Stan Getz
Tenor Sax Solo on
That Old Feeling

About

Stan Getz contributes two choruses on tenor sax, the second of 3 solos on the recording. Taken at an up-tempo swing tempo of 185 BPM over the 32-bar ABAC in D, the improvisation flows with assured, relaxed momentum. Stan Getz follows with two choruses on tenor, his luminous tone and effortless swing restoring the instrument pairing that listeners expected from these two masters. Recorded for the album Getz Meets Mulligan in Hi-Fi in 1957, the performance captures Stan Getz at 29 to 30 years old. Sammy Fain's 1937 composition provides an attractive harmonic framework, its ABAC form offering more variety than the AABA structure that dominates the standard repertoire.

Stan Getz was 29 to 30 years old at the time.
