Ah Mr Getz, my hero, music atlast, feels like an opiate to the senses after what I've been subjected to listen to, my ears had closed up like a flower during the night and now they are in full resplendent bloom. Love and miss this genius so much. Yes genius in the true sense of the word, not the genius that's handed around today for extreme banal and at best mediocre crap. Love you Mr Getz!.
Second tune, starting on 11:11 is Chuck Loeb's "Be There Then" BTW, I saw this band in Buenos Aires, September 1980, two months after this concert. Same repertoire and almost same musicians, excepting for Todd Coolman, who played bass instead Brian Bromberg. A wonderful concert.
Thanx so so much for this, this man the greatest saxophonist of all time, final, not even open to debate. If you want the truth then listen to this man and all the music spanning his career that you can lay your ears to, he's the most talented player in all situations from technicality, improvisation, fluency, swing and natural abiliy. God bless you for being there Stan, love you man!.
His statement was his own way of showing his personal belief, this isn’t a court of law in which to deny his viewpoint ! In addition he played well the soprano sax and baritone, on one recording he swapped roles playing baritone with Gerry Mulligan playing tenor sax and Coltrane stated that all sax players would wish to play like Stan, if they could ! Stan also started on the bassoon and used a double lip embouchure , perhaps that is another reason for his unique purity of sound and musical expression on all those instruments!
Wow..... This is a rare clip to me I wasn’t aware of this situation. It was a delightful surprise to see CHUCK LOEB (R.I.P. - miss his presence on the scene ...) in this earlier work.
I remember seeing this band a few times ,mostly in Europe( with victor Jones on drums) chuck Loeb was killing back then ..under the radar,but later on became a smooth jazz sensation and jingle writer
young Mitchel Forman on piano..wow..there he played the first concerts with his young buddy Chuck Loeb on guitar..thanks for uploading..saw Stan in 1980 as a boy but I cant remember the musicians.
"Bird" switched me onto taking up alto saxophone but I started out with the likes of Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young too! - Getz had the ability to adapt, whereas many saxophone players get left behind in the dust.
Dizzy was once asked, "All musicians are such super nice guys! Is it possible to be a great musician and not nice?" Dizzy leant forward and said, "Stan Getz"!
That's odd. Every time I saw Getz he was cordial to me. When I went to see Dizzy in Boston in 1967, he was the one that wasn't nice. Screamed at his drummer in front of the entire audience! Very embarrassing!
@@getzfan1258 Fantastic that you saw / heard him... and Dizzy! Actually a lot of musicians said that he was 'not nice'. My personal experience... I was sitting first row, dead center, and after 3 tunes some clutz called out "Desafinado". He could have ignored it at the least but no, he gave the guy a look that would have shrivelled Hulk Hogan and then said, "We don't do that anymore". I booed, a bunch of people joined in... he was just TOO BIG to be nasty. Maybe he was just stating a fact... I dunno, but it didn't come across that way! Exactly 40 years ago, I was 18 and I remember only that about his playing. I loved the musicians with him though, Chuck Loeb, Randy Kerber, Leon Gaer and a Victor something on drums. Didn't much care for the music though, a bit elevator... I think you were lucky or maybe very charming... ? 😉 Jazz Samba is Getz at his peak though! Deadly! He was a ghost of that Getz...
@@apusista I saw Getz at Rockefeller Center in the late 60's early 70's. I brought "Sweet Rain" with me to have him autograph but was afraid to approach him. My friend said "you want me to get it signed?" and I felt it wouldn't mean as much so I walked up to the stage with the album in my hand and he looked at me, took the album, signed it and gave it back. Again I disagree. There were many albums after Jazz Samba that were excellent.
@@apusista adding to the fact that he ripped off Astrud and João Gilberto from the deserved royalties for the recording of Girl from Ipanema for which he made millions while João got 23 k and Astrud 120 USD. He had already "cashed-out" the bossa nona when the clutz asked him for Desafinado.
Mr. Getz, in clips I’ve seen, looks like he’s a serious guy. I read Getz didn’t get along with Chet Baker. He had him taken off his tour in the ‘80s. And yet, in the clip on UA-cam, he said the promoter suggested Chet for the tour and he agreed. Eh. I don’t care where his head was. He played well and that’s what mattered.
Getz was a nasty piece of work who's music did not age like fine wine. He played in Bombay, India in this year 1980 with Chuck Loeb, Leon Gaer (bass guitar), Randy Kerber on keyboards and Victor something on drums. This kind of music. Something way out of his playing abilities.
That might be Victor Lewis on Drums. I taped a live concert off the radio in 1980 with the same lineup here and it's fabulous! It never came out on CD so I have a gem. Have you seen the live concert in Napa Valley, CA around 1989? It's very good!

So cool hearing Stan playing soprano saxophone here🤗
Actually his tenor saxophone sounded more like a soprano saxophone.
It's wonderful to find Brian Bromberg in this video 🙂

Jonathan carter I love Getz, but your “not even open to debate” comment is beyond the pale.
@@nohumbug8636 Anyone who says "not open to debate" is suspect.

He's a great player but I can argue for Coltrane, Parker, Roland-Kirk, Rollins, etc.

Yeah, me to buddy, what sheer class!

What a killer drummer Mike Hyman was and still is!
Thank you for this exceptional Voyage
👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for posting😂❤excellent
Thank you another gem.
Excellent viedeo, thanks so much, I only had the old VHS recvording of that in bad quality !!
young Mitchel Forman on piano..wow..there he played the first concerts with his young buddy Chuck Loeb on guitar..thanks for uploading..saw Stan in 1980 as a boy but I cant remember the musicians.
Im an alto player but why am I getting obsessed with stanz now?
"Bird" switched me onto taking up alto saxophone but I started out with the likes of Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young too! - Getz had the ability to adapt, whereas many saxophone players get left behind in the dust.
The sound!!! Me too
Thanks so much for this
FANTASTIC!!!!
@World of Jazz you forgot to mention "Lush Life" somewhere in 56:37.
Please add it.
Good Sound. His soprano tone like clarinet.
Does anyone know what the first song they performed is? I'd like to hear other people play it. Interesting melody. I don't think it is Sweetie Pie.

love it🌞
i buy my tenor sax one Saturday and then stan getz died Monday in the 1991.
Love it
Anyone know the title of the opener?
I would love to know the date of this performance ...
uUp there it says: 13-07-80
Hidden jems.
Personally I think the double bass got in the way in parts of this performance, especially on "Lester Left Town".
27:50 Wanna? Sorry I don't smoke!

@@getzfan1258 I may have mixed it up. It could have been a white, skinny on drims by name Dave Crigger? Does that ring a bell? Getz quintet 1980...
