Stan Getz Music

I e-mailed Amazon and pointed out their error, but, I
guess they didn't understand what I was trying to tell
them. They show Stan Getz Meets Gerry Mulligan, I own
that one, great, but, The cover of the CD they are
showing is a different CD, Gerry Mulligan and Paul
Desmond, Blues In Time is the title. Wake up!!.

Stan Getz Plays is a wonderful record, and though Stan Getz sounded consistently good throughout his long career, there is something special about this record for me--like all the pieces just fell magically in place. Stella By Starlight has interesting chord changes, and has been played by lots of musicians, but Stan was born to play Stella. Most often done in Bb, Getz does it in "G" for Getz. Perfection.

Lots of the tunes on this record are well known standards, done thousands of times, but Getz does them as text book examples, showing how it should be done, and making it all sound so easy. The Way You Look Tonight, Lover Come Back To Me, Body And Soul, Stars Fell On Alabama, Thanks For The Memory, These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You), How Deep Is The Ocean--all very familiar standards, but Getz manages to make them sound fresh and new. 'Tis Autumn is a beautiful tune that should be heard more, and ditto for You Turned The Tables On Me. The rhythm section is really in sync with him--great drums, bass, piano, and guitar.

Get Stan Getz Plays next time you want to get her in the mood.

It's said the gifts Stan Getz had included perfect pitch and perfect rhythm -- blessings to any jazz improvisationlist and certainly insight to his creative genius. "Stan Getz Plays" is young Getz at his best and, in my opinion, one of his best albums ever. Another talent of his noted by other jazz giants was an uncanny ability to decide what order the musical selections ought to be in -- perfect programming. This collection demonstrates his splendid feel for ballads, hard bop and easy going, straight ahead blowing. Like jazz itself, this album never gets old. By the way, the kid in the cover picture is Stan's son.

On this record Stan Getz is simply stunning and plays sixteen jazz standards like a man possessed. I have a number of Getz records but definitely rate this among his best.

Although the whole record is great, I rate his versions of "Stella by Starlight", "Time on my Hands", "Body and Soul", "Stars Fell on Alabama", "Thanks for thr Memory" and "Nobody Else but Me" as real gems. The sound quality is also very good considering it was recorded more than 50 years ago. I am so lucky to have stumbled across this record as I had no intention of buying it when I made my monthly visit to the record store.

This is simply one of the greatets Stan Getz recordings of all times. This is Stan at his best... Sound and recording quality also very good.

Stan Getz started out Cool and dry, in the late 40's and early 50's with wonderful ballad technique, but not as much feeling & emotion as his masterworks in the eighties.

Amazingly enough, in this early Stan Getz album, Stan the Man sounds not like his other fifties albums, not like the Bossa Nova or Fusion Stan, but much like his mature style 30+ years later, in his last decade, his greatest era.

Well recorded for the time, in mono, but the Sound is glorious. Compare this to "Bossas and Ballads" recorded near the end of his life to see what I mean!

"Stella by StarLight", "Nobody Else but Me", "Tis Autumn" and "Body and Soul" are particularly nice.

early Getz to own!
Stan Getz is always the best choice for both Jazz aficionados and those novices completely new to the form. There will never be another sax player this good.

If you're a fan of the breathy tenor playing of Stan Getz, or just a fan of beautiful jazz, this is a must. Stan Getz Plays has been one of my favorites for a few years now. It's a collection of old American standards played by Stan in a small group setting with jazz notables like Jimmy Raney, Max Roach, Jimmy Rowles and Duke Jordan. The songs are gorgeous, but maybe a little too short. Stella By Starlight and 'Tis Autumn only last about four minutes each when I feel I could listen to them all day. But why carp? Stan even does an incredible version of Thanks For The Memories (yeah, the Bob Hope song) that'll nearly bring you to tears. This is definitely much more middle of the road than some of Stan's other stuff, but I strongly suggest it as something to accompany that next rainy afternoon or quiet dinner.
