Stan Getz with the Woody Herman Big Band: The Dolphin

[@theRealMcG]

I was playing lead tenor in the band, I could hardly believe Stan Getz was playing right in front of me! Humbling for one thing, incredible for another.

Were you with the heard when they backed up Sinatra at Madison Square Garden?

For the second time (first time back in the '40s)! Playing a Brazilian beautiful song by Luiz Eça, also recorded by Bill Evans.

Quelle merveille!

This is so beautiful. Beta, would you happen to have the full version without some of the edits that come towards the end?

[@betaeta8620]

I wish I did. I don't remember exactly where I found this recording, maybe an old skippy CD...sorry

[@laurenhoward2888]

@@betaeta8620 no problem. I’m just glad you posted it as is. It’s a lovely arrangement and Stan Getz plays so elegantly.

[@laurenhoward2888]

Hi Beta. I found the CD where this track came from. It's Woody Herman Live at the Concord Jazz Festival featuring Al Cohn and Stan Getz, 1981. It's posted on KZbin. under the title of the CD. The CD cost around $37 on Amazon!

The full audio recording without the audio cuts is on JW Pepper

Yuk! Orchestra and jazz - no no

[@gtpinter]

D.W. Don't get hung up on the word "orchestra", it's still a big band. A large portion of Stan's roots was this setting. It's beautiful music... you don't like it, listen to something else.. no "yuk", like a kid who won't eat his green beans. Where are your manners "pal"? LOL... "pal" is one Woody might have used on you if he was still alive to hear you say "yuk". One time a patron tried to tell Woody how to run his band.. Woody said "how much did you pay to get in here"? The guy said "fifteen dollars". Woody pulled $15 out of his wallet, handed it to him and said "go home". Anyway, you're not even paying to hear it.. so why insult talented & under-appreciated musicians?

[@theRealMcG]

Orchestra can also mean big band in jazz. If you think this is “yuk” then I feel bad for you. Plus I like my flute playing on this!

A great concert in CONCORD FESTIVAL 1982
