Stan Getz - First Song (For Ruth) 

Stan Getz の最も Stan Getz らしい曲の一つだと思います。このむせび泣く様な音を聴いているだけで涙が出てきそうになります・・・。

スタンゲッツが亡くなる数か月前のライヴですね。スタンゲッツも素晴らしいしケニーバロンも渋いです。本家チャーリーヘイデンのファーストソングよりこちらが心に残ります。間違いなく名演奏ですね。

This is one of the most beautiful soulful ballads that I have ever heard by Stan Getz. I had the good fortune of seeing him live in Albuquerque back in the 80s. Buy the 2 CD set on Verve - it is fantastic ! And such a fitting tribute to a great jazz artist who died only 3 months after this performance in Copenhagen.

People Time Is a Beautiful collection

ke despedida sublime la del gran maestro STAN..... gracias 2pierrot2

beatiful music and photographs, simply great piece. thanks (first love by getz and barron) kinya

Thank you so much. It is very beautifull music.

one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

close the eyes...and fly upon the music notes...thanks for these sensations...

rest in pease GOD bless his soul

buah qué pasada Stan Getz y su sonido, y su expresividad, sentimiento... buf!

very very nice blue song. Getz " the voice " of tenor sax, died after few months after this recording. Kenny Barron is another of the big

Stan Getz is my love! Paixão por ele! Wonderful music!! Charmosa...envolvente.... melancólica...(-_-) Mil estrelas, Maga-Lee :-))

I read somewhere that once Stan was diagnosed with cancer (liver and something else?) that he made an effort to make amends to those he felt he had done wrong or hurt. Having had a round of cancer myself, I know it does tend to get you to review your life. He always could play a beautiful melody, but this particular album IS special, perhaps for the reason you mention: that it was his goodbye to us. If anyone is new to Stan Getz, I highly recommend "People Time."

MAGNIFIQUE !!!!

Best Stan and Kenny

En mi criterio una de las mas bellas composiciones de este inmortal del Jazz

I found someone amazing once. Shared the deepest secrets of our souls as the moon turned crimson. She's gone now, never to return. Once my heart forgets her I will live again.

この音楽には余計な音や足りない音は一つもありません。心に染みる完璧な音楽です。この音楽を教えて頂いた酒田和夫さんに感謝です。

Although a trumpet player, I have always listened to tenor players more than anything else. Of them all, Stan was my man. To me, his music was about love and beauty. I listened to this album before reading the liner notes. I was totally blown away by the transcendence (good word, KindOfBlueMan) of his playing. After reading the liner notes, I realized that this was Stan's goodbye to all of us, was so thankful for the gift, and so happy that his last work was in many ways, possibly his best.

:) unforgettable

"I only lent you my body. You lent me your dream."

Stan's "voice" in that concert, and particularly in this beautiful song, is absolutely poignant. It sounds like a testament to me, as though Stan were telling us: "I'll be gone soon but here is my legacy to this world..." I've listened to it tens of times over the past 24 years and it still gives me chills all along.

Божественное исполнение замечательной композиции!!!!!!!!

No habia oido esta pieza que hasta me hace llorar; Stan debe estar en el cielo de los jazsistas con Charly Parker Y lois Amstrong descargando en un Jam sesion

Today in a rare moment of delight away from the my work, I delighted in the languor that this song laid in front of my ears. A tale of nostalgia that reaches the brink of desperation but still clings to life. Who best to express this emotion that seems hold the weight of the world such as an Atlas of emotions than Stan Getz. His life parallels the sadness emanating from this songs chords but more importantly reveals an hidden desire to live, to grow, to breath and to love. I am grateful for all these artists who have spent their lives in search their own musical language not knowing that unbeknownst to most of us, they truly aimed to give a name, a sound, chord and notes to emotions which often surreptitiously inhabit our souls.

REAL, SUBLIME, INFINITO...
