He is the greatest! His tone is perfect sax. I saw him live in 1973 when I was a young college freshman; sax/flute major. It was a small club (Frog and Nightgown, Raleigh) and I was 4 feet away in the front table. It was one of the most memorable evenings of my life.

STAN GETZ... LE MEIULLER INTÉRPRÈTE DE LA BOSSA-NOVA...!!! QUELLE FIERTÉ POUR NOUS...!!!

Saw him playing at Grande Halle in Paris some time before his death. He still had that distinctive saxo touch of his, masterfully playing his bossanova hits to an enthralled audience. Unforgettable.

His sound on the sax is so distinctive.... Love it

How could you not be inspired by this man if you played sax? The greatest...

I played piano, flute in an orchestra and sax in a band, but I didn't make the sax sound like Getz, a tremendous talent!

As John Coltrane once said: "We'd all sound that, if we could..." The tone is to die for. Fabulous!

After hearing Stan Getz, I decided tot change from soprano to tenor. I was 16 at that moment. Since about 35 years I play mostly alto, but still listening much to Getz with his genius melody lines

He is the reason I became a saxophonist

If you are only half as good as he was , then you are wonderful.

What a tone! Stan playing a beautiful Jobin tune. I will never tire of listening to this man. Just brilliant.

!!!!!!!!!

Me too buddy, me too. Mr Getz was/is the finest saxophonist,ever! The sometimes elusive quest of perfection can take a lot out of a person. People shouldn't bring up someone's personal demons, which are too often part of the creative process,don't you agree? RIP.

I have been listening to Getz since 1962's Desafinado, and have yet to hear him sound anything other than exquisite. This is a great artist's concept of a wonderful tune.

the most lyrical and exciting tenor player I've certainly ever heard; been loving his sound since 1962 - "Desafinado".

Getz always knew how to get the best out a tune. This is a fine version of Wave.

It seems that every jazz musician performs Desafinado, Corcovado, and/or Wave at some point. Great sax sound, thank you Stan

I can listen to this for hours.

Hello Phyllis, How are you doing?

Musicality maximus. Getz's riffs are always fresh, endlessly inventive, yet distinctively his. Flawless taste.

Woav! I can't get this melody out from my head! Just perfect with Stan Getz. I love it!

He is such a skilled musician and I'm sure he inspires a lot of other people. I think the music he creates is beautiful.

Getz is the best saxophonist in the world!!

A unique majesty, a compelling musicality, and a stunningly beautiful contrarianism were all melded together by this descendant of an ancient people....and his timing - musically as well as historically, gave us all yet another towering figure in this great American music.

Le meilleur son du saxophoniste jamais egalé.

Le SON...Incroyable ! Son surnom était: Monsieur SON... Très justifé ce SON unique... Merci ! Renaud

Fantastic music👌🏼👏🏼🤩😍💖💜♥️❤️💙💚💛💛

Época em que a música brasileira atingiu o auge da sua sofisticação. Obrigado a Tom Jobim e Vinícius de Moraes, meus compositores preferidos. Obrigado Stan Getz e Sinatra por terem levado essa riqueza para os EUA.

Lovely cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim''s great song, "WAVE." Frank Sinatra sang it years ago. I saw Stan Getz perform, seems like a life-time ago, in a club in Sausalito - best jazz ever. WAVE lyrics: "So close your eyes, for that's a lovely way to be, aware of things your heart alone was meant to see, The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together; You can't deny, don't try to fight the rising sea, don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me, The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together; Br: When I saw you first the time was half past three, when your eyes met mine, it was eternity; By now we know the wave is on its way to be, just catch the wave, don't be afraid of loving me; The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together, together, together."

No one was better. Such tone, technique and style. Please be there with a group when I die.

Stan has a tone like no other. Coltrane said all sax players would love to sound like Stan. Too bad he struggled with heroin and alcohol most of his life. He was a genius.

I cant imagine how hard this really is. Respect!

This is Stan at his best! absolutely fabulous--so effortless and totally in control.

Loved the Bossa Nova for decades since I first heard it. Stan Getz so smooth

Good for you! And, good for them in teaching you about those greats! I had a similar experience from my maternal grandfather, back in 1950. I was seven, he played the full William Tell Overture on his record player. I sat, listened (as I was supposed to do). Then, all of a sudden, I blurted out, "Grandpa! That's the Lone Ranger!" I've used that trick on others over the years who wanted to know why I love classical music so much!!! Heh-heh.

Just a genius to play another one (Antonio CarlosJobim) we miss you Stan.....

Love this song, thank you.

I like this almost as much as his classic work with Gilberto on their signature album Getz/Gilberto (1963).

Coltrane on Getz: "Let's face it--we'd all sound like that if we could." The King of Right Notes, yet again, achieves what Leonard Bernstein made reference to, in regard to the Music of Beethoven: "The Inevitability of Rightness." And, having slayed his audience, and his fellow players, he "waves" to all of them (sorry, I couldn't resist), and walks offstage. How cool? Miles Davis COOL.

They have a jazz concert at Stan Getz former estate on November 19th with Kenny Baron; it's called Shadowbrook in Tarrytown ny

Wonderful tone¡¡

Stan Getz is fantastic

Stunning .. confirms his position at top of list of "cool" tenors. Early days with Woody Herman and the Herd (Getz, Simms, Giuffre, Shorty Rogers, and Buddy Rich certainly helped.

THIS GREAT MAN WAS ONE OF A KIND! JUST LISTEN TO HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN IT'S A MUSIC LESSON! HIS CREATIVITY LEVEL WAS ENDLESS AND HE WAS IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZABLE. THAT'S WHAT EVERY ARTIST STRIVES FOR AND ONLY DREAM OF ACHIEVING!

Great!! Simply...great!!

He dominates the state with his golden tones and incredible melodic inventions. That's the way horn player should be. He had completely absorbed bossa nova until that then. And quality is always guaranteed.
