Bev: I am at library computer and will bring along a picture of me and painting soon - I guess I could send music through this venue? jack rembrandt

Dear Bev,

Will you be agree if I design a "Stan Getz's motorbike" ?
I write this for one of your father's picture :
I find this picture very nice, because one of my hobby is DESIGN ! I designed (as an amator one some motorbikes)...you can see on "your tube" the last I draw ..here is the link :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVmpginy-XM
In this black & white picture, there's no fault in design terms. (for me)
I mean that Stan Getz is wearing a costume which is in accord with the nice car behind him, he looks like a " Blue brothers" ...two words he was knowing well "Blues" and "brothers" for "Four brothers", so no doubt, a very good picture...except that he's smoking ...I hate tobacco, that's bad and dangerous, why smoking? I prefer fresh air !
Gerard

hi Bev ! The "Hollywood Phase" of my career. I saw that clip of Stan on the tonight show which i never saw before and i don't feel so bad :) Thanks for the compliment on the brass/reed double which sometimes can be double trouble. You're the best ! Glenn:)

p.s Bev by the way your websites are so well done and thank you and Hilde ! As i mentioned i am archiving my last 45 years in music and it is great to have a channel to post some unusual or out of print items like this one. Just posted "Cottontail" which was my very first record date when i moved to Manhatten as a young man. I walk into the session and there before me is an all star band no rehearsal and we just hit it. That was the NY experience and Jazz Scene back then and i cherish those momemts. Glenn :)

Dear Bev,

Yes, I designed the motorbike you saw on this "you tube video" !
It was made with many parts of others B.M.W models of motorbikes, it is a "mixture of many B.M.W models" with a special look !
I can draw a special one to commemorate Stan !
And I could paint his portrait on ...why not!?

Bev: Contacting you is so exciting for me. To target on people around the world like myself that are somewhat isolated to communicate with people like you Dad. I am in the process of moving from the Palm Beach Area after a solid ten years (fathering a 16 year old son, George) playing with all the good musicians in this South Florida area big band, etc. - back to portrait painting full time but spending several hours a day on tenor playing. I will move Sept. 23 - then pick up my recording up there - but do have some 13 numbers down well and will send them out before leaving it I get your address. My first, Dolphin In The Wild (I have a good tenor solo) CD - has these top people and Tony Bennett, Vic Damone (good friend at PB) and close friend Richard Hayman are wild about it and all original music I did - string et al - arrangements - great friend players with me. I'm bragging! So what! hard frigging work! Using library - will check in with you as i take breaks to come into FAU here - Jeb Bush has been supportive to me and and passed the CD on to The White House - Laura loves it and listens often - Boots loved it and called me so - It is exciting to have a future at 73 and thank god be in good health as i am a cancer survivor three times now even my left eye and lower lip recently but it is healed and checked out Friday and playing hard again - like Stan - I get my lip back fast - as the frigging horn was born in my mouth at birth seem like. Keep cool! Hearde Bud Shank on marian McPartland Saturday nigh NPR from April 06. Jack

Dear Bev,

I've just put a new picture of your father on the site !

Gérard

Dear Bev,

If you still want to create a "STAN GETZ Foundation" (may be, it is only an idea) the purpose of this foundation could be to supply musical instruments to the discriminated young children ( I mean very poor ones), I think that this purpose would have been able to please your father !
For taking the money which is necessary to have the instruments, we (all the members of the foundation) could make special events in the memory of Stan, we could also sell some items, paintings...ect. I think, this should be made in a good spirit to help young people having opportunity to have access to music ! MUSIC avoid VIOLENCE ! What do you think of this idea?
I know, it is not so easy, it is also a "long way" but why not ??
I am looking to organize next year with the mayor of my town (I know him very well) and with the Principality of Monaco a big Jazz party in Memory of Stan ! I know some good musicians and this event could be possible in our city theatre !!!
Have a nice day !
Sincerely!
Gérard

Stan Getz Captain Marvel 1972 @320

Pianist Chick Corea had worked with tenor saxophonist Stan Getz in 1966-67. When Corea bumped into Getz in Spain around 1971, Corea proposed working with him again. So it's not surprising that when Getz returned to the U.S. in 1972 after several years in Europe, he picked Corea to play in his group for his first U.S. engagement. The group also included several of Corea's band mates—then-young bass prodigy Stanley Clarke and Brazillian percussionist Airto, plus the powerful percussion innovator, Tony Williams. After a three week live engagement in New York City, the group went into the studio on March 3rd, 1972 to record Captain Marvel.

