Stan Getz Performs Wave - Copenhagen 1970s

[MrWebbo14]

Nut shell  !!!

Oops,was stoned !

[MrWebbo14]

He's the jimmy page of jazz in a but shell !!!

[BennyMax37]

The great Getz was the first to launch the jazzsamba, with his sound and the staff as well as the classic vibrato tax, has used harsh Reed, one of his characters. The Best for me.

[oihebailfhqbefg]

Jobim's music is timeless!

[Nuckelavee20]

yo this cat is so fucked up in this vid

[lastknowngood0]

Stanley doing Jobim's Masterpiece one of my favorite tune's by my favorite Tenor Sax Artist in Wonderful Copenhagen! Dude it doesn't get much better than that! Kudos to those that make this possible to view. Thanks so very much

[TheMechas56]

Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Mr. Stan Getz, the best sax player of all time, you are just amazing!!!!!!!!

[MrAlaska67329]

he is obviously one of the greateswt tenor sax players to ever live, but he has a bad case of the squeaks in this performance

[papersky1]

gotta love the smoke on the water finally lol

[5t3r3054x]

@papersky1 Maybe you mean "half" smoke on the water, because they don't complete the whole chorus xD

[papersky1]

@5t3r3054x

aint copyright a bitch

[lino192]

kenny barron don't remembar

[Nonettegetz]

@tamerswan : It's not just you: Getz is absolutely sexy... :-)

[snortss]

buenisimo !!

[bshark88]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm c:

[MetalAndWood]

woo! danmark er med i noget sejt!

[iembunge]

UN MAESTRO!!

[gladdad101]

STAN THE MAN!!!!! (That's all I have to say about that)

[Fetucinee]

Should you wonder why Stan was dubbed "The Sound" listen...

[atks22]

does anyone know who the drummer is?

[armthealiens]

@atks22 looks like Billy Hart - heard him this summer, still plays fantastic

[BOPPPPER]

As John Coltrane once said: "We'd all sound that, if we could..." The tone is to die for. Fabulous!

[lvperalta]

Amen to this!

[BriansThing]

That was as smooth as it gets

[storybored]

Musicality maximus. Getz's riffs are always fresh, endlessly inventive, yet distinctively his. Flawless taste.

[urbangipsy]

I ADOOOORE THIS

No recordings of Him playing Wave though, anyone knows?

[diegoescolochog]

@urbangipsy

There is actually a recording.

I am not sure if the info is right but the file says:

Stan Getz and Antonio Carlos

Album: Their Greates Hits"

[georgetolake12]

Remarkable performance!

[spadge1able]

superb!!!!

[lilyleg]

One of the finest compositions by the 'Gershwin' of Sth America played by the finest Sax player ever. Beautiful.

[Rainbirdman1]

Best lesson from Stan Getz - make some space for the notes! Smooth as silk, whatever he plays. From Black Orpheus to now, no better music exists than Bossa Nova.

[GrimmReaper1912]

Sooo fantastic.. Nobody but Stan can cry so smooth on a sax!!!

[lilyleg]

Jobim's greatest compostion

[Vapor419]

JUST ORGASMICALLY CORRECT

[flatdaddio]

what a great artist, so lyrical, very cool...

[kir3txsbcglobalnet]

Stan Getz was the Betz! Man could he blow that horn...and didn't need no needle credentials neither.

[MrDannylow]

Al Dailey?

[vova47]

@MrDannylow Indeed!

[SAMARKINO]

Уже легенда --- человек-автомобиль !

[Claudiobenyossef]

MORAISITO in youtube, the best...

[gregoryusa1]

What a classic. That's about as boss a nova as it GetZ!

[saladin92]

It seems that every jazz musician performs Desafinado, Corcovado, and/or Wave at some point.

Great sax sound, thank you Stan

[60march]

He always had a very slightly squeaky reed. I mean what was the strength number? 10 or something. Beautiful sound though.

[mitchcapone]

I can understand when he said bossanova & when they started playing music

[danhughart]

Long time Getz drummer Billy Hart in this video. Excellent, as always. Can't say for sure who the other band members are, so I won't hazard any guesses.

Stan was and always will be my idol.

[vova47]

@danhughart Albert Dailey p. George Mraz b. and probably Efrain Toro perc,

Around 1974-75.

