Doug Ramsey's Rifftides blog today has a YouTube clip of a 1960 Dusseldorf performance of Hackensack by Stan Getz and John Coltrane together!

Great clip! Thanks!

Wow! Is it possible to download just the audio from a YouTube clip? I'd love to have this in my collection!

I use a program called "Total Recorder". It can record any audio from the internet. I then transfer the recorded audio to CD-R using Windows Media Player.

The clip that's "floating around the internet" can be bought on the superb Jazz Icons DVD. Unlike some music DVDs I find I tend to play the Jazz Icon ones more as they usually capture excellent performances. They also either clean up the video better than competing sources or are closer to the master, as evident by the Monk and Mingus DVDs (which had been previously released.) The Coltrane (surprise) is highly recommended.

I've seen this before. Oscar Peterson is also on this, and his group, if I'm not mistaken. I'm a big Getz fan but he looks (operative word looks, not sounds) like he didn't know what hit him on this. A Trane hit him. To his credit, he never yielded to temptations of trends or popularity, just stayed Getz to the end and got deeper, more muscular, more emotional.
