Stan Getz - On a Slow Boat to China

[@andrewfyakim525]

Had the great pleasure to see him play in 1974 in Raleigh NC. I was 4 feet away at a front table! A few weeks later got to see Woody Herman....

[@charlesstenger5485]

The pleasure of hearing a humming bass.

[@Jazzhog]

SWEEEEEEET !!! Stan Getz was one of the smoothest tenors on the Jazz scene. Love all his work...

[@ItsJazztime]

Saw Stan , Kenny Baron , Rufus Reid and Victor Lewis at the Toronto Jazz Festival JUNE 1987 and he played this old chestnut also Frankie and Johnnie.He inspired me as a kid to take up the Tenor and it got me out of a small town in Ireland to London England playing with Shirley Bassey, Dusty Springfield and Matt Munro. and eventually to New York where I played with Harry James's band, Lionel Hampton Kai Winding, Ray McKinley, Nat Pierce etc. Thanks Stan for giving me a career and a Life.

[@corvandermey4172]

Ye for me Stan was also an inspiration to continue playing saxophone when I was about 14. Since than he has always be my musical inspiration.

[@laslatty1016]

to Zoot. I grew up on the West Coast and loving the sound of West Coast jazz , (mentored by Chet Baker and got my first gig with Shelly Manne) but when I heard Stan's solo on "Early Autumn" with the Woody Herman Band It blew me away. I was a keyboard session musician but I think Stan was probably 1 of the 3 greatest jazz musicians that ever picked up an instrument. I used to have endless conversations with him when he would be gigging at the Colonial in Toronto...it was just fabulous!!

[@charlesbarry6730]

One of the greatest saxophonists ever. What a sound! This is one of the best groups that accompanied Stan Getz. The pianist is fantastic.

[@michaelchapman4955]

Kenny Barron is a Rembrandt Jazz pianist

[@rayopezzo4052]

To take a ballad of that vintage and make it fresh, new and innovative is pure genius! Reminds me of Stan's take on "Penthouse Serenade", can't listen enough to those tunes. R.I.P. Stan Getz.

[@angusm9419]

I think the classiest comment I've ever heard of was when John Coltrane said of Stan Getz..."We'd all sound like if we could."

[@shofarlasabiduriadeamar3739]

Stan getz.....simple the best

[@samuso86]

haha i love the way the pianist keeps referencing 'fried banana', great stuff

[@miklosantonescu]

I read about it. It's all over KZbin. And that's exactly what brought me here. I'll check all Getz videos now.

[@charlesbarry6730]

The unmistakeable sound of Sta

[@charlesbarry6730]

The unmistakeable sound of Stan Getz.

[@peterlarsen1000]

A very enjoyable jazz version of this well-known song. Rosa Larsen

[@jazzuffe]

So beutiful, Getz was relly in a peak that year, what a band!

[@matrixmonster110]

I've only just learned of Kenny Barron today! His playing is absolutely incredible! Everything from the technique to the feeling is top tier excellence!

[@TylerRayJohnson]

Ah man he’s the best! One of the most lyrical solistes of all time. Check out Live At Bradley’s, amazing albums.

[@michaelchapman6466]

Stan Getz & Kenny Barron were Absolute Giants on their respective instruments in every sense of the Word ! by coincidence, I happened to meet up with Stan's son, Steve shortly after his dad passed- we soon became friends of a kindred spirit.. Steve Getz is an accomplished Jazz Drummer in his own right!

[@christophercharles9645]

Stan called Kenny "the other half of my heart" during their duet show run.

[@smkybndt77]

Kenny baron the all time greatest piano player. Unreal!!

[@memzehni]

smkybndt77 ...yes, him... and Kirk Lightsey, Herbie, Chick, Richie Beirach, Kenny Kirkland, Mulgrew Miller and and and...

[@cashglobe]

@Mr. Giggles Thats like comparing an all time Boxer with an all time Mixed Martial Artist, or a Hockey Player with a Lacrosse player, or a Nordic Skier with a Freestyle Skier. Liszt, if traveled in time to the Jazz era, would have probably been a great player, but hard to say if he would have had the feel and beat that someone like Kenny does. Lord knows 99% of Classical cats have shitty time. But I also don't think Kenny has the same technical chops that Liszt had, so again, it's just a non argument.

[@corvandermey4172]

Two of the very greatest joined together=better than fantastic!

[@GClephMusique]

As a jazz musician, I think they just got "the formula" right. I always pair myself up with a faster bop player, as I emulate Stan. To me it's just as important as having a rhythm section that plays ahead and behind the beat, rather than just one.
