Mate as we say in Oz these lessons are getting better each week. Just love the way you simplify the chords and music theory used which as you say can be quite confusing especially to an old newbie like me. .Much as I listen to Chad LB and all these other super talented current day saxophonists most of what they play is that far removed from any melody it bores one to keep listening. Stan the Man as I like to call him regardless of the fact that he can play fast is still the most melodic .
Actually just listened to the live performance with Stan then I had the the same Autumn Leaves come up on You Tube played by Chet Baker and Paul Desmond. If any thing is better then Desmond on Alto in my 86 years I ain't ever heard it.
Paul, just watch your análisis all the way through in one go. Amazing. Your enthusiastic explanation of what Stan Getz is doing here is riveting. We (M&M Jazz) open our set with this classic standard and I play the tune straight before the vocals come in on the second chorus. I am going to look at putting some of these Stan Getzisms into my rather straight forward opening.
Thank you very much for the lesson! It has been very informative and clear, I'm actually a trumpet player but I really like the way you teach, I can't wait to learn more and apply these ideas in my solos. Have a nice day, ciao from Rome :)
Brilliant Paul! Very clear explanation and you made it very approachable to try out some of the ideas. I’d definitely like to see more of this kind of lesson format please.
Hi Paul, I loved this lesson, thank you! I wonder if Stan would have been surprised to find people diligently studying his every note like this. Do you think he just "felt" his way into this improvisation, or would he have thought it through more analytically? Maybe that's too hard a question to answer in a TH-cam comment. Thank you for the excellent teaching, either way.
I’m sure it is mainly felt, but it’s because he knows the tune and it’s harmony so we’ll he can play it in a more intuitive and melodic way. It can be a great source of inspiration and practice to go through tunes like this and then try to incorporate these melodic, rhythmic and harmonic ideas in our own playing.

Thanks Martin! Yeah Getz is a true genius of melody!

Hi Paul to me Jose I was wondering if you can make a diagram on how to hit the high F on tenor saxophone thank you
Sure, I have a fingering chart in the shed section on my site here: www.onlinesaxacademy.com/resources

@@OnlineSaxAcademy thank you again
wow thanks, subbed!
Great! Thanks Ruben
Great, congrat
Thanks Paul!
Great lesson. But one fun fact: Getz knew next to no music theory, making his playing all the more genius.
Yes, amazing isn’t it!
🎉🎉🎉
This song was playing when Daniel Larson was kicked out of the taxi! Hahaha
It’s just what Stan would have wanted
Stan Getz never played the Sax, he just breathed thru it.
Haha
