...and no one likes watching Shelly Manne work? Rock solid! No breaks for the drummer, and he gets his solo at the end of the piece when he's already fatigued. He makes it look too easy! :)
I'll never forget meeting Dizzy at the Bar at Top of the Gate. The show was///are you ready, Dizzy and Miles down stairs of the Gate. My father knew Dizzy and called him over and he introduced my brother and I. My father didn't know Miles but called him over anyway because he knew Candy, the drummer. Where Diz was friendly and talkative Miles only said....hey what's happen'n....and walked away. During Miles' set he went sans horn reemerging with white stuff on his nose. Incredible show...
Freaking WOW!!!!! Technology is absolutely wonderful. I would have never been able to SEE these cats play back then(was much too young), but thanks for posting this. Big props Savelonp!
@GulliverNice I studied 10 years with Dizzy's Pianist and have played a ton of jazz festivals with musicians like Alvin Queen, Lonnie Smith, and more. My ears say Lewis blew it.
@crescentridge But? I think think Lewis' idea to lay back was the best thing to do. Look who he is palying with, obviously those 3 are going to bust out fast runs all over their solos. He had to tell you a different story, and he certainly did, with so many cool lines.
Have seen this concert in 1979 when staying for holidays with my parents in Nice. Same day there was a jam with Barney Bigard and Zoot Sims and last concert of the day a Lionel Hampton All Star Big Band with Illinois Jacquet, Arnett Cobb, Kai Winding, Joe Newman, Cat Anderson etc. Damn.... i am a lucky bastard :-)
It's great to see video of George Duvivier...he was such an awesome bass player...I remember when he used to come to my dad's bar in New York...what a great man he was.
this are the coolest cats in the business along with,miles davis,john coltrane,lee morgan,clifford brown,art blakey,max roach,benny golson,cannonball,lionel hampton,elvin jones,mccoy tyner......
That's why Getz is the master of the tenor saxophone. In my opinion, at least. He wasn't as influential or musically important as Hawk, Pres, or Trane, but he was the true master of the instrument, in all of its styles. He also did have a bit of influence in his ballad recordings, as well as his latin phase. He also never stopped evolving.
Getz is one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists. That gives him a huge musical importance! And I quote:
"Although Getz played attractive compositions tastefully with harmonic and melodic sophistication, the primary reason for his greatness and his popularity lies elsewhere, in his tone. It is uniquely his. Big and pure and rich and definite, it possesses such an intrinsic appeal, that master saxophonist and innovator John Coltrane proclaimed his envy of it ."
On December 1953 Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz recorded a double album known as "The Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz Sextet". Nowaday, Verve released it in one CD called "Diz and Getz". The rhythm section was the Oscar Peterson Trio (new guitarist Herb Ellis and Ray Brown on bass) and Max Roach on drums. The first tune is "It Don't Mean A Thing", in this high tempo. Some years later, Peterson told they didn't remember very well the other part of the session.
@rockrhapsody123 Are you kidding me? It's not a fluke that Getz was voted in Downbeat and Metronome as best tenor sax player for six years straight in the fiftties. Dizzy even said that he was the best melodic bop player of all time.
@rockrhapsody123 are you kidding me? Stan Getz was one of the all time bebop masters, AS WELL as having "the sound". It's just sad most people know him for the bossa nova crap, that, ironically, he DIDN'T pioneer.
The same can be said about David Sanborn though. Most people think of him as another smooth jazz sax player in the same tier as Kenny G.
I have seen this concert, cause i had the luck to be in Nice that and the following year with my parents. We were at the beach when i looked at the backside of the Nice Matin which my father was reading and read the names Barney Bigard, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz... As soon my father told me them were playing at a jazz festival i nerved them all day long until we went there every day ;-)
that's arnie lawrence on alto, the man who founded the New School Jazz Program...just wanted to give some love to a man who affected numerous lives and never got credit...RIP..we love you Arnie

IMHO, Stan Getz was and will always remain THE MOST COMPLETE SAX PLAYER - and yes, I did say sax - as in any sax - player......ever.

The phrase from 2:27 to 2:32 is great.
