Stephen Ashworth replied to Daniela D'Ercole's discussion 'Parker 51'

Stan Getz "never really composed anything"? Tunes I've found attributed to him on the CDs in my collection are: Sweetie Pie (Gold Dejavu Retro Collection, CD1) Ah-Moore (ditto) Stan's Blues (Live at Montmartre, vol.1) Each of these has a head, be…

About me:

I play a vintage silver C-melody tenor sax in a weekly jam session in an Oxford pub, and occasional gigs with other local musicians. My playing varies between mediochre and dreadful. Looking for inspiration to make progress ...

12 June: new sax arrived. I now also play a brand new C-tenor made by Aquilasax. Trying to emulate Stan's smooth tone. Long way to go ...

Well I am not surprised to learn that Oxford has jazz friends.

Your query got me looking all over my fakebooks and unfortunately I could not find anything on the chord changes. Same thing for the composer.
On the Roost Quartets date from May 17 1950 the composer is listed as "Wood". From a radio broadcast from Birdland Nov 13 1952 "Getz" is listed as composer. Also from the Hi-Hat radio broadcast March 8 1953 "Getz-Loeb" is listed. So a I would say this is really confusing (-:
By the way right now listening to the version played at the Carnegie Hall concert in Nov 14 1952 and it is wonderful.

I will try to find more info. If I come up with something I will let you know.

Welcome
Denis