[bassbob42]

Really fine music. These were very good days for music.

[musicfanBRA]

....that is, unless the presenter was saying that Dave Brubeck came before. He also says "Braziliensk musik" and "Bossa Nova," but not Tom Jobim.

[musicfanBRA]

I dont understand Danish but for sure one can hear the presenter in the beginning saying "Dave Brubeck". But this lovely melody is by Brazilian composer Tom Jobim. João Gilberto sings it under its Portuguese title "Vou te contar". Cheers.

[questions613]

106-108 is a sweet loop

[KJG123456]

The best there was and the best there will be

[abraham4770]

he is the best saxophonist in the world

[soulfullyanointed]

@abraham4770 u mean WAS the best, right? (he passed in June 1991.) however, if were talking best of all time i disagree since--even though he had a very a pretty tone--i could never vote for someone as best ever who only used the upper register (and mid range) of the tenor. to me the best tenor men of all time are those who were great AND used the whole range of the horn--guys like Coleman Hawkins and Don Byas...but different strokes...

[starfly7]

@soulfullyanointed If you are talking about using the entire range of the tenor, nobody took it further than John Coltrane, although his direction in the final yrs were a bit way out for my taste, his music from 1955-1964 was, timeless, innovative, original (in presentation), my humble opinion................

[soulfullyanointed]

@starfly7 I disagree and think of JC as mostly an "upper register" tenor player as well--a style ushered in by Getz and JC in the 1960s that deviated from the "old school" sound of Hawk and Byas which favored the lower register of the horn. When I think of players of the '60s with a lower, more robust old school approach, names like Johnny Griffin, aka the "Little Giant," come to mind--or even Sonny Rollins who came out of the "Hawkins school" rather than the "Young school" as did Getz and JC.

[starfly7]

@soulfullyanointed Well, I respectlfully disagree, but thats what the world is about variety and tastes, but no question about it, they are all masters of their craft, hard acts to follow.

[abraham4770]

@soulfullyanointed you want teach me about music? hahahahahaahah dont make me laugh

[chrish12345]

that section at 1.08 is ruined in my opinion

[surfsunadam]

@chrish12345 no way man, deadly minor twist!

[vova47]

The spoken  introduction sounds like it could have been made by Jesper Thilo, fine saxophonist in his own right.

[DirectServeUSA]

None liike this Artist in the world, Stan Getz...in a 'Class Of His Own.." forever...

[gsoccer2004]

I never noticed how much mouthpiece Stan uses. Its like all in his mouth! :D But its worth it!

[pianist1]

oh wow Al Daley on piano? he is great!!!

[danailnenkov1]

GOod bud thi is not bossa nova..... dis is samba

[FCntertainr]

Stan plays Stan's way, he was an original! I read Wayne Shorter thought he was eloquent and heard him play 'Infant Eyes' on the Montreux Summit Vol. 1 and became a fan. Stan was great on Bossa Novas but after him playing the Shorter tune I bought 'Captain Marvel' with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Tony Williams. Rollins, Dexter, they all add to the language! In the 70's I loved Grover Washington but how about Joe Farrell ? Modern is modern , race has no place in jazz being original.- Fc

[DAGUY]

@FCntertainr

Have you heard him do I Want to be Happy with Oscar Peterson?

It's beyong great.

[FCntertainr]

@DAGUY Get Stan's 'People Time ' double CD with pianist Kenny Barron, It is a timeless live recording! I will check out the one you mentioned but I am a Getz fan and love his taste.- Fc

[JAPANJR7GPJ]

●Wonderful !!  Beautiful Sound from JAPAN

[guigowww]

Wave is one of the most representatives Brazilian songs. Pure bossa nova.

[vvsivakumar]

Rawego, i hope you were only kidding when you said i was racist and brought up Getz's Jewishness ( which of it is true i was not even aware of ) . I have posted a fairly detailed comment which i hope clarifies what i meant.

[Rawego]

@vvsivakumar you're too much man. relax, it's Jazz, it's all good :))

and yes, Stan is a son of Jewish immigrants from Kiev, Ukraine. look him up on wiki...

[Sanchothesaxplayer]

Just wonderful.

