The sound, the sound. Coltrane once remarked that "we would all sound and play like Getz if we could." One of the greatest musicians in the history of music improvisation.
I agree. He has really been my favorite tenor player. - Tenor sax was also my instrument during 1968 - 1970 here in Finland and I listened him already before I began my playing. A great musician, indeed.
So enjoyed Stan at Keystone Korner in late '70s with the great unheralded late pianist Albert Dailey! Listen and watch Stan closely here: th-cam.com/video/y5GiOE1an9g/w-d-xo.html (Soul Eyes- begins at twenty min. eighteen secs.)
What a great performance! Jim McNeely on piano, Marc Johnson on bass and Victor Lewis doing a great job of keeping a complex bossa nova beat! I saw Stan live at the Chicago Jazz Fest on Charlie Parker's birthday in 1981, along with Walt Bishop and others who'd played with Bird. Billy Taylor MC'd the event over the NPR network. What a thrilling evening that was!!

Stan Getz would play for an audience of one. You can see the joy and gift of his playing style. What a virtuoso musician, the gold standard of tenor sax players. I get teary eyed listening to this master at work!
Back in the seventies, I would go to see Stan in the NYC clubs every chance I got. One late weeknight I walked into the Halfnote and I was the only customer there. I got a drink and sat down. Stan played two more tunes and left. So, yes. He did play for an audience of one. Me! And I do get the teary eyed thing. I miss him to this day.
Every time I saw Stan he and I connected. It started when I first met him when I was 13. He was playing at the Downbeat Jazz Festival at Soldier's Field Chicago and I had taken a bus from Miami to see him. After that he and I spoke some 25 or 30 times at his concerts. He picked up our conversations where they left off. He was definitely my musical idol and helped shape my playing and style. The last time we spoke was in a back alley in Montreal. My wife and I came around the corner and I said Hey Stan. He laughed and said "that's sure no Canadian accent." It was worse than the loss of a pet when I heard he had died. So glad his music never will.
I was fortunate to see Stan Getz in person several times. There are no words to describe his amazing talent. OK, I'll try------every time I saw him play, I wanted to give up playing the sax and take up the guitar!!! LOL!!!
I had the fortune to see him only once (in Amsterdam), but I would not have missed it for a million. Stan is undoubtedly one of the very best saxophone players of all time.
Stan was a personal friend and is sorely missed. His approach and influence are not question end, no to mention the masterful technique. He had total, instant recall of anything he ever heard. He was a consummate master of music and did not have to resort to gimmicks. Don't put him down, thank him. There's room for us all.
Lorenzo, were you at his final Carnegie Hall appearance? I was. Not a dry eye in the house. He knew he was dying, and so did the audience. His battery pack ran out of juice, so he asked for a single blue spotlight, grabbed a stool, moved it to stage left, rear, and excused his quarter, sending them off-stage. He then began to play 'People TIme'; slow, deliberate, but loose. Not a dry eye in the house. Greatest live musical thing I've ever witnessed. RIP, Stan, and thanks for the music of my life of 69 years. Some have had more exciting phrasing. None have had 'better' phrasing. Some have had beautiful tone; none have had the tonal beauty of Stan Getz.
@@rickchalek6101 I love reading all these comments written by people who saw him live and /or knew him personally. I bought an album of his when I was studying music at Ithaca college Fell in love then!
My coming of age coincided with the Verve disks I played so much you could hear both sides at once! The Stan Getz sound is recognizable a million miles away. Still brings tears of awe, love, nostalgia.
My Granddad played me this recently. He's 82 but persevered with learning how to use an iPad and TH-cam so that he could get his jazz on. The effort was worth it just for me to see this madman on the bass.
As an old master told me about a great drummer once: “He’s just SIttin’ in there!” Meaning: he’s there at all time-and not going anywhere. A great compliment I thought!
I like many others way back when as a pro jazz sax man many years ago studied The Prez Bird Rollins Getz Dexter zoot Griffin Stitt,Turrentine etc and then Trane and the different harmonical approach to find myself. It's about individualism. Like all art you either like it or you don't , and that judgement in part can be influenced and changed by education. So every time you play it the story should be different if your doing it right and then it's down to the listener to experience it which will be unique to them. Just like playing a musical instrument people listen to it in different ways.
Yes, Marc Johnson on Bass..was Bill Evans last Bass player... married incredible Elaine Elias, performed with her killer Brazilian group, and I heard he'd passed away... not sure...
Marc Johnson .... a terrific bassist ...... Jim McNeely ... top pianist .... Victor Lewis .... excellent ... all from USA ... Stan will go down as one of the greats ......... He was a special musician - even as a high school kid from the Bronx
+James Starchuk Yes .... Marc also played with many of the greats ,,,, he is married to Elaine Elias ,,, a wonderful jazz pianist and singer from South America ....
I have a number of Elaine's CD's, and they are very fine. She's been at it quite a while, but somewhere around 8 -9 years ago or so..her CD's became classics.
Simply magnificent footage and wonderful sound. We get to see a true jazz immortal at the top of his game, for my money, the greatest ever. I get chills just watching this. Thanks so very, very, very much for posting this.
@@Butterking99 One of the greats but nowhere near the best tenor ever. One of the best Lester Young disciples is the best description, because that is what he was!
So many of the best saxophone players had such perfect technique and ideal embouchures for the sound they wished to share, that you feel “even if you took the sax out of their mouths the sound would still come forth” - a quote from Humphrey Lyttelton the great British trumpet star. Take for example ,Johnny Hodges, Benny Carter and Paul Desmond , Gerry Mulligan , Charlie Parker and others
