz was/is the finest saxophonist,ever! The sometimes elusive quest of perfection can take a lot out of a person. People shouldn't bring up someone's personal demons, which are too often part of the creative process,don't you agree? RIP.
Great Stan! He makes you feel as though you hear this tune for the first time. This video is also special for showing one of the very best pianists in jazz - Albert Dailey. As far as I know it´s the only one so far. Also rhythm team of George Mraz and Billy Hart deserves kudos.
Good for you! And, good for them in teaching you about those greats! I had a similar experience from my maternal grandfather, back in 1950. I was seven, he played the full William Tell Overture on his record player. I sat, listened (as I was supposed to do). Then, all of a sudden, I blurted out, "Grandpa! That's the Lone Ranger!" I've used that trick on others over the years who wanted to know why I love classical music so much!!! Heh-heh.
Stunning .. confirms his position at top of list of "cool" tenors. Early days with Woody Herman and the Herd (Getz, Simms, Giuffre, Shorty Rogers, and Buddy Rich certainly helped.
Stan was a genius. Period. No one like him, then or now.
Smith Dobson, agree with you 150 percent. I'm a friend of your sister Sasha. Thanks for commenting.
Dexter Gordon he couldn't touch
Live in Copenhagen in 1974, on Danish TV show with:
Stan Getz tenor sax
Albert Dailey piano
George Mraz bass
Billy Hart drums
Efrain Toro percussion

Tone is amazing, but he’s got a mouse down his bell. I can’t stand the chirping.
Incredible that he played 5 strength reeds sometimes!
I wish I was alive during that time. What a great era in music
He is the reason I became a saxophonist
Roger Salles It might have been a long & winding road……Salute from Japan.
Really? For me he was rather the reason why I nearly did not pick up the sax...
Excelente instrumento y gran músico.
Roger, he is the only Reason I EVER wanted to play Sax..I'm a lifelong Drummer, since 1963, but I would give it away in a Heartbeat, to be 1/10 of Stan Getz....
If you are only half as good as he was , then you are wonderful.
As John Coltrane once said: "We'd all sound that, if we could..." The tone is to die for. Fabulous!
What a tone! Stan playing a beautiful Jobin tune. I will never tire of listening to this man. Just brilliant.
His sound on the sax is so distinctive.... Love it
Saw him playing at Grande Halle in Paris some time before his death. He still had that distinctive saxo touch of his, masterfully playing his bossanova hits to an enthralled audience. Unforgettable.
After hearing Stan Getz, I decided tot change from soprano to tenor. I was 16 at that moment. Since about 35 years I play mostly alto, but still listening much to Getz with his genius melody lines
the most lyrical and exciting tenor player I've certainly ever heard; been loving his sound since 1962 - "Desafinado".
Maravilhando vida
melodic improvisation--consummate musicianship. Nothing can touch him, he made his horn sing. The best tone this side of heaven..
I have been listening to Getz since 1962's Desafinado, and have yet to hear him sound anything other than exquisite. This is a great artist's concept of a wonderful tune.
How could you not be inspired by this man if you played sax? The greatest...
I can listen to this for hours.
Hello Phyllis, How are you doing?
This was Stan Getz at his peak- superb improvisations and feeling.
+John Perks Hehe, go twenty years back and you could easily say the same ;) Stan The MAN!
@@lauramariemllermadsen4643 My favorite all time album of Stan's is "Focus". He was handed a score only and told to play what he wanted-fantastic artist. wow.
No one was better. Such tone, technique and style. Please be there with a group when I die.
best saxophonist ever!!! Ilove him!!
Woav! I can't get this melody out from my head! Just perfect with Stan Getz. I love it!
It seems that every jazz musician performs Desafinado, Corcovado, and/or Wave at some point.
Great sax sound, thank you Stan
Musicality maximus. Getz's riffs are always fresh, endlessly inventive, yet distinctively his. Flawless taste.
He is such a skilled musician and I'm sure he inspires a lot of other people. I think the music he creates is beautiful.
Le SON...Incroyable !
Son surnom était: Monsieur SON...
Très justifé ce SON unique...
Merci !
Renaud
Getz always knew how to get the best out a tune. This is a fine version of Wave.
This is Stan at his best! absolutely fabulous--so effortless and totally in control.
Stan has a tone like no other. Coltrane said all sax players would love to sound like Stan. Too bad he struggled with heroin and alcohol most of his life. He was a genius.
Oh Wow what a fantastic version next to Jobim. Thank you.
The under-appreciated Mr Albert Dailey on piano. Saw them together in Stan's quartet at Keystone Korner.
+hivicar yes the guy is top notch
+hivicar Yes, Albert Dailey also recorded with Freddie Hubbard on some of his classic recordings. So underrated, just like John Hicks.
i shuffled by but didn't have the cash for the cover and 2 drink minimum
it could have been, like, a total bummer, dude, but it sounded pretty good outside the bum rushes were a little annoying :)
hivicar thought that was Albert Daily!!! Billy Hart on drums
hivicar Always had the best pianists.

