Let's end the week with a bunch of Stan Getz videos that went up at YouTube fairly recently:
Here's I'll Remember April, recorded in Stockholm with Jim McNeely (p), George Mraz (b) and Victor Lewis (d) on a warm evening in 1983...
Here's the same group on the same date playing Billy Strayhorn's Blood Count, with an emotionally moved Chet Baker on stage...
Here's Stan Getz in Copenhagen playing Antonio Carlos Jobim's Wave...
Here's Getz on Late Night With David Letterman in 1985....
And I'll add this one uploaded in 2009 by Bev Getz, Stan's daughter, featuring Flora Purim (v), Stanley Cowell (p), Miroslav Vitous (b), and Jack DeJohnette (d) from 1969...