So nice to start my late day with some jazz! I wish all the names were listed. Amazing band and Stan's beautiful airy tone give his sound the humanity and soulfulness that reaches deep into our hearts.
Aug 3 1987 -- Hollywood Bowl -- I went to see Grover Washington, who opened the show, but I was awed by Stan Getz. Getz's rendition of Strayhorn's Blood Count, especially, stood out and was truly amazing. Thank you so much for posting this 1983 concert
Do you. The guy is not what he used to be. His performance in this concert is just a collection of the same pattern and plain scales repeted all along his impros. Beautiful sense of the bit and wonderful sound, but we need ideas in jazz!
claudio bosco Try to play one song, just one, at the same what you call "his (Getz) not used to be" level. Every note is a hit, even if you do not like the smoothness. It LOOKS smooth, because he plays at such a high level.
claudio bosco Actually despite what I said above to a certain degree he seems to have somewhat exhausted his genius and replays past ideas - still a cut above all the others.
Umm, the TV camera's semi-digital, as all TV was from it's inception: digitised up-and-down (into 525 lines was the old NTSC standard), analogue left-to-right. And Marc's bass sounds great but I hear an on-instrument pickup rather than a mic on a low stand, so not 100% acoustic.
I've played tenor sax for just over a year (I was introduced by my jazz band director, I've played clarinet for 6 years) and I don't have a very jazzy sounds, more classical. Stan is one of those people that definetly has a softer sound than most jazz musicians.
Tracklist - Disc 1: Over The Edge, From The Heart, Answer Without Question, Sippin' At Bells, Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most, Tempus Fugit. Disc 2: Lush Life, Desafinado, Girl From Ipanema, Alone Together, It's You Or No-one, In Your Own Sweet Way, Blood Count, Medley: Desafinado & Girl From Ipanema.
Stan what a sound ,rythmic with Jimmy Mc Neely a master of the Piano,Mark J. and Victor L one of my favorite Drummers weganyitch have swing ,taste,.elegant...make the drums sing....
@Greg Daugherty Yes, it could well have been summer of '82... I remember how great it was to work with him and working on mixing eh album... But obviously was a long time ago and memory fades.
What I like about Getz is what I like about most of jazz masters: they kept updating their tunes! The selection of the tunes here is very modal and vibe oriented stuff. I bet the pianist wrote half of them..Thank you for the post!
What a gorgeous sound Getz had...plus his choice of beautiful songs...and he always surrounded himself with top tier musicians. He is missed. Their was only one as is the case with masters of their craft. Thanks for posting this concert which looked like a beautiful northern california evening!
The trio behind Stan superb .i wish Jim were more sparse on his beautiful ballad,Answer. I don’t mean this in a negative way but his piece is so lovely ,the melody could be conveyed more.for many of us this is new listening repertoire .marc maintains a nice groove .victor is exceptional as a group player ,soloist . He throws so little attention to himself
Great performance. Circa 1988 at the Robert Mondavi winery Napa Valley jazz festival. Stan died in 1991. Would be nice to know the name of this up tempo tune,. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stan Getz, a leader of countless small groups for almost 40 years, is seen here heading a since-disbanded but most impressive group, with pianist Jim McNeely as a central figure and composer of the first four pieces: A rhythm tune, a waltz, a ballad and a blues number. The always-warm sound and subtle phrasing of Getz's tenor sax can be impressive with any backing, but here, with McNeely's well-tailored themes and the strong support of Victor Lewis on drums and Marc Johnson on bass, he is in exceptionally elegant form.
He was the first I loved in 1964 . He's so great ! Among other great sax artists I love : Johnny Hodges , Ike Quebec , Dexter Gordan , 'Trane , Ben Webster , Cannonball , and so many more ...
One thing Claudio needs to know is that even the best jazz musicians are not always inspired and have to rely on cliches or in Sonny rollins case just play the melody and hope that some great idea's surface. "From what i heard about Sonny" This is just a part of jazz and a part of being human.
Amei,ESTE CARA E'D++++++++AS MUSICAS LINDAS E A GENTE TEM A IMPRESSAO DE VOLTAR NO TPO!A FLIRA PURIM SENSACIONAL !QUE VOZ GOSTOSA!!!!!??MUITO BOM REPERTORIO!!!!!!!MI.
I think You should always focus on the positive. To answer the question that is so often asked why are not more folk playing like Getz in todays world? Answer Each true artist plays like themselves and plays for themselves FIRST the audience is an added bonus. Someone who simply clones style to please an audience is a session player and not true creative artist. Yes many of us can emulate Getz's Style but if you don't get off on it yourself there is no point doing it simply to please the listener. That is not a jazz musician. The problem is the rank and file don't get it. As I mentioned in my other comments below listening is on many different levels. If you have the experience you can find blips in any body of work but that isn't the point. Simply sit back and Enjoy the work of the great Stan Getz
sorry, you're wrong: Bass player was the very young Marc Johnson, Victor Lewis on drums, Jim NcNeely on piano ... DVD is officially available as VINTAGE GETZ
I truly believe this is the most irrelevant conversation any body could ever have. Either listen and enjoy, or listen to something else. I happen to love it, and that is ALL that matters.
Thanks Stan Getz.
I directed this show in 1983. Stan was amazing to work with and we become friends. Surprised to find this but happy y'all are still able to enjoy!
whaaaa? this is the best video on youtube. no saxophone in history sounds this good.
The sound, the sound. Coltrane once remarked that "we would all sound and play like Getz if we could." One of the greatest musicians in the history of music improvisation.
I agree. He has really been my favorite tenor player. - Tenor sax was also my instrument during 1968 - 1970 here in Finland and I listened him already before I began my playing. A great musician, indeed.