The album featured five compositions by Chick Corea plus Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life." Several of Corea's tunes show a Spanish influence. Chick played Fender Rhodes using his distinctive percussive electric keyboard style—building up sounds via fast single line runs and repetition. Getz's playing is strong and inspired here. As he did here, Getz often worked younger musicians during the 1960s and 1970s and seemed to draw inspiration from their energy and often used their compositions as well.

This new, remastered edition includes two unissued alternates and one unissued tune ("Crystal Silence"), plus new liner notes by Chick Corea (plus the original notes) and is well worth hearing.

[Sidenote: Captain Marvel was recorded in between sessions for the first albums by Corea's group Return to Forever. RTF recorded their eponymous CD for ECM on February 2 & 3, 1972. One of the tunes on that album "Crystal Silence," is included here as a bonus track. Two of Corea's tunes that are on Captain Marvel—"500 Miles High" and the title track were later recorded for RTF's second album, Light as a Feather, which was recorded in October, 1972 for Polydor.]

Recorded at A&R Studios, New York, New York on March 3, 1972. Includes liner notes by Chick Corea, Albert Goldman. In the early 1970s, jazz tenor sax icon Stan Getz was clearly not standing still. While some other players of his generation were content to do (and re-do) what they'd done in the past, Getz got together with some of the best cutting-edge talent, all of whom (Corea, Williams, Moreira) had been in the bands of fellow legend Miles Davis. Also featured is Stanley Clarke, here only 20 years old and about to become one of the jazz fusion movement's biggest stars. Except for the lovely Billy Strayhorn ballad "Lush Life," all the compositions are by Corea, and would later on be heard in his own Return to Forever band. There's an infectious, joyous, Latin-tinged lilt to the tunes, which inspires Getz to some of the best playing of his career. His tone retains the "cool" by which he's been characterized--but he blows hot, too. Getz's playing on "500 Miles High" is focused ferocity. This album, unavailable for years, is one of Getz's (and Corea's) best.

Track listing:

1. La Fiesta (Corea) - 8:26
2. Five Hundred Miles High (Corea) - 8:12
3. Captain Marvel (Corea) - 5:09
4. Time's Lie (Corea/Potter) - 9:48
5. Lush Life (Strayhorn) - 4:16
6. Day Waves (Corea) - 9:43
7. Crystal Silence [*] (Corea/Porter) - 7:47
8. Captain Marvel [*] (Corea) - 5:18
9. Five Hundred Miles High [*] (Corea) - 9:29 // (* = bonus tracks)

Personnel:

Stan Getz (tenor sax)
Chick Corea (electric piano, Fender Rhodes)
Stanley Clarke (bass)
Tony Williams (drums)
Airto Moreira (percussion)

The size of the MP3 is well over E-mail size but soon I'll Have all of my Stan on Raipshare for download about 6GB of stuff and if I add with Chet Baker it will about 23GB of very cool music.Stay tune for all of that.
Rick

Thank you most kindly for that welcome. What a fab site, there's absolutely masses of stuff on here that I haven't seen before, can't wait to explore further.

Hi Beverly, I do agree it's sweet, but most of all you can imagine why I truly love the cover picture on the 'Stan Plays' album. I believe your brother must have been around that age. I never found out about the truth on this picture: one journalist stated he asked Stan where the toilets where, while another one told he wanted to give his dad a kiss... anyway, it's a magic shot!

Hi Bev, I found out this picture was taken by Phil Stern and here's the comment: He romanticizes nothing. Even some of his dreamiest, iconic pictures can come with a bubble-bursting back story. So be absolutely sure you want to know it. That sweet photo of Stan Getz and son gracing the cover of 1952's "Stan Getz Plays"? Isn't dad receiving an impromptu kiss? No, Stern says. "He wanted to know, 'Where's the potty?' "... Kind regards, Peter.

I don't know if you know this good video where we can see your father and the major part of the greatest tenor sax like : Coleman Hawkins, Don Byas, Barney Wilen, Guy Lafitte, Stan Getz (ts) and Martial Solal (p), Arvell Shaw (b), J. C. Heard (d) Live Broadcast, Cannes, France, July 13, 1958 . You can see more on the Official Barney Wilen site.

Unfortunatly, I cannot upload this video on your site, so to see it, you will must take the next words (you tube "sentence" and put them in the "YOU TUBE" web site.)

I think you will appreciate, your dad was great, the best !!!

Best regards!