Stan Getz is still the tenor sax god.

All living sax players can go home.

[helluvagun]

@Sanchothesaxplayer

Nah, I think you're way off!!!

Sonny Rollins produced and still produces music way, way ahead of

what Getz could ever dream of! I couldn't agree more that Stan Getz had a lovely tone and kicked off beautifully on bebop,

but Rollins is a living legend - Listen to his xtremely soft playing on ballads

and his ingenious improvisational skill is unsurpassed!

Dexter Gordon was a true giant, but if you like tone there's Hank Mobley!

[gertlanghoff]

vvsivakumar

What a racist thing to say!

[vvsivakumar]

I understand my comment may sound racist when u read it but let me clarify i DID NOT mean it that way. I was just trying to convey that the Getz sound was not as appealing to me as the Dexter Gordon, Joe Henderson kind of `dry' sound . I am not comparing them of course but just meant to say that i had never given Getz a fair chance ( associating him with just Bossa Nova tinged music which was only a small part of what he played/recorded ) till i watched this video. Hope this clarifies.

[baldyal]

the greatest tone on any instrument in jazz

[vvsivakumar]

I know it's unfair but i have always under appreciated Getz and some others on the white men cant jump/play real jazz theory...but this... i liked

[markzillapage1]

@vvsivakumar well you've made the first step, just remember that JS Bach was thought the founder of walking jazz basslines and he was German! Soul is within us all the trick is letting it free in a world that judges too hastily and without true knowledge. Jazz, like Love is free!

[ChiefMI6]

great song, anybody know how i can get an mp3 of this?

[HCL991]

unmute recording feature for stereo mix in Windows or your sound card software. Then use a program like audacity (freeware just google) and record while you play this video. Then "master" this record a bit and export it as mp3 file. Thats it. Have fun!

[dinkypoys]

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.

[calico992]

No man! Thats why we should bring up the personal demons! Its how we bring them up that matters. Its like wine, the grape that is strained produces the sweetest wine. Stain strained with internecine (look it up) and turmoil and he produced this! bravo!

[eloisamaior]

Lindo demais!!! Quisera poder ouvi-lo anos atras...

[dcamilleri00]

***sigh*** wish I could play 1/2 as good as Stan ... RIP - You were taken too early!

[guigowww]

Wave is one of the most representatives Brazilian songs. Pure bossa nova.

[renantheking]

I wouldt say "wave" is THAT representative.

[johnbresnik]

one of the best tenor players of all time -- beautiful sound and technique...

[betterthancoltrane]

how i wish i would have been able to see him live.

[Mrtriumphchopper]

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.

[hecatombe19]

cmo qisiera ser una reencarnarcion...!! de hecho q levantaba flacas!

[iazh]

awesome.

the first 30 seconds of gibberish wasn't really necessary.

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Oh, but it was if only you knew Danish. I don't, but that's not the point. Getz chose Copenhagen as his residence for quite a few years, because he liked it so much.

[PirateXzibit]

No, to get a break from his drugabuse.

[shoegazer666]

your comment wasn't really necessary.

[escobarsfriend]

det sgu meget sjovt hvis man er dansk.

[chimexca]

Smooth as silk and fresh like the sea breeze in a hot day.

[pdondini]

immensa classe

[AlamoCityCello]

DRUMMER!!!!

[kirkbp1965]

Pure beauty!!

[splitsock]

he's really drugged.

lucky, it doesn't affect his playing.

[vova47]

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.

[Straker58]

Stan Getz era un sassofonista davvero geniale e di grandissimo talento; il lirismo dei suoi assoli sono materiale di studio Jazz.

Mitico!!!

[panzerschnott]

Always loved Stan's phrasing and smooth tone

[malilacreuse]

coltrane enviait sa sonorité inimitable

[Metaldario1993]

stan getz sei il mio eroe!!!!!

[Kirok]

Mine, too.

[flattley10]

Stan Getz is an underated legend of Jazz. It is chilling to hear him play this stuff all these years later and for it to be so fresh and timeless, like Getz and Jazz

[kalihahapo]

a fantastic jobim tune played by stan getz "the sound" and there is nothing else to add.

[musso4528]

Does it get any better than this?

[batane56]

fantastic performance!!! the best of Stan!!!
