I am still ironing out the wrinkles...in my brain..lol but FREE is the majic word;)

At 10:01pm on June 28, 2008, Joan DesCarpentier said…: lol I'm ironing...in fact I am steaming like an iron! lol By that I mean steam is coming out of my ears trying to fully understand this Anatomy and Physiol. stuff. I am too old for this, and too young to quit..and too tired to care...but pressed to finish so much by midnight tomorrow. Then is when I turn in to a pumpkin or lose my slipper or slip and fall...something of the sort..lol. OHH haaaaa....no camera.... I have never believed in cameras..LOL My mom said i used to scream and run when I saw a camera and nothings changed in all these years ha ha ha;)
I will keep ya posted. Have a great Sunay and say a prayer for my sanity sake..lol. These bodies of ours are quite intricate, but really when I get it...finally....I am facinated. I think TOO much is really my problem. I just need to learn it and quit trying to figure it out.:))

I'm located in Norway, Kristiansand.
I can "hear" Stan Getz playing, so sorry to hear that this project was too late for the two of them, but the idea is great so I'm glad you didn't just put it away!!!!!

At 1:59am on June 30, 2008, Hilde Hefte said…: No, it's Egil Kapstad playing piano on all the tracks.
And he's the one who also did all the music arrangements on the CD where I'm singing with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (the sample from that CD here is For Heaven''s Sake).
He's a fine pianist, right? I adore his playing.

At 5:41pm on July 1, 2008, Joan DesCarpentier said…: I love the song:) It saddens my heart that Stan didn't get to participate in the making, but somehow I am sure he was there in spirit as well as peoples hearts abroad. Thank you for sharing Arthur and have a wonderful evening. I am taking a break then back to the books...well book...It is a library and wealth of information all in one. :))

At 3:28am on July 2, 2008, Hilde Hefte said…: Hi again.
No, there's no tracks with me playing the piano.
Sorry :-))
I notice you've uploaded Jewel - I can't turn my speakers on where I'm sitting now. I'll be back SOON - can't wait to listen to it.
Love
Hilde

Body and Soul - this track is one of his best I think. And I believe it was from his first recording with his own quartet, late 40's or early 50's.

Small World was done in 1988. Stan was Dir. of Jazz Studies at Stanford at that time. He had asked Huey Lewis to perform for a Children with Cancer Benefit there. Huey said of course he would come and asked Stan to be on his next CD (Small World) in return. At least that's how I remember the story! Stan loved doing it.!
