Stan Getz Quartet - Captain Marvel (Live At Montreux 1972)

[@smythe555]

Cannonball and Getz are my favorites

[@curiousnomad]

Interesting hearing Tony play Paiste cymbals. And, watching how each player is so tuned into what’s happening and reacting musically while supporting Stan.

[@ggmusicdrums]

It's great to see a clear color video with good sound of the young Tony Williams playing the basic 4-piece drum set. Great band. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevenperren6364]

He was still young but he’d been at the very top table for 9 years already ! His work with the Miles quintet in the 60s is the very pinnacle of jazz drumming.

Rip Chick! Now with Tony and Stan. I love the Captain Marvel album

[@halgrimmerdningen9291]

I remember this concert. It was not on the festival program and was arranged for those of us who had bought a festival passport. Great concert and a great festival.

[@rdklarnet55]

Halgrim Merødningen lucky you. i used to listen to this track on the album on repeat (or the whole album) really nice to hear you saw it live.

[@drumtwo4seven]

I keep watching this. The drumming is fucking insane.

[@jibsmokestack1]

Tony is the goat! So creative compared to other drummers. He brought more to the table aged 17 than 99% of jazz drummers do for their entire career!

[@citydrums7525]

Shows how absolutely, authoritatively bad-ass Tony Williams was. Timeless...

[@pinkcat8855]

It shows that less is more. He is playing a classic 4 piece drum set. 🥁

[@bobx6250]

Check out Stan ..cooling out with that 70's jump suit and them white shoes...an era gone by the younger generation missed out on...not only that the fantastic musicianship..Stan was fantastic a legend!

[@kinesjl]

Stan was a melodic genius with virtuoso chops and amazing tone. He's my favorite tenor sax. If you want to hear Getz's Bebop era check out Dizz and Getz which featured Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, Ray Brown on bass, Oscar Peterson on Piano and Max Roach on drums. They do the best version of "It dont mean a thing" I've ever heard. That was another amazing ensemble just like Captain Marvel.

[@davekurtzmusic2371]

Agree! The musicianship on Diz and Getz is phenomenal! I don't see alot of comments about that all star lineup. Each tune was great.

[@paxwallacejazz]

I was 12 and hadn't yet heard of Chick Corea. But the next year I would have a great band director who answered Chic Corea when I asked who's really hip.

[@ioioio13]

Chick and this song specifically off Light as a Feather turned me onto the artform 8 years ago. Wish I'd found it sooner but the second best time to plant a tree is today

[@malissasmith7937]

Saw a version of this band live in NYC in 1974. Billy Hart was on drums. Masterful and brilliant. So wonderful to see this performance. Thanks for the upload.

[@seffyjanze]

that's some good tony footage

[@caponsacchi]

London House, Chicago, '72--I sat at a table 3 feet from Chick, who ignored the perfect Steinway on his left--and we conversed (he had played earlier the same day at the Jazz Showcase). Meanwhile our party of 4 marveled at Stan's tight jump suit while I was immersed in sheer brilliance (Stanley! Tony! Chick!). Stan seemed out to prove a point--and he did, but afterwards we agreed we missed the Getz of 10 ('Desafinado") and 20 years ago ("Early Autumn").

[@Frisbieinstein]

A magical combination. Too bad they didn't go back to it every now and then.

[@テイラーサム]

I love low-volume licks like Getz did at 6:05. So tasteful. And it came at the end of the piece, when I wasn't expecting such a tasty lick

[@vincentfranklin17]

Definitely one of my favorite Stan Getz tunes!

I know we recognize Stanley Clarke’s popularity on electric and rightfully so because he’s the greatest on it, but his natural instrument was the upright bass. He should’ve continued to play it more often after 1978.

[@FawleyJude]

I remember reading a review of this performance, it was in Life magazine. I couldn't believe that Tony Williams was playing with Stan Getz, because I'd been listening to Lifetime's "Emergency" and "Turn It Over" and didn't think Tony would play sideman for anyone, plus this style of music was so different. That's true with Chick Corea also, he'd played some really out there stuff with Miles and with the group Circle, and now here he was playing Latin-tinged jazz with Stan Getz. Tony and Chick both went on to lead groups of their own again but playing very different music than before. It was almost like their stint with Getz was a "pause and reset" moment for them.

[@smythe555]

Captain Marvel actually was recorded before Light As A Feather but the record company released it after. I personally like it better. Also, remember, Chick joined Stan earlier and made Sweet Rain. Chick speaks highly of his tenure with Stan. It was a serious gig for all these cats. The only reason the band broke up was because eventually they wanted a lot more bread, because they were all stars by that time - it became impossible for Stan to find gigs that would pay them what they wanted.

[@smythe555]

I love Stan's playing with Tony on drums. There's big fire happening. It's too bad they didn't make another album together.

[@bigyouth72]

great

[@marcrogers1051]

I have this whole DVD/CD set, you get the full show to watch and to listen to. Really awesome stuff. Basically this is just before Chick & Stanley put together the "electric" version of RTF & Tony getting his famous yellow 7 piece kit.

Getz is in fact a very aggressive musician.

[@kinesjl]

Exactly! He does some phenomenally fiery solos but stays in the melody with brilliant melodic improvisation. Also he never stopped growing as a musician from Bebop to West Coast to the orchestral accompaniment of Focus through Bossa Nova to fusion he did it all.

[@txa1265]

Exactly - he never liked being typed for playing sambas ... also, can we talk about how Evil Kenevil suit?

[@edwarddesenne6153]

Not at all “aggressive “ with its true , original meaning - more” swinging” and lively rhythmically and harmonically. He , later, favoured a warmer relaxed style but equally inventive and with varied ideas !

I have the dvd. Highly recomnended. The sound is not that good. It hasn't been remixed or remastered. But, what a gem. How did they end up together?

[@branmar]

I don't know the exact story of how or why this group came together for this performance. I can tell you that soon after arriving in the US, Flora Purim worked for a time with Stan Getz. I get the feeling she was hired to invoke Astrud Gilberto, but obviously Flora was in a whole other world. Anyway, in the early 1970's Flora and her husband Airto Moreira were part of the original incarnation of Return To Forever along with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Joe Farrell. I think it was their common association with Flora Purim that brought Stan Getz together with Chick and Stanley, but I don't know if there were other circumstances. Let me also say, check out a 21 years young Stanley Clarke in this clip. At such a young age he was already fully formed. Although much of his public acclaim came from his electric bass playing, I believe he was at his most profound playing acoustic bass. Just look at how effortlessly his huge hands skip around on his full-sized bass violin.

[@stretch54]

Tony is playing this with a very heavy hand. I think Airto did a nice job with this on Light As A Feather.

[@Riddim4]

Airto sounded great, but he didn’t bring to the table what Tony did. That’s why Tony was there. I’m not sure where you get the idea that he was heavy handed here. He played authoritatively but he didn’t overpower the band.

[@johnayres2303]

stretch54 I agree, much as I respect Tony, in my opinion Airto was better suited to this Chick song.

[@branmar]

Airto played his version of jazz drum set samba, which was a completely honest and natural expression for him. No matter how competent Tony Williams' samba was, it was just never possible that it would have that slick swing of Airto's samba. What Tony Williams' performance did have was his distinct dynamic. Many enjoyed that dynamic, while others considered it to be "heavy handed." But hitting hard was as natural and authentic to Tony as samba is to Airto.

[@stretch54]

@@branmar Tony was an all time great. His style is heavy. That's not a bad thing just as a light touch is not a bad thing. There's a place musically for both.
