HELLO AGAIN...THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS BEV....THEY ALWAYS SAY "BIRD LIVES" BUT STAN GETZ "LIVES TO" I DONT KNOW IF HE EVER FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE IMPACT HIS MUSIC HAD ON A LOT, A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE IN EUROPE, SEVERAL GENERATIONS ARE STILL BUYING HIS RECORDS ( CD`S AND SOLO`S ON SHEET MUSIC PAPER)HE REALY WAS THE SOUND OF THE SIXTIES ,SEVENTIES AND EVEN THE EIGHTIES..( PEOPLE TIME...ANNIVERSERY... ETC...)ON TENOR SAX.... THE STUDENTS ON THE EUROPEAN COSERVATORIES ALL WANTED TO PLAY LIKE MICHEL BRECKER...BUT THAN AGAIN THEY ALL SWITCHED TO THE SOUND OF STAN GETZ.....STRANGE ISNT IT?...WEL NOT FOR ME. EVEN JOHN COLTRANE MENTIONED IN AN INTERVIEUW,,,.."WE ALL...EVERYBODY REALY WANTS TO SOUND LIKE GETZ..." THAT SAYS ENOUGH ABOUT THE LYRICAL WAY STAN GETZ PLAYED.!! I THINK THAT TROUGH HIS MUSIC..I HAVE MOST OF IT.. I CAN SAY THAT I KNEW HIM, AND INSPITE OF THE NEGATIVE MOMENTS IN HIS LIVE ( WE ALL HAVE THEM BELIEVE ME..WHEN YOU WANT TO STAY UPRIGHT IN THE MUSIC BUISSENES...ESPECIALLY THE JAZZ SCENE THE TEMPTATIONS ARE VERY BIG. AND I AM NOT EVEN A PROFFESIONAL) I AM CONVINCED THAT HE WAS A VERY SENSITIVE MAN....AND THEY ARE OFTEN NOT THE EASIEST PEOPLE TO LIVE WITH....WHILE WRITING THESE WORDS THE LYRICAL MUSIC OF THE FOCUS ALBUM TRACK "HER" FILLES MY STUDIE...I DEDICATE THIS MUSIC TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.....GOD BLESS AND MANY GREETINGS FROM HOLLAND EUROPE....THEO URFF.
