hey man, thanks for reply but I unfortunately did not make myself clear enough. I simply wanted to offer more of Stan's art and again I urge those who give a hoot to go find this lp/cd "Focus" and listen to it. The story behind the music recording alone is worth checking out. Man it was a nice surprise to find you are into Latino,, especially your loads of Cal Tjader,whose music stands alone among the "10's" as my favorite. Check out "The Contemporary Music of Mexico and Brazil" on Fantasy. GBWY
hi tobias, of course i am partial to Stan's music, sooo, Thank you for the love. i humbly urge you or anyone to find a recording of "Focus". recorded in July,Sept.and Oct. 1961and released by Verve. i hesitate to mention this, i believe it was chosen by Downbeat as the Jazz recording of that yr.,and nevertheless, an incredible musical venture, z.
Stan Getz ! nebody play like this today.The young lyons playing with the brain,Getz playied with brain,heart and specially very,very,very elegance and good taste.Can you find this qualitys on the Berklee lyons?
Such a great artist. He plays and defines the word 'jazz'. I heard some tracks recently of a gig he did at 'Tiffany's' in Hollywood that were of sublime beauty.

Masterful! He embedded his improvisations in the melody. A real crowd pleaser.

I'm a Coltrane follower BUT I love some Getz. Great technician on Tenor. I will learn Bossa Nova listening to him. Love this music clip!

Coltrane's version is better on the lush life album...
That makes me melt.

I think his most famous Composition is Take the A Train... but this is a close Second... and equally great.
