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".

Welcome to the new and improved SG forum! Firstly, my sincere apologies to all of you who joined the vbulletin forum on Stan's web page. I hope you will all come and join us here! (By the way... if you are already a member of 'ning', you can simply use your existing login and password to sign in) Stan's site is under new "creative management"! We found that vbulletin was just a tad 'dour'. This network allows for more interaction and freedom to be yourself. Add photos, music, videos, etc. While the site was created to remember/discuss Stan, we openly invite and look forward to all discussions about music, musicians and the like. I only request that we still 'keep it clean"! Remember, there are kids out there that may want to participate. Again, so sorry if this causes any inconvenience. But I do believe that you will all enjoy this new extension of Stan's web site! I would still request that you all please sign in using your name and not a screen name so as to avoid 'spammers'. This will help the administrators and moderators greatly with their task and time! All My Best, Bev P.S. While you can upload whatever music to your own page, please be respectful of copyright!

Denis, very pleased you feel the same way about Bud Shank. His comment about Stan Getz and the mastery of the sax is priceless. I began to acquire his recordings on the Contemporary label in the fifties. He was more popular on the West Coast as we...
Paul, thanks for that beautiful pic of Bud. You know I remember watching a video of Bud playing at the North Sea Jazz Festival. He was with Jimmy Heath, Sonny Fortune and Gary Bartz for the front line. They were playing Doxy, and let me tell you h...
I have no idea why Bud Shank's "I Told You So" shows up in Japanese nor why Kenny Rankin's "Sunny Gets Blue" was introduced a second time.
Bud Shank, the brilliant alto-sax musician has left us for ever. The music he has left us will keep his memory alive in our hearts and minds.

Morning...

Almost every morning starts off with Stan's Small World part 2 on My Page. Today I realized that not only is it some cool sound but very appropriate for our times, "liv'in in a small world...". Enjoy!

The Power of Prayer & Hope In Difficult Times...

Here is a simple yet powerful message to remember
when we are facing a difficult time in life...



When we pray and have hope for a better tomorrow,
it does wonders and gives us strength and the ability
to handle what's happening today. We just have to
remember to take one step at a time...and keep things
light and simple in present time...so that we will be able
to notice and appreciate all the little miracles that are
happening in our lives.

Have a blessed day!

Ben