Great Great Sax I never get tired of him just marvelous ❤
This be the Man........with the sax.....like no other Thanks for this great post.
I cant imagine how hard this really is. Respect!
A unique majesty, a compelling musicality, and a stunningly beautiful contrarianism were all melded together by this descendant of an ancient people....and his timing - musically as well as historically, gave us all yet another towering figure in this great American music.
fantastic performance!!! the best of Stan!!!
Getz is the best saxophonist in the world!!
He dominates the state with his golden tones and incredible melodic inventions. That's the way horn player should be. He had completely absorbed bossa nova until that then. And quality is always guaranteed.
That's not a true tenor sax tone. It's altered somehow. Coltrane got the true tone to play behind the alto but should play more like Getz
In which way is it altered exactly?
Leonardo Paoletti I took the stage for the state……It was my fault , I excuse.😞
I was actually asking another user!
Leonardo Paoletti Sorry, I'm a Japanese and very , very poor English speaker. And I can't understand you.
Adieu.
There will never be one like Stan Getz!!!
Ist es so marvellous, I Love it at all!
Loved the Bossa Nova for decades since I first heard it. Stan Getz so smooth
Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Mr. Stan Getz, the best sax player of all time, you are just amazing!!!!!!!!

The Best Wave solo in the history!!! This is about The Beauty!
Sebastian di Girolamo totally agree!
Genius at work .
Thanks for posting! Love it!
This was Getz at his peak- superb improvisations and feeling.
the exquisite lilt he uses in his vibrato especially on phrase endings is like a drug I could never get enough of ...
Oh yeah!! Sometimes I think I enter a state of ecstasy when I listen to Getz, especially when he's playing a ballad. He just creates such a beautiful sound.
i don't have words to say.he is amazing.
Stan Getz lives !
Wondeful and legendary saxofonist just the grant Stan Getz forever !!!!!!!!
I can't stop listening to this !!!
Hello Gayle, How are you doing?
These 14 who voted this down simply dont understand that Stan Getz was the Number 1 tenorplayer.
He WAS the greatest without any doubt!
Bertil Selminger AAA
Another, different and equally great tenor player!

Oh wow.... Just watched this! Amazing ... I love every musician,and the pianists' Jobim chords
Another fab performance from "Stan the Man". You never ever get short changed with Stan. Absolutely sublime performance with great support.Great upload, thanks for the opportunity to share.
From here straight to my favorites!
Just beautiful.
Muchas gracias a Jobim y tambien a Stan Getz. Gente asi son los que nos alegran el corazon y alma. Thank you so much also to makpjazz57 for posting it.
This s Bossa nova , made in Rio de Janeiro Brasil , awesome music of Tom Jobim
Importada da Bahia
Stan has always been and will remain my greatest sax performer.
For sure best Saxaphone EVER !!
Stan, we sorely miss you. You were truly a master.
Absolutely brilliant
To think this guy was high all this time and still played this way, blows my mind.
Me too buddy, me too. Mr Getz was/is the finest saxophonist,ever! The sometimes elusive quest of perfection can take a lot out of a person. People shouldn't bring up someone's personal demons, which are too often part of the creative process,don't you agree? RIP.
I love!
Hello Sandra, How are you doing?
They have a jazz concert at Stan Getz former estate on November 19th with Kenny Baron; it's called Shadowbrook in Tarrytown ny
Ditto, influenced to buy a tenor sax, loved the soft smooth sound!
Great Stan! He makes you feel as though you hear this tune for the first time.
This video is also special for showing one of the very best pianists in jazz - Albert Dailey. As far as I know it´s the only one so far. Also rhythm team of George Mraz and Billy Hart deserves kudos.
Love this song...
Le meilleur son du saxophoniste jamais egalé.
Absolutely just...wow
Simply perfect. Wish I'd been there.
God, he was so smooth. Love it
Started to listen jazz at age of 3 - my father was jazz and pop saxo player...He told me about Stan Getz , Charles mingus and the others...
Good for you! And, good for them in teaching you about those greats! I had a similar experience from my maternal grandfather, back in 1950. I was seven, he played the full William Tell Overture on his record player.
I sat, listened (as I was supposed to do). Then, all of a sudden, I blurted out, "Grandpa! That's the Lone Ranger!" I've used that trick on others over the years who wanted to know why I love classical music so much!!!
Heh-heh.
Getz, Nordic, Bossa Nova,……It's the trinity!
Simply breathtaking. Stan's the man.
Beautiful
man o man!! may very well be his best performance on the web at present. Its remarkable!!
Yesss ! Stan ❤️
That was as smooth as it gets
Grande saxofonista... great saxophonist...
the greatest tone on any instrument in jazz
Clapping forever Stan Getz !!!!!!!
Lindo demais!!! Quisera poder ouvi-lo anos atras...
Extraordinaire fantastique .quel musicien! !
Great!! Simply...great!!
I like this almost as much as his classic work with Gilberto on their signature album Getz/Gilberto (1963).
Jobim's music is timeless!
How fresh it was too when it hit in the 60s. An incredible partnership for both of them, they had a great run.
QUe gran musico 👍 hermosa melodia UNICA gracias 🙏
Great tone and creative playing.
Smooth as silk and fresh like the sea breeze in a hot day.
Stunning .. confirms his position at top of list of "cool" tenors. Early days with Woody Herman and the Herd (Getz, Simms, Giuffre, Shorty Rogers, and Buddy Rich certainly helped.
spectacular performance by a spectacular musician - brilliant improvisation - one small quibble - the tempo - I prefer it more languid
This was probably an encore, so they played it up tempo to get out of dodge ... But I agree with you about the tempo in general.
I really love the way he plays the saxophone
Nice, thanks!
The melody have their own king, Stan Getz
