Quotes » Stan Getz

"There are four qualities essential to a great jazzman. They are taste, courage, individuality, and irreverence.

These are the qualities I want to retain in my music."

"My life is music, and in some vague, mysterious and subconscious way, I have always been driven by a taut inner spring which has propelled me to almost compulsively reach for perfection in music, often - in fact, mostly - at the expense of everything else in my life. - Stan Getz

Album: Stan Getz Quartet with Chet Baker – Quintessence, volume II


Stan Getz Quartet with Chet Baker – Quintessence, volume II

Album review ~allmusic.com
It’s regrettable that Stan Getz and Chet Baker disliked one another personally, for they had so much in common musically. Both came out of jazz’s Cool School, had delightful tones, favored subtlety and restraint, and both could be incredibly lyrical — no jazzman has played ballads more beautifully than Getz or Baker. Recorded live in Norway in 1983 but not released commercially until 2000, Quintessence, Vol. 2 offers a rare chance to hear them co-leading a quintet.