Gérard

Dear Bev,

I send to Pascal SAVELON a postcard with the Stan Getz's stamp on. And he write this to me, I translate it for you :

" Hello Gérard,
I am back at home and I have just found your card in my letters box, what enormously pleased me. I like very much the choice of the blue as the dominant color of the stamp.
Thank you very much and I am going to allow to publish your card in "my photos" on this site.


There is a " Concerto for Stan Getz " of Richard Rodney Bennett (English composer), composed him appears at the request of Stan, a little bit before his death. There is a disk (and also a broadcast concert of the BBC) of this interpreted concerto I believe in 1992 by John Harle (saxophonist rather classic)... In my memories(souvenirs) (I had seen the concert on the TV), although John Harle is a good saxophonist, it was difficult to be able to compare him to Stan Getz.


To return to the jazz, there are very good there current tenors influenced by Stan whom I like very much: the American Harry Allen and English Jim Tomlinson (guide and husband of Stacy Kent)."

I would like to know Bev, if you know this " Concerto for Stan Getz" and if you know someone who can upload it on your fantastic web site ?
It'll be great for all the members !

Thanks for all, there's a good friendship between Pascal and I, we did'nt know themselves before but now, we are friends ...because your father made a "link" between us, you know this link which is "Sincerity", there's only reality in his music, you've done a really good job with this site, because this web site is really in his "spirit" ...only truth, friendship and complicity ! GREAT !!!!!! Big hug to you !!!!!!

Gérard

Bev,
This is what I find about the "Concerto for Stan Getz" :

Stan Getz (1927-90) was an American jazz saxophonist probably best remembered for his 1950s recordings with Dizzy Gillespie and Oscar Peterson.

But his musical interests were evidently not confined to jazz and, during a rehearsal with the Boston Pops Orchestra, he remarked that it was a pity he had no concerto to add to the concert arrangements of Gershwin tunes they were programmed to play. The suggestion that he should (like Benny Goodman before him) consider commissioning one came form the conductor of that particular concert, John Williams, as did the name of the composer most likely to relish the challenge of writing a 'classical' concerto for a jazz performer. For although first and foremost a composer of concert music, Richard Rodney Bennett is famed for the unusually broad scope of his musical interests; he is moreover a gifted performer, and his own keyboard repertoire shows him equally at ease with all twentieth-century musical styles - from jazz to the avant-garde.

So the match seemed ideal: Getz had found a composer whose stylistic sympathies appeared perfectly in tune with his own, and Bennett was offered the services of a performer eager to adapt to the demands of a 'crossover' undertaking of this kind. Indeed, Bennett's enthusiasm for the project was such that he began work as soon as the idea was mooted - long before any mention of a performance date, or even a fee for the commission. In the event there was neither, for Getz's illness meant that practical decisions were deferred, while the progress of the concerto continued unabated.

Despite the sadness occasioned by the death of its dedicatee, Concerto for Stan Gutz is a thoroughly celebratory tribute to the possibilities of using jazz harmonies in conjunction with the composer's own free-flowing serial technique. Surprisingly, this is the first crossover piece Bennett has written. Whereas his own Jazz Calendar (1964) was wholly jazz in idiom, the language of Concerto for Stan Gutz arouse out of a true cross-fertilisation of ideas, it is the successful balancing of contrasted linguistic elements that makes this work the offspring of a purposeful stylistic co-existence rather than some sort of hybrid monster- as were
most of the earliest attempts (by Mátyás Seibet, Don Banks and others) to combine jazz band and symphony orchestra.

In other words, there is no hint of any musical compromise at work here. Scored for tenor saxophone, timpani and stings, the melodic material is tightly organised throughout, quickly becoming associated with rhythmic patterns that make its often intricate development seem pleasingly straightforward and easy to follow: prominent amongst these are generally ''percussive" rat-a-tat motif, a string of ascending or descending triplets, and (with the first entry of the soloist) the beginnings of a generally more sustained idea arising out of the syncopated repetition of a single note.

These three motivic characters intermingle to form the main thematic material of the first movement, holding sway until a sudden drop in dynamics presages an abrupt change of mood: following the hectic and mainly detached articulation of the opening, the gently expressive and mainly legato phrasing of the second subject (introducing by the saxophone) initially masks the fact that it is a mirror image of the same melodic theme. It is not until the eventual return of his second subject (high on the violins and twice as slow) that the saxophone is set free to improvise around the underlying harmony before embarking on a cadenza whose decorations are entirely of the composer' s choosing (although he does offer the less demanding alternative of an undecorated line plus chord symbols).

