A young apricot las from Connecticut once looked at me and said jazz was invented in New York. I thought... This person is confused.

why he doesn't make my pantheon, but he's got some fingering abilities that do elevate his play to renowned professional... for me, if your name is on the cover, your musicians should never upstage you, and that happens with Stan from time to time... great, relaxing sax play though... he's to be appreciated and enjoyed...

The thing I like about Getz
Feb 11, 2021, 10:56 AM

is that he has a very unique tone with his sax. He also fools you with his simplicity of playing. When you first listen to him you think smooth jazz. But played side by side, he is light years ahead those guys. And, you know his sound when he is playing. He is not afraid to let others in the group shine. Finally, Getz is relaxing.
Most of the time Coltrane makes me work to listen to him. With a group Coltrane, in my opinion, is forcing me to listen to him. IMO, the difference between Getz and Coltrane is like the difference between Monk and Bill Evans...

I cannot recall any sax player with the intensity

musicianship, and accuracy of Coltrane... when he reaches for the peak of a note, he gets it without falling flat or going sharp; straight down the middle but with that strain of pulling that note to the edge of its range...
He maximized EVERY note a sax could play!!
By the way, new york wouldn't be what it is without us southern transplants... they are ignorant of their roots! LOL

The only reason that Chicago and New York

are thought of as the centers of jazz is because of the great migration of african americans in the early 1900's. If it wasn't for institutional racism in the south the majority of them would have never left. And when they got to Chicago and New York they faced a different set of institutional racism. Now the musicians could make money they just had to do it in specific settings/clubs. Also, many jazz greats left for europe and simply never returned.
