"Hi Denis,
Thank's for the info on that tune. Right now I'm checking out the "AVALON" chords and see if it matches.
Thank's again

Stan, in an interview discussing Lester Young's influence.
"He [Lester Young] was the first tenor saxophone player I heard play melodically, to make beautiful melodies. The saxophone is actually a translation of the human voice, in my conception. All you can do is play melody. No matter how complicated it gets, it’s still a melody. I never tried to play like Pres, but I so loved his conception of music that maybe some of it seeped into me. It’s supposed to be that way. A lot of people have influenced me. You don’t try to imitate it; you digest it. Because you love it so much, some of it comes out…
After the thirty years or so I’ve been in music, he still comes through as a guy who wasn’t afraid to show what he felt in his playing, instead of hiding his heart under a bunch of hate and a bunch of notes."
Interview regarding the "Focus" album.
"I don’t purposely try to go in a different direction, like some people do. I just have my own idea about music. I want to play it the way I feel it. You can call it whatever you want, but that’s the way I play. I’ve always tried to play exactly what I thought was right… But anybody that comes to hear me knows I’m still playing the same way I always played, with the addition of worthwhile new material."

The story goes that one day God announced he wished to play a musical instrument and so he choose the tenor saxophone because to him, it sounded closest to the sound of an angelic voice. An angel nearby hearing God suggested he listen to a Stan Getz recording which God did. After listening to a tune or two God declared that he had decided to choose another instrument. When the angel asked God why he had changed his mind God paused, smiled broadly, and answered..."because I have heard the voice of perfection". R.I.P. Stan Michael J. Simonetti May 15, 2009

Ray Vitale posted a blog postInfo on "SWEETIE PIE"
In 1952 Stan Getz did a live recording of a tune he wrote called "SWEETIE PIE" in one of the jazz clubs in NYC. and I believe it's the only one he did on this tune. What I'm looking for is the chord structure on it. It sounds like a combination of Honeysuckle Rose and another tune like "SWEET SUE"on the bridge. Stan really swings on this one. Give me a buzz if anybody has some info on this song. Thank's and stay well.RayDoing a little searching on the internet I came up with this Info: (if your…See More
