Jazz for aficionados
I dont think this is average jazz music.... Anyway "average" jazz music did not make sense... But how to speak about miracles and mystery when we are moved by a musician in any field of music ?
is it perfect striking virtuoso playing ? No... It is an emotion flow in raw form....This musician was a virtuoso young now he is beyond this... I bet this is why he appear as a myth for many... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTDrUzUUglA&list=RDlTDrUzUUglA&start_radio=1

John Coltrane on Stan Getz: "Let's face it—we'd all sound like that if we could." Despite pioneering a radically different, intense, and complex "sheets of sound" approach to the saxophone, Coltrane held immense respect for Stan Getz. He was paying the ultimate compliment to Getz's famously pure, effortless, and lyrical tone, which earned Getz the nickname "The Sound". |

@stuartk , if I had to choose, on tenor I would also include Getz, but than Z.Sims, if we agree that Hawk and Webster are already there. Also, there are some albums that poses sheer beauty, like this one, Ike Qubec’s last. He knew, and the band knew that soon he will be gone, and yet, despite or because of it, they made a such a beautiful music. ’Soul Samba’ https://youtu.be/DhmTMCoP0d8?si=l5j1yYHD-tnq5kz0 Interestingly enough, Stan Getz’s last album, in concert, was made in the same life circumstances, just before his passage to the other side and its also painfully beautiful ’People Time’, issued at first as double album and later as complete, consisting of 7? records, I believe |