Mind you I love them both
No more!!

I'm living a struggling period in my life in this crazy times. I listen to some Stan Getz and some Dexter Gordon and somehow I feel a little better...
Every time I saw Stan he and I connected. It started when I first met him when I was 13.

Ron Horton, that’s amazing! I bet you really treasure those meetings!
"It was worse than the loss of a pet when I heard he had died." - excuse me, many of Stan's close people may find this remark insulting

His skill should inspire not discourage.

Victor Lewis making it look easy. What a great player
As an old master told me about a great drummer once: “He’s just SIttin’ in there!” Meaning: he’s there at all time-and not going anywhere. A great compliment I thought!
Para mí uno de los más importantes conciertos q escuché de Stan Getz hermoso cuarteto con un Marc Johnson tremendo!!
And his opinion is deeply founded! Thanks so so much, Mr. Remus!!!

What tone on sax. Never saw ,or heard of the piano player, but excellent. Drummer,and bass player also excellent.Masters of their instruments.

great music at a great place... I used to take my children to watch Shakespeare at this winery..... thanks for posting
the best tenor player that ever was.
+Donald Grady - thanks to my sax teacher... and his... Bill Shiner.
Not even close
@@jibsmokestack1 lmao he is definitely close he’s one of the greats bro
@@Butterking99 One of the greats but nowhere near the best tenor ever. One of the best Lester Young disciples is the best description, because that is what he was!

thaks you for all the comments, Stan is magic!
not a microchip or anything digital in sight , just pure craft and acoustic instruments
Umm, the TV camera's semi-digital, as all TV was from it's inception: digitised up-and-down (into 525 lines was the old NTSC standard), analogue left-to-right. And Marc's bass sounds great but I hear an on-instrument pickup rather than a mic on a low stand, so not 100% acoustic.

