The Girl From Ipanema Getz/Gilberto/Jobim on Tenor Sax Posted by: crazydaisydoo
Video duration: 227 seconds STEREO = http://uk.youtube.co m/watch?v=PJcjqgekeZ I&fmt=18 Who can play or hear this without thinking of Stan Getz? I have been struggling on this, the bridge chords are hard to improvise over so I play that bit mainly straight, but the rest is good fun. The reed was getting a bit tired and buzzy, but I just managed a good take before it went, sorry for odd fluffed note.
