Last concert appearance of Stan Getz and Chet Baker

Hi all,

About 7 years ago I had an email exchange with Chet Baker's biographer who was interested in my recollections of a "concert" that took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 1983. Following is the information that I provided.

In case anyone is interested ...

Cheers,

Tenor Conclave Transcriptions

I have transcribed all four soloists playing Tenor Conclave. These solos are an excellent way to learn four different approaches to "I Got Rhythm" changes. This week I have added Zoot Sims's solo to my website:

http://scooby-sax.com/transcriptions.aspx

I will add one new solo per week -- up next is Al Cohn.

Enjoy!

My childhood days with Stan

My name is Irving (Bob) Mesher. I am 85 years of age and a childhood friend of Stan. I lived at 1449 Minford Pl. and Stan lived at 1453 Minford Pl. in the South Bronx. At the age of 14, I was part of a neighborhood trio. Stan at that time was fooling around with a harmonica. He was interested in joining our group and wanted to play drums. I told him we already had a drummer but in need of a sax player. He got his parents to buy him a sax and when he received it, he…

Feb 2, 1927 - June 6, 1991

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… Continue

Stan Getz on jazz: “It’s like a language. You learn the alphabet, which are the scales. You learn sentences, which are the chords. And then you talk extemporaneously with the horn. It’s a wonderful thing to speak extemporaneously, which is something I’ve never gotten the hang of. But musically I love to talk just off the top of my head. And that’s what jazz music is all about."

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. - Aldous Huxley Continue

New Music, New site, New Sounds, New Perspective on Life

Peace,

Some may call this an abrupt change, I call it personal evolution. It's strange that I would shake things up so early in the game of our recent success of our radio mix show "Generation Next w/ DJ Pete Marriott" but after our more recent "24 Hours to Give: Marathon mix for Haiti" Broadcast weekend I had a calling to use my skills as a DJ/Record Producer for the greater good and so began a combined convergence in which the… Continue
