Hello again Doumbeck!

Perhaps this is just a discussion of what the word "cool" means. Getz was just too good for the critics - they had to invent something negative. One genius of them find the solution - he was "cool" - that means without feeling, compare to others who had that gift. Thats why I can't accept "cool" to describe the tenor-giant Stan Getz. Thank you.

I can see why Astrud Gilberto fell in love with him. But I would have wanted to keep Joao Gilberto also. (It was the 60s, things like that happened!)

Call Mr. Getz cool, bebop, soul, or anything your heart desires but Mr. Getz was a great musician.

@unifb2007 : I was not competing at all, my dear. But all right. Let's do that.

When I listen to Stan Getz, I also hear Lester Young. Mal Waldron's beautiful ballad "Soul Eyes" is the perfect vehicle for Stan Getz and Kenny Barron. We lost Stan much too early in 1991. He was only 64. Peace, Peter

@Nonettegetz - P.S. - you mentioned all of the "old" Getz albums in one of your comments - just wanted to let you know that BILL EVANS-GETZ "BUT BEAUTIFUL" AND "SWEET RAIN" are two of my all-time favorite albums / now CDs that I have and I still listen to them regular basis - I "do" listen to "old" Getz - let's agree to disagree about why Stan played so beautifully the last 4-5 years of his life and end this "pissing contest"

@unifb2007 -- I cannot see my previous comment. However, I do perfectly read the contexts. You wrote: "no one played the Tenor Sax better than Getz did the last 4-5 years of his life when he was sober". I cannot agree with your framing Getz's brilliancy in such a short period. I am glad that you had the chance to see Davis, Trane, Monk, etc., but that doesn't change the fact that your comment about Getz was very unfortunate. -- Music doesn't need to be understood: you need to feel it.