The second movement, Ellegy, is a song without words in which the several verses of an imaginary lyric are set to the same serene sixteen-bar tune, sometimes freely decorated (it is in this movement that the improvisatory skills or the jazz performer are tested to the full), and always introduced, punctuated and concluded by a brief but passionate string sequence of downward-sliding fourths. Stated first by the saxophone, this tune is repeated intact and unadorned by the strings (violins, then cellos), but are now freely counterpointed by the soloist. An extended and more agitated interlude retrieves the tennote theme from the first movement - rising to a fast-dessolving climax as the elegaic tune returns in octaves on the violins and is moving repeated by the saxophone (at the original pitch but now entirely without decoration), as the movement draws to a hushed close.

It is typical of Bennett that melodic relationships of the kind noted at the outset should pertain not only within movements but from movement to movement throughout a work. So it is here. Just as the opening ten-note theme finds its way into the elegiac slow movement, so the same theme begins to make its presence ever more insistently felt over the course of the waltz-like finale. Moreover, despite the subtle alterations occasioned by this change of metre, from two (in the first movement) to three beats to the bar, several of its original rhythmic features remain recognisably intact - as does the original second-subject theme itself. This reappears in its entirety only towards the close- where it retains its first movement format of two beats to the bar against the prevailing waltz rhythm of the last as if to underline and finally complete the circle of melodic influence from beginning to end of the work as a whole.

Concerto for Stan Getz was completed in November 1990; it lasts about twenty-four minutes.

Dear Bev,

I intend for 2010 to create an event in homage to Stan! You must know that I've got many possibilities for that due to my job !
I would like to associate you with this project and maybe to make Hilde Hefte come and Pascal SAVELON on "French Riviera" !
Would you be interested to come for this event and first what do you think about this event?
Best regards!

Gérard

Dear Bev,

I am very happy that you have received my postcard !
I am so honored by what you said...Thanks so much !
As you see, Virtual ( your web site) give birth to real and friendship, a thing that Stan loved !

I will send you as soon as I can anothers presents, two more stamps ( a big and a small one) for the "future museum" and also a litography of my painting which was the Stan's stamps model !
For the event, all is possible, I know many people very influent ( BONO from the U2 music group is living here ).

Big hug to you, my friend!

Gérard

Hi Bev,

Hope all's well!

When you have a second, check your inbox - want to see if what I sent went through.

Thanks!

Matt

I got your E-mail and you can add what you think is best or all,I just thought it was some very good work by your Dad and know it are hard album to find and thought it should be shared if anyware, here!! The last cuts 9-12 are the one's nobody has, but it is album I come back to all the time it has passion by everyone on the album.....and thanks again Rick

Hey Bev, Sending our love to you and the pups. Whew! You really put on one hell of a tan this summer. You look good. A little like a lobster, but good.lol Eva said, please, always wear lots of sun block and a cap or straw hat when exposed to the sun. She learned the hard way after having had surgery for skin cancer 3 years ago. The sun is not our friend anymore! Its amazing you put 76 Albums on Stans Myspace page, plus 95 songs on the player. That sure is a lot of albums. Quincy Jones only has 31 and he practically lives in the studio. Continue the great work. Im sure Dads loving all you've done in keeping his music alive and well. - xoxoxo Hugs to you, Stella and Petey, Eva and Lou

Thanks Bev for putting up this wonderful site. The Lotus in the front page is a great symbol for the feeling I always get hearing your father play. The Lotus ... the most beautiful of plants always seems to grow and thrive with great self composure and apparent tranquility in the midst of the muddiest swamp. To make beautiful music in the midst of lifes onslaught is a rare and precious treasure. Thank you again for this very refreshing and inspiring site. Joseph

Hello Joseph,
I agree with you about what you said for the Lotus. The Lotus in the front of your personal page, Bev, makes me thinking of "Serenity", "Silence", "Meditation"....I saw many of them in the magnificent garden of KYOTO ( Japan). I went there, in this marvelous Japan, and now, I Know why Japanese people loved Stan!
This music is very deep, very cool and make people think about who they are..about who we are...his music is an UNIVERSAL Music, his language was "unique" but totally "UNIVERSAL" that is why there are so many people like us loving him ! Gérard

Thank you Joseph & Gerard for such beautiful comments! They gave me a warm heart and big smile this morning.. which I needed! Timing was perfect!
THANK YOU! ((~:
XOXO

