Stan Getz
Tenor Sax Solo on
With the Wind and the Rain in Your Hair

About

Stan Getz opens with two choruses on tenor sax, the first of two solos, followed by Jimmy Rowles on piano. Taken at an up-tempo swing tempo of 180 BPM over the 32-bar AABA in E♭, the improvisation flows with assured, relaxed momentum. Stan Getz delivers an expansive two-chorus tenor saxophone solo over the 32-bar AABA form, followed by a full-chorus piano solo from Jimmy Rowles. Recorded for the album Stan Getz Plays in 1952, the performance captures Stan Getz at 24 to 25 years old. This performance stands as one of the more substantial tracks on Stan Getz Plays, offering a generous window into the improvisational thinking of two exceptional jazz musicians.

Stan Getz was 24 to 25 years old at the time.
