What a timeless, transcendent quote by Getz during the piano solo: "I like to play beautiful and to make people happy. I like to counteract some of the bad things that are going on in the world, by giving people some kind of peace. That also gives me peace. So that's my special word for the way I like to play, is 'Beauty'."

hi bbg1, i would express many thanks to your father, the late Stan Getz, 'cause through him i had learned many important things about playing music. please keep on uploading ! i am very looking forward to seeing the next one!!
Thank you, Bev, for these wonderful posts. It's incredible how Stan Getz's music penetrates the soul and sounds fresh and modern. Judging by your small photo on the D.R. blog you are a spitting image of your charming father. Best from Russia.

BEAUTIFUL! Have favored Getz since a kid in the 60's
A voice so do not feel we are so good, but nobody has a voice so melodious that speaks to the heart because he played with the heart. My Big Stan!
Just that ability to capture the feeling of the song, Wow! What a gift. Getz and alto player, Paul Desmond, set the standard for this.
Wow as good as they are, that’s some bold statement considering the other masters of this great music...
I remember watching Jim McNeely's piano solo over and over when I first saw this 20 years back...
closest thing yer gonna get to Bill Evans
I have all this show in one of the oldest winery in California, and it is wonderful, as all Stan did.
Always the absolute best pianists with Getz
stan getz.... la voce del sax.......
Excellent.
He was the best!!!
Stan Getz also did a beautiful rendition of this with Diane Schuur.
E' stato un grande Stan. Ricordo l'emozione all'ascolto di "Focus"; per non parlare di "Getz/Gilberto".
Beautiful!!!
