Stan Getz at the 1984 Newport Jazz Fest.

Once again Stan proves that less can indeed be more...

[MissMoonlight1994]

ich dacht immer man soll seine backen nicht aufblasen xD

[gregoryusa1]

Does the bass player resemble the actor Gary Oldman or what!?

Great tune and recording considering it's a live date.

[BBG1]

Actually, he wasn't ill at all during this time. His illness began in 1987 and he died of liver cancer in 1991. But he sure did love and always identify with this tune up to his last breath.

Stan probably had a pretty serious blood count at this point also; he eventually died of pancreatic cancer.

Incredibly deep and beautiful. Just this kind of "festivals" are so unsuitable for this kind of music. People going, walking, talking ... no concentration to the music ... very dissipated atmosphere

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Dressed abominably, but playing like God.

[bayfilly1]

Originally this tune was titled 'Blue Cloud' which I think is better.

[Nonettegetz]

Well, Strayhorn was at the hospital when he wrote this. And he was dying... I can 'read' in Getz's version how Strayhorn was overpowered by a feeling of impotence, of hopelessness and melancholy in his farewell, which, I think, was what he intended to communicate.... And he did, brilliantly!

wow

[yumajuma]

John Campbell on piano.
