About
Stan Getz follows Gerry Mulligan with two choruses on baritone sax, completing the solo section. Taken at a medium-up swing tempo of 149 BPM over the 32-bar AABA in F, the improvisation unfolds with comfortable, easygoing swing. Getz, on baritone, brings his legendary lightness of touch to the larger horn, his two choruses revealing a different tonal dimension while maintaining the lyrical fluency that defined his artistry. Recorded for the album Getz Meets Mulligan in Hi-Fi in 1957, the performance captures Stan Getz at 29 to 30 years old. The rhythm section of Lou Levy on piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Stan Levey on drums provides swinging support throughout.
Stan Getz was 29 to 30 years old at the time.
