John Coltrane & Stan Getz: Hackensack (Rifftide)

Tenor giants John Coltrane and Stan Getz lead an incredible group through a tune claimed by both Thelonius Monk (Hackensack) and Coleman Hawkins (Rifftide).

Oscar Peterson sits in on piano with the incomparable rhythm section of Paul Chambers (bass) and Jimmy Cobb (drums).

Wow! I love both these guys for different reasons... hard to compare a melodic all star like Getz with a phrasing, chord structure all timer like Coltrane.... but I will give Getz this... it took balls of brass to play his solo after Trane was done with his. I would have put my horn down and NEVER played again!

AND the best rhythm section ever assembled! Are you kidding me? How great is that? - thanks for posting these.

What an odd life you must have, trying to make points on Youtube and getting all huffy with people. Pitiful.

You, my friend, are an exceptional example of a stubborn, self-righteous bastard. It is people like you that give the internet a bad reputation.

[donnyab]

your various replies to people are genuinely funny though.

Huh?..Neither u or the other numbskull haven't a clue of what it is I was tryin' to convey.Read my comments fool and u'd realize that I wasn't denigrating Getz.I state certain truths about these jazz greats musical abilities by comparing their styles n the diverse direction each had taken within' their career and u and the other fool can't take it nor face the truth,mainly due to my clarity of thought n common sense logic.Get a life Jackass n don't be so jealous cause u unable to articulate

He meant "talk like one is better or one is behind the times". It's clear what he meant, and he's right. What do you know about "new" in the time? It's so ironic that most of the actual players would not even engage in the kind of talk that fans of the genre partake in so often. "Coltrane SMOKED so-and-so" and all that talk would have send John out of the room. He was busy creating the music and not concerned with talking about who had what level of skills. You don't know what Getz wanted.

'TALK LIKE WHAT'? Read what I said u fool.If u read what I said n truly analyzed what I said,u would understand that I never said anything derogatory towards Getz.All I stated was a truth that bossa nova saved Getz's career from obscurity.What is it that u don't get,numbnut?I dig Getz just as a dig Hawk, Dex and Prez.Yes I agree,Getz plays with beauty,but he does nothing new here that the greats mentioned have not already done.Trane does.

My commentary is enlightening. Read it n weep,imbecile.

[SeerTrulth]

You're an idiot, in terms of art. Not ONE accomplished musician I know would talk like this. If Getz' beauty doesn't capture your heart, walk away and find your vibe. Your commentary is imbecilic.

[SeerTrulth]

Why do we always compare like it's a battle? Coltrane would have smiled and walked away from you it he heard you say that. When you have a higher attitude, you'll be a better musician.