A very natural, smooth player. Wow, Marc Johnson on bass!
Beautiful playing. Incredible bad. Nice combination
The word "vintage" refers to the wine vineyard where this concert was recorded, one of a series of jazz concerts originally called "Harvest Jazz".
Getz is an expressionist!
Bud Powell's horse-race of a tune, Tempus Fugit at 40:25. Great playing on a great (rarely heard) tune!
You're right, let's not forget hím.
Chet Baker also used to play this tune.
Stan what a sound ,rythmic with Jimmy Mc Neely a master of the Piano,Mark J. and Victor L one of my favorite Drummers weganyitch have swing ,taste,.elegant...make the drums sing....
this is my favoirte sound of stan getz. tenor sax.
I directed this in 1983 I believe. It was an inspiring experience. Good to see this show is still out there. D Sams
@Greg Daugherty Yes, it could well have been summer of '82... I remember how great it was to work with him and working on mixing eh album... But obviously was a long time ago and memory fades.
What I like about Getz is what I like about most of jazz masters: they kept updating their tunes! The selection of the tunes here is very modal and vibe oriented stuff. I bet the pianist wrote half of them..Thank you for the post!
It just got to show that we are always learning, again, and again. Dad was proud of Stan.
he is truly amazing
wonderful concert and brilliant sound... thank you for posting
Recorded at the Robert Mondavi Winery, Napa Valley, California 1983
Стен Гетц - легенда джаза!
What a gorgeous sound Getz had...plus his choice of beautiful songs...and he always surrounded himself with top tier musicians. He is missed. Their was only one as is the case with masters of their craft. Thanks for posting this concert which looked like a beautiful northern california evening!
Excelente concierto,una caricia al oido y al corazon¡
Great line up...!!! Master piece musician and muzik. Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.
The trio behind Stan superb .i wish Jim were more sparse on his beautiful ballad,Answer. I don’t mean this in a negative way but his piece is so lovely ,the melody could be conveyed more.for many of us this is new listening repertoire .marc maintains a nice groove .victor is exceptional as a group player ,soloist . He throws so little attention to himself
All great!!!..non forget..Jung Marc Johanson on dooble bass ! Marvellous!!!
Jim NcNeely is one of the greatest jazz pianists or what?
NcNeely tiene gran tecnica !!! pero Kenny Barron tiene mas felling !! escuchalo
HECTOR PINEDA Yes, I know Kenny Barron. He is indeed a great piano player.
I agree
yes, he is, where is he?
This guy is awsome!
Great performance. Circa 1988 at the Robert Mondavi winery Napa Valley jazz festival. Stan died in 1991. Would be nice to know the name of this up tempo tune,.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stan Getz, a leader of countless small groups for almost 40 years, is seen here heading a since-disbanded but most impressive group, with pianist Jim McNeely as a central figure and composer of the first four pieces: A rhythm tune, a waltz, a ballad and a blues number.
The always-warm sound and subtle phrasing of Getz's tenor sax can be impressive with any backing, but here, with McNeely's well-tailored themes and the strong support of Victor Lewis on drums and Marc Johnson on bass, he is in exceptionally elegant form.
A great version of a classic!
Thank you!
Consummate professional - left us with some great jazz
Amazing getz!
The greatest saxophonist of all time, final, it's not even open for debate as far as I'm concerned. Love him, miss him. God bless you Stan.
He was the first I loved in 1964 . He's so great ! Among other great sax artists I love : Johnny Hodges , Ike Quebec , Dexter Gordan , 'Trane , Ben Webster , Cannonball , and so many more ...
signature playing.
What an amazing performance!
Dave, all form USA: Victor Lewis, dr - Marc Johnson, bs - Jim McNeely , p
All fine musicians.
One thing Claudio needs to know is that even the best jazz musicians are not always inspired and have to rely on cliches or in Sonny rollins case just play the melody and hope that some great idea's surface. "From what i heard about Sonny" This is just a part of jazz and a part of being human.
Juste merci pour le partage, excellent! !!!!!!!
ESPETACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Show and performance from unforgetable musicians and a excellent recording. Where and when was it made?

Simply sit back and Enjoy the work of the great Stan Getz
Thanks...
Tone from Heaven.
John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzergald, Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis would be a good start. Welcome aboard!
Tony Bennet , Johnny Hartman , Sarah Vaughn ( and so many others )
This is a very intense performance!
Yes, by the piano man... Getz just repeat the same pattern and plain scales among a few original ideas all along his impros... boring!
Don’t be ridiculous…
claudio bosco you must be deaf or at best hard of hearing...do you understand bossa nova or not?.....!!!
I love.👍👍👍👍👍👍
prelijepo nice

sorry, you're wrong: Bass player was the very young Marc Johnson, Victor Lewis on drums, Jim NcNeely on piano ... DVD is officially available as VINTAGE GETZ
even miles davis liked this guy's music
I truly believe this is the most irrelevant conversation any body could ever have. Either listen and enjoy, or listen to something else.
I happen to love it, and that is ALL that matters.
impresionante el contrabajista!
oretty sure this is illegal somewhere, that devil jazz... PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN!!!
Just love the sound, my hero
1988? Getz would have been 61 here then he said father would have been 69 today? Stan was born 1927!
In my opinion he meant 96......
1983 is when we shot this
inmejorable hermoso
I'm fairly new to jazz but Stan got me into jazz still got lots to learn. Any suggestions
being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble. simba
très beau cadeau
Any idea when this was taped? Thanks for posting.
We shot this I think in the early summer of 1983
That bass player needs to be locked. Come to think of it, they all do!
superbe
