STAN GETZ : The Last Recording 1990 Stan Gets, Tenor Sax Kenny Barron, Piano Eddie del Barrio, Synthesizer Frank Zottoli, Synthesizer Alex Blake, Base Terri Lyne, Carrington, drums
Well I've got to say that I remember seeing Stan Getz practicing with his band in his home in NY in this fantastic acoustically perfect round room in his house,. It was a front room on the left as you came in the front door. Being friends with his daughter but only 16, I didn't realize I was in the presence of greatness. I saw him frequently. We were not allowed in this room when he wasn't there, but of course we went in anyway and tested the sound in this beautiful room with whoops and clapping. The echo was amazing. The floor was beautiful wood and the room was light and airy with stained glass circling the top and then was elevated more in a dome.. The light it made was beautiful. Though we weren't into jazz as kids, I will never forget the way they sounded playing all together with Stan. I remember one night in particular standing in the hall and we were peeking in at them all playing and i can still hear this amazing sound. Just amazing This room seemed to be lifted off the ground when they were in there.. So full, so rich, I saw him at his very best. God bless him.
So many beautiful notes played- so many lovely dreams given by one so talented . One who gave to so many who adored him, as I did and so fortunate to have shared the moments - too brief but , oh, so warm. I miss you buddy . All I can do is thank you Stan; my friend. You are the only one I know that could make Palm Springs cool
I've listened to so many tenor players and I always come back to Getz. He's been a pattern player, a fast player, but he's always been creative. Getz makes me feel good: Trane is an exercise player, Getz is an artist.
James Blythe John Coltrane might be the single most influential tenor saxophonist of all time. I don't know what you mean by "exercise player", but he's THE artist when it comes to the horn. I'm not taking a crap on Stan Getz, the man was a genius. Also, this video is proof of how he eventually started seriously appealing to the easy listening crowd, just as Sonny Rollins eventually did.
+Jackson Burris............ "Easy listening" translates as taking a break from all that 'traned' down 'dizzy' cacophony. Gimme a break - literally! That's a sophisticated European audience BTW........the sound on this tape is pretty unprofessional I might add. We deserve more. I have the original soundtrack of this album from a public TV production - far better.
You have to admit Stan is the cool , late nite jazz SAX of choice. If I want o wind down with a malt & cjgar......Stan is the Man ......what a catalogue of music..... and maybe 2-4 albums I don't favour But so many I love .... West Coast Jazz .Cool
+Ten Player Great maybe we met one winter night in a smokey bar in Amsterdam Central pre 1969 when Chet & Stan played together ... THAT was coooooooooool as ! RIP Chet
Stan and Kenny getting together it's written by Kenny in his liner notes on double decker "People Time" recording. Worth noting what Charlie Haden wrote: Playing music with Stan Getz was like being instantly transformed to a level of depth and beauty.
Eddie del Barrio! ...Dad of my dance buddy Raymond! -- love to hear him play... This is such a smooth, solid band Getz has here...Terri Lynn Carrington, subtle & smart drumming...This is a wonderful listen!
getz can't res in peace. not when we are here to shake his box and say...play! and could he ever. what a soul and an echo that will reverbrate on forever. try to find it in the now. can't be done. he didn't have to try. it was like breathing for him. it just came out. only once and again mid 20th century.
que dire à propos de Stan Getz ? l'inspirateur du smooth jazz avec Chet Baker laisse de magnifiques performances musicales toujours uniques et... agréables, merci à l'artiste à ses musiciens et ses complices.
Il mio caro maestro mi parlava sempre di Stan Getz… del suo suono puro e della tecnica …oggi lo sto riscoprendo per me è fantastico ha creato uno stile poetico nelle forme chiare mi ispira molto
In case you're wondering about an impressive 3,5 hours gig -- this video shows twice the same concert in a row, the original duration is about 103 minutes ;-)...
Stan the man, so many tenor players in my jazz history but Stan is awesome, Stan Getz at the Shrine with Brookmeyer and West Coast Jazz with Conte Candoli and The Dolphin with Lou Levy on piano. I have all his important albums and I saw him in Tokyo, Japan in 1960s, then again in Toronto in the 80s.. never failed to impress me, his ballads during the cool school period and then his work with Diz Gillespie also Oscar Peterson, never would I sell those albums. When I was 16 his Autumn Leaves was constantly on my record player also Hymn to the Orient with talented guitarist Jimmy Raney. Stan is forever in my jazz music!!!
Then maybe you will appreciate (as I did) the biography 'Stan Getz - A Life in Jazz' by Donald L. Maggin. Published by William Morrow, NY 1996, ISBN 0-688-12315-5.
Yes thank you, I have the Maggin book... if you like tenor sax I can recommend Jazz Man (Ronnie Scott) by John Fordham also by his daughter Rebecca Scott : A Fine Kind of Madness, Ronnie Scott remembered... I just ordered the new book on drummer Stan Levey he played with Stan. And of course Shelley Manne at the Black Hawk the 5 volume CD with Richie Kamuca and trumpeter Joe Gordon. The Jazz Couriers with 2 tenors Ronnie and Tubby Hayes was an amazing English band to sound like an American Art Blakey group. I miss Stan Getz but I have his MUSIC on my Mirage M3 speakers wirelessly from computer to stereo via Apple Airport Express, Stan would be pleased with the new technology
Ich vermisse IHN sehr - war selbst in diesem Konzert - zum Finale richtete Stan Getz die Frage an die vor Ihm sitzenden:"...was wollen Sie noch hören....."? Darauf eine Dame aus ca.Reihe 10:"...Girl von Ipanema....." Stan winkte nur ab und spielte eine anderes,wunderschönes Stück. BIWI aus München
With only one lung left after cancer ! Shows therefore extent of his best blowing technique on saxophone . He started on the bassoon with both lip double embouchure
Stan Getz, the perfect symbiosis with his Selmer MK VI. Many tried but no sax player ever nailded his tone. Not to say there are no better technically skillded players. Personally I prefer tone and emotion above technique. Stan Getz is my go to easy listening saxophone player.
Beautiful live concert of my all time favorite tenorsax player. Can anyone give me more details of this concert? Titles of the songs, members of the band, where was it recorded? I cannot find it anywhere...........

I heard and met Stan in Chicago in 1991 when he played at a hotel on Chicago's Near North Side and I purchased his then new album "Green Dolphin Street".from him and we chatted about .our both being from California , he from San Francisco and I further down the Peninsula. That was about the third or fourth , and sadly the last time I saw him in person. How sad he did not live longer.
+OLEG IGNASHKIN That's because the video was starting over. Didn't you notice the credits? You saw and heard the full concert - uploading error caused the rest......
This was not his last recording! The true last one happened at Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen during March 6, 7, 8 & 9, 1991, three months before Stan died! Please, no more lies nor liars!!!
STAN GETZ, SOLAMENTE LA BELLAZA CON QUE TOCABA , LO HIZO UN VIRTUOSO DEL SAXOFON. ES UNA VERDADERA INSPIRACION. FUE UN SAXOFONISTA MARAVILLOSO, UNA VERDAERA LEYENDA DE LA MUSICA.
The sound on this tape is pretty unprofessional. We deserve more. I have the original soundtrack of this video from a public TV production - far better. Anybody here interested in 'splicing it in?' In fact - this video is ridiculous!! I'll upload my version soon - all sound intact.