Bought this Album my first year of College at Bradley University... was sick with Mono and was confined to classes and to my dorm room with my Focus Album and Jimmy Smiths "The Cat" Album... everyone else was listening to the Beatles and Pop... and I had Pan and Her, I'm Late, I'm Late...Night Rider, Summer Afternoon... and then Jimmy Smith...The Cat playing.... and made a lot of converts. Guys would just drift into my room and sit and listen and then go on about their day... wow..cool... who is that??? Hadn't thought of those days for quite some time... and this song took me immediately... to that room and to my youth and dreams of my youth. Thanks Bev. Her is still one of my all time favorites ...Eddie Sauter along with your Dad... what a rare and fine mix. That your Dad played these songs basically off the top of his head, improvised... is the part that still astounds me. Wow again... I've read in interviews that this was your Dads all time favorite album... certainly one of mine as well... Thank you for the memories.

Bev,

I met Livio Zanellato and Silvano Manco last week-end in Italy near SAN REMO, like they are very good musicians ( as you can see in the two videos I added in this web site) I ask them to join us in the "Stan Getz community"...what they did...and you will be very pleased to know that they will come for our event "Tribute to Stan Getz" in summer 2010! I think, this is a good thing no...two new members and a similar project, playing together for Stan Getz memory !
Gérard

Honoured to be with you Bev...Love Stan!!!

Here is a little gem I thought you may enjoy.. ;-)

Helen Merril Just Friends with Stan Getz (1989)

Credits:
Stan Getz (ts) Joachim Kuhn (p) Jean-Francois Jenny-Clark (b) Daniel Humair (d) Helen Merrill (vo) Torrie Zito (p) (track 06),

Tracklist:

01 Cavatina
02 It Never Entered My Mind
03 Just Friends
04 It Don't Mean A Thing
05 Yesterdays
06 Music Makers
07 Baby Ain't I Good To You
08 It's Not Easy Being Green
09 If You Go Away

"Recognized as one of the country's great jazz singers, Helen Merrill is also one of the least known, except to aficionados. In this remarkable album from 1989, Merrill, then almost sixty years old, teams up with Stan Getz to record a stunning exhibition of improvisational jazz. Her mature voice is rich and powerful, but she retains a sweetness that allows her to be whispery, melancholy, pensive, or sexy without sounding "thin" or fragile. The timbre of Getz's sax blends perfectly with her alto to create a double-barreled melodic line, and their individual talents at improvisation lead to interpretations of immense creativity. The album is Merrill's, however, with Getz supporting but not overpowering her, remembering always that he is the talented guest on the album. The songs encompass many moods. "Cavatina," written by Cleo Laine, is soft, slow, and wonderfully romantic, and Getz's variations build on the romance. "It Never Entered My Mind" shows Merrill's control, as she almost whispers the lyrics, creating a pensive, moody ballad with fresh sounds and interpretations. By contrast, "Just Friends" is upbeat and quick, and "It Don't Mean a Thing," an Ellington song, is wild and swingy, with a terrific piano solo (Joachim Kuhn) to continue the melodic variations introduced by Getz. "Baby, Ain't I Good to You" gets the slow, sexy treatment, while Jacques Brel's "If You Go Away," so often a song of agony and passion, is introduced by Getz's solo sax and becomes quiet and melancholy here, moodier and less threatening than most other interpretations. The climax is "Yesterdays," a song so filled with improvisation that it is sometimes difficult to recognize the original melody. Merrill stays in the background here as Getz and bassist Jean-Francois Jenny-Clark go to town creating a fresh sound for this standard. Impeccable in its musical presentation and very dramatic in its originality, this album sets the standard for collaboration between two jazz stars who obviously respect each other and their medium--and it may be Merrill's best album." Mary Whipple

"This CD is wonderful. Merrill and Getz compliment each other lyrically and stylistically. Being a Getz fan over the years, I found the connection with Merrill and her voice and style a great treat. Too bad there aren't more collaborations between these two."

Hi Bev,
I just found this site .. I am happy to join, because Stan was and is a great influence in my musical life.
I don't know if you remember me. I met you at the Irvington house when I went there in regards to doing a project with you. I don't remember what happened, but the project never materialized. In any event good luck with the site.
All the best,

"But Beautiful"
Live in Belgium 1974
I need a confirmation, that this -its on a CD- Concert was never released officially.
Its very importend, because in some weeks there will be a legal courtcase against this pirate.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you in advance
best regards
Peter

Hi Bev;

Thought I'd take a chance that we might get in touch again.  Found this on Google.

Hope to hear from you.  You might need a bit of a prod (London many, many years ago).
