"Most of my records I don't remember making." Man, what an incredible admission. To have such an exalted position, to create such great art, and not even know you did.

some would say it is the lack of knowing that creates great art. It is surrender to the mystery that continues to produce those things that represent to us the power of the unknown. But it does get tied into habits of addiction when artists become addicted to not knowing.

I’m at this stage currently. It sucks not knowing what you did the night before. Suddenly waking up in bed, wondering how you got there, and only remembering the last thing you were doing before your memory cut out…

I guess if a 9-foot tall bear takes a swipe at saxophonist, it's best to be a high saxophonist.

My dad was a jazz musician and Stan Getz was his hero. My dad had a photo of me as a baby that was actually signed by Stan Getz, wishing me a happy life. He had it in his wallet until the day he died. My mom gave it to me and I still have it to this day.

been a fan of getz for a while, never heard him speak or tell his stories until now. i’m absolutely blown away by his unconventional type of articulation and the magnitude behind the words he speaks. thank you for posting this

I saw Stan once. He said, 'and now I'd like to present our guitarist (Rene Thomas)" "One of the best guitarists in the world" Pause. "He's got to be that good to play with me"!! Stan's solos get to parts of my brain nothing else reaches as does Chet.

I can relate to Stan Getz being in a cloud of alcohol....functional and carrying on life, doing things on autopilot and making major accomplishments all under the influence of alcohol and when it is all said and done, you look back and don't remember a minute of it.....on to the next drink...and do it all over again, until the alcohol takes it's toll on one of your important major organs and then that is when you realize you can't keep doing this unless you want to take that long dirt nap.

Love it! Beautiful animation, great interview! Keep 'em coming! I was friends with Stan Getz in the last two years of his life. So good to hear his voice again. Stan's the reason I started playing tenor saxophone. Thanks for this!

Just fantastic animation and interpretation ~ perfectly captures the style, feel and moment.

Wonderful animation. Terrific, thank you!

“I’m sure we could’ve played better, if we weren’t.” That’s so sad to hear. As good as Stan Getz was, imagine how better the music could’ve been if he wasn’t battling addiction.

So glad I heard this (and watched it, too). I had to stop listening to an Audible version of his biography because it was SO depressing. The guy was a "monster" player... and just a regular monster human being, horrible to everyone around him. It pains me to write that, considering how much I love his playing. Anyway, good to know that he kicked those habits in the 80's. Maybe I'll go back and listen to the rest of the bio, now that I know he redeemed himself at the end.

awesome thanks stan getz

this is really about the anxieties of his age, and attempting to escape through drugs but the anxieties of society remain. there's definitely dependency there and you might change your behavior to fix your reaction but the problem remains.

Such a brilliant talent....so underrated....

This was great 👍🏼 to watch. I love ❤️ jazz music 🎵 🎼 🎶

Melodic informed linear subtle smart as hell always playing challenging material what a great musician.

Jazz music is a man's game

Stan Getz was working professionally when he was a teenager.He was with grown men who were addicts and or alcholics.Poor kid didn't have a chance.Shame on his parents for letting him be in that environment.

I'm shaking my shoulders like that bear now. Nice upload.

When Getz says they were 'stoned' I don't think he actually meant 'high on cannabis' - which is what the accompanying cartoon depicted. 'Stoned' applied to junk as well, plus it's Heroin, not Mary Jane, that usually makes one lose interest in Sex. Miles Davis talked openly about that, that when you're 'stoned on Junk', you lose interest in getting laid.

@@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide Cannabis had been around for decades and many of the earlier, 1930s Swing Era Jazzers smoked it - Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa, Mezz Mezzrow, for example as well as late 1940s BeBoppers like Dizzy Gillespie, but by the early 1950s, heroin had become the drug of choice of many young - such 'Cool Jazz' saxophonists like Gerry Mulligan and Stan Getz even got busted for it in the 50s.

He remembers the album he doesn't have many memories in regards to the recording process or the backstory

I saw Stan give a series of clinics at Stanford University in 1986. I seem to recall he died shortly thereafter.

I think Stan would want to help young musicians by his experiences. He's the king of the saxophone, let's face it. and when the king tells you not to do something, it makes us kids want to do what he says. if anything, his words here are a blessing.

King of the saxophone? Smh. He is a great but no where near the King! He was essentially a Lester Young disciple and no where near as good as Young imo! The KIngs of the saxophone all time in chronological order are Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins & John Coltrane. Notable mentions are Johnny Hodges, Benny Carter, Dexter Gordon, Eric Dolphy, Hank Mobley, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Mike Brecker and many others I could mention!

Does anyone know what album the version of "I've Got You Under My Skin" is from (at the end of this clip)? I thought it was from the album that he did with Bill Evans, Ron Carter and Elvin Jones but that tune is not on the track listing. I'm unable to find this Getz version of this tune anywhere. Anyone know?

Wow he's talking about being a lush while playing Ellington/Strayhorn's brilliant "Lush Life" with Chick Corea on Rhodes.

Great.

Dam this waz a gd one

Near the end of this, I believe it is Warne Marsh who is depicted.

Great story about Serge Chaloff. He was the supply and annoyed Woody. (Herman)One night in a crowded bar Serge was stoned, speech slurred etc. Woody urinated against his leg then walked off. Stan has to be my favorite player, no question but he was a very strange character. Zoot said he was a very nice group of people! Trouble was you never knew what one you would get.

I know the focus of this video is not to glorify drugs, but there is a danger that especially young people think that the drugs made him great. He was great in spite of the drugs. Drugs won't make a nobody a Stan Getz. Who knows how much better he could have been.
