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.
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.
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.
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.
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"
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.
Lovely cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim''s great song, "WAVE." Frank Sinatra sang it years ago. I saw Stan Getz perform, seems like a life-time ago, in a club in Sausalito - best jazz ever. WAVE lyrics: "So close your eyes, for that's a lovely way to be, aware of things your heart alone was meant to see, The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together; You can't deny, don't try to fight the rising sea, don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me, The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together; Br: When I saw you first the time was half past three, when your eyes met mine, it was eternity; By now we know the wave is on its way to be, just catch the wave, don't be afraid of loving me; The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together, together, together."
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I can't say who is the gratest, there is so many ekselent musicer. I just love jazz.
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
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.
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
I played piano, flute in an orchestra and sax in a band, but I didn't make the sax sound like Getz, a tremendous talent!
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
As John Coltrane once said: "We'd all sound that, if we could..." The tone is to die for. Fabulous!
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..
How could you not be inspired by this man if you played sax? The greatest...
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.

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.
Woav! I can't get this melody out from my head! Just perfect with Stan Getz. I love it!
I can listen to this for hours.
Hello Phyllis, How are you doing?
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.
No one was better. Such tone, technique and style. Please be there with a group when I die.
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.
best saxophonist ever!!! Ilove him!!
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.
Getz is the best saxophonist in the world!!
It seems that every jazz musician performs Desafinado, Corcovado, and/or Wave at some point.
Great sax sound, thank you Stan
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.
Musicality maximus. Getz's riffs are always fresh, endlessly inventive, yet distinctively his. Flawless taste.
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!

Le SON...Incroyable !
Son surnom était: Monsieur SON...
Très justifé ce SON unique...
Merci !

Getz always knew how to get the best out a tune. This is a fine version of Wave.
fantastic performance!!! the best of Stan!!!
Ist es so marvellous, I Love it at all!

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.
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.
Thanks. Years I've not heard these beauties
Hello Maria, How are you doing?
I can't stop listening to this !!!
Hello Gayle, How are you doing?
Stan, we sorely miss you. You were truly a master.
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.

Wondeful and legendary saxofonist just the grant Stan Getz forever !!!!!!!!
I love!
Hello Sandra, How are you doing?
Le meilleur son du saxophoniste jamais egalé.
Loved the Bossa Nova for decades since I first heard it. Stan Getz so smooth
This be the Man........with the sax.....like no other Thanks for this great post.
Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Mr. Stan Getz, the best sax player of all time, you are just amazing!!!!!!!!
He is one of great Teacher For Me! He Play Europian kind of Jazz! Like Bach's Philosfy!

@@LtAld0Raine He's quoted in this fine article:

@@LtAld0Raine yes.
The Best Wave solo in the history!!! This is about The Beauty!
Sebastian di Girolamo totally agree!
That straight-ahead look while he's absolutely slaying. Awesome.
Smooth as silk and fresh like the sea breeze in a hot day.
merveilleux.. c'est tout.. j'adore
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.

Heh-heh.
Stan has always been and will remain my greatest sax performer.
Yesss ! Stan ❤️
Beautiful
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.
Genius at work .
Love this song, thank you.
Clapping forever Stan Getz !!!!!!!
Grande saxofonista... great saxophonist...
Ditto, influenced to buy a tenor sax, loved the soft smooth sound!
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.
They have a jazz concert at Stan Getz former estate on November 19th with Kenny Baron; it's called Shadowbrook in Tarrytown ny
To think this guy was high all this time and still played this way, blows my mind.
STAN GETZ... LE MEIULLER INTÉRPRÈTE DE LA BOSSA-NOVA...!!! QUELLE FIERTÉ POUR NOUS...!!!
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.
Extraordinaire fantastique .quel musicien! !
Stan Getz is fantastic
Just a genius to play another one (Antonio CarlosJobim) we miss you Stan.....
He does his show and just walk away
That's how I remember him too
I like this almost as much as his classic work with Gilberto on their signature album Getz/Gilberto (1963).
Rich soft cool deep sexy sultry unique precise clean smooth and sublime..there's nothing like a saxophone a la Stsn Getz...
The melody have their own king, Stan Getz
Unbelievable sax man. Great !!!!!!!!!!!
He is playing one of top favorites !!!!!
Wonderful interpretation of Jobim's Wave xx
Ruth Jacobs Ditto.
Unique Thank You
Getz, Nordic, Bossa Nova,……It's the trinity!
man o man!! may very well be his best performance on the web at present. Its remarkable!!
Great!! Simply...great!!
It s beautiful
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.
Just beautiful.
From here straight to my favorites!
Listen to this fine performance and you'll understand why Stan was called, "The Sound"!
Wonderful tone¡¡
!!!!!!!!!
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.
