Live at the Munich Philharmonie Hall, Germany 1990 (11 months before his death) Personel: Stan Getz (tenor saxophone) Kenny Barron (piano) Alex Blake (bass) Terri Lyne Carrington (drums)
This has always been my favourite Kenny Barron solo, however it’s his comping which is perhaps the most impressive component of this performance. His harmonic taste is unreal and that touch is ridiculous...oh, and its also swings like hell
This is music of the highest, highest art and it you truly like jazz, well, this video is the best expression of that medium in its full flowering glory. Sublime. Getz is my musical hero without debate!.
Stans tone, Kenny’s unreal lines and comping, Terris swing, and Alex’s drive come together to make this one of the best live jazz concerts available on RU-vid. It’s AMAZING!!🙏
This is jazz. The melodicism the rthymic subtlety,the harmonic definition .....groove magnificent. The bass player was playing the instrument in certainly a different way in his solo as in physically which worked wonderfully and the lady drummer was exemplary. A definitive recital.
Si alguien encarnó a la perfección y calidad tecnico- sonora ese fue el maestro Stan Getz. ¡¡Dios lo tenga en su gloria!!. Nos dio mucho a los amantes del Jazz. Gracias por compartirlo.
Excelente versión de Slow Boat To China. El "solo" de piano del "maestro" KENNY BARRON, es MARAVILLOSO. Una obra maestra de creatividad e inspiración. Cinco estrellas.
Great take, I used to listen to the bird version. His interpretation was so natural, it became natural for me too to just give in to these changes.Love this tune and Stan's hearty reminiscence.
todos son increíbles, el sonido de stan getz está muy logrado, el contrabajo impecable, sublime. Se aprende más escuchándole a él que cien horas estudiando en libros
Just Splendid ! .This Is What It’s All About !. I Despair That A Lot Of Young People “Will Never Be Put In The Way Of Wonderful Music Like This, Or Indeed Ever Hear It “. Masterly. Dear Stan . PS !. The more I listen to this track, the more perfect I think it is !. Absolutely Marvellous !.
you will never be forgotten stan. Simply the best. your music will go on forever with such great solo,s . Thanks you tube for letting the music of these great musicians carry on even after death.
since i could play my first note stn has beenmygo to player ,, not coltrane not parker not brecker ,,, this is class no acrobatics just pure geniuse simple and precise
I doesnt get better than this. You can add your fusion licks, your weird phrases, your unfitting scales, your out of time times but guys like Getz, Harry Allen, Scott Hamilton, Pete Christlieb, Ricky Woodard will win all the time for me. And the drummer! Those two breaks at the end chase: Yess!! Thank you, Ms. Carrington! Mr. Blake too, Mr. Barron too, thank you, thank you! Thanks for the video.
"weird phrases and unfitting scales", you dont know what you are talking about clearly. This is great but more modern stuff is just as good if you just enjoy it for what it is
Guess you'd be amazed if you knew how and why the "unfitting scales" do fit despite people are claiming the opposite. It's for a er big part a matter of the ears ability to listen deeply eneough and the brains ability to comprehend it and find ways through theory that still make the choises of notes appropriate. I do know quite a lot of jazz musicians who are not able to play fusion cause it's to complicated for their ears and brains. Like asking me to play for Argentina instead of Messi. Ms. Carrington is pretty much overrated. Take that from a drummer (have been playing and teaching for more than 40 years).
I always liked this old chestnut of a song from the '20s (?) '30s (?). My Mom used to sing the first few words, joking around, and I heard comedians do the same thing on TV shows in the '60s. Maybe that's why I always liked it. Stan Getz is a personal favorite of mine. Him, Kenny Barron and the band do an excellent, swinging version of this wonderful song. Thanks for posting!
I think you're right Steve and my Mom who had a beautiful voice,sang this to me from day 1.lol...She would put the old 78's on too.Spike Jones would have us laughing in no time.The 1960 recording was next "The Bells are Ringing" .Judy Holliday reprised her Broadway starring role in the 1960 film of the same name, also starring Dean Martin.That's when I left.
No platitudes are dumped here. Alex, the bass player plays a perfect bassline without any wrong notes, which is super easy to improvise over. Terri Lyne grooves and corresponds with the soloists Stan and Kenny, who move freely in their solos, constantly inventing new melodies and swinging devilishly. This is true (free) jazz: As a Greek philosopher once said: "Art is freedom in form".
Wonderful song. That reminds me, Gentlemen, of that story when Don Byas returned from the Grugalatte area in Germany and told Stan the Man about how they call their Schäferdoggies there: "Komm Getz Her!" Some folks report Stan never talked to Don again. But that's certainly not true. After all, Don was a fellow giant.
It's one of my favourite Jazz standard songs that I learned to play on the saxophone. Thanks for uploading this video. Stan Getz, Kenny Barron, Alex Blake, and Terri Lyn Carrington are fantastic. 8:26 Did Stan Getz get lost count in 4 verse exchange or something and want to finish the song? He looked upset.
I've listened/watched to that part countless times now and the only thing I can think of is that Ms Carrington slightly lifting the high hat on the second beat of the bar rather than the fourth seems to piss him off a bit. Sounds fine to me but maybe they'd agreed the final head was too be played very straight.....other than that; I've no idea.
Yeah I think you're right, it sounds to me like she's bored so was adding some extra syncopations and he turns to her going "what're you playing at?" and she goes back to playing straight.
Zac Taylor Schindler should never correct one of your musicians in front of audience or other musicians. I know Stan was strict though. That’s what made him so great at this beautiful thing we call professional jazz music.
