I can't imagine what it was like to be in the audience that night and see Tony Williams deliver a drum solo from 2024...

[@scatdad]

My dad Marky markowitz played trumpet worked with Stan in woody Herman’s band circa 1947 2nd herd and I used to play with his children when I was their age at 4 or 5 in long island

Today is Thursday 7 March 2024, this music is as fresh today as it was 52 years ago. I grew up listening to Stan Getz, I was 15 when I bought his Live at Carnegie Hall recorded in 1964. I listened to Tony Williams from the time he joined Miles Davis's second great group. These type of musicians are few and far in between, thank you for sharing this gem from your jewelry collection.

[@andrewcharley1893]

Can't believe this music is 52 years old,fresher than some stuff coming out now.

[@djandersonny]

Oh yes! Today is Sunday 24 March 2024, @karlkilcrease51, this music is as fresh today as it was way back when you listened to it on Thursday 7 March 2024. Amazing how it's stood the test of time! Stan Getz was the first tenor guy that really grabbed by the ears when I was a high school kid around 1959. I love Stan's muscularity on Chick Corea's "La Fiesta!" Monster! This is from the same period as his "Focus" LP. I wore the grooves off that record! And Chick is amazing (though I'd rather hear him on piano than Fender Rhodes or whatever). I love Stanley Clarke's "guitaristic" approach to the upright bass. And he's sitting down! There is nobody on this planet who can say enough about Tony Williams! Good Joyous God Almighty! [I jumped into this at 35.10 "La Fiesta", Now I'll go back to the beginning and have the whole thing for breakfast. Good Day!!!]

Return to Forever with Tony and Stan. Amazing document. I prefer it with Joe Farrel and Airto, but it's interesting to realise that by the time they got to Light as a Feather, this stuff was all well played in for Stanley and Chick, and Airto took a bunch of stuff from Tony.

[@ajn465]

Believe me the younger guys there were learning from Stan. And since they were brilliant artists in their own rights: Stan also learned from them. That’s the best part of jazz right there. Growth through human interaction. They were just reaching the realm where Stan had been for quite some time already. And yeah, they all obviously got there in spades.

Amazing how the rise still sounds like Toby's ride. He always had a signature ride cymbal but usually used Bospherous didn't he? But this one sounds just like vintage Tony!

Stan recorded a series of Jazz+Samba records, in different band arrangements, for the Verve Label in the mid- sixties. Started a whole craze. Check THOSE out....

[@nelsonanthoine6293]

Check out Live at The Roost, about '52 in Boston, with Horace Silver on piano. Stan was well appreciated amidst the beboppers and learned their language early, with rhythm section members of Charlie Parker's band playing with him when CP was temporarily out of it around 1950. Getz one of the top five overall reed and flute players, and his longevity and variety ensures that. Be sure to hear him play flute on La Fiesta on the Return to Forever album with Airti and Flora Purim.

Great band, and such fun that I used run my own jazz club from my hometown, and when I picked up the phone to Ronnie Scott to see who might play at my club, his partner Peter King, answering the phone in Ronnie's club would shout to Ronnie: Hey Ronnie ! It's Tony Williams on the phone for you !! The fun began after he picked it up to find that it was the wrong Tony Williams !

I always thought that Stan and Chick were of similar thinking minds, with the addition of Tony Williams they take on an even greater expressive presence. Their timing and intuitive nature makes this a super group and with the addition of Stanley Clark take on an even greater fusion temperature.

This last observation is obviously a coincidence but nevertheless fascinating in a “ weird “ kinda way: Of this AMAZING quartet- 1 was born In February 2 died in February 1 died in June 2 were born in June 2 are named Stanley 2 are named Anthony ( i.e. Chick’s middle name was Anthony) Thank you God for supplying”top shelf” music through these guys!
