Addendum - Telling it like it is

10 June 2004 @ 12:52 pm
Saxophonist Joshua Redman on Stan Getz:

"He's one of the greatest lyric voices and melodists in jazz. He always sounds like he's singing a song...

He could play any tune in any key at any tempo-sometimes ridiculously fast tempos-with command, control and a sense of relaxation...

More than anything, Stan's music is about natural, unforced, uncontrived beauty. EVERYTHING HE PLAYED WAS BEAUTIFUL."
