Peter Friedman Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 The clay feet of many jazz (and other) legendary musicians is all too common. I recall the story about when Philly Joe Jones took a band to Japan. He did not pay them, flew back to the USA and left the members of his group stranded there in Japan.

Dmitry Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Not a very good singer, in my opinion. Just happened to be in the right place, as fate would have it. Also not sure I see her being 'the face of bossa nova"....maybe in America in 1964 she was. Edited February 21, 2022 by Dmitry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 from what I know I've always thought Getz was a sociopath. And among other things, Bill Evans' wife said that on tours Getz would hit on the wives of the other musicians. Truthfully, as many of you know, I've never liked his playing, without even knowing about his personality. To me tonally he sounds narcissistic, as though when he is playing he is gazing at himself in the mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
