This unusual piece for quartet is dedicated to Stan Getz, one of the most-beloved tenor saxophonists of the 20th Century.Ā
"whatever Stan wants"Ā has a warm, original theme with a jazz flavor.Ā Bob Mintzer's compositional influence may be evident to some listeners.Ā There is a brief optional ad-lib solo for your tenor player. Ā AnĀ alternative written solo is also provided.
"Stan"Ā was composed to be programmed both as a stand-alone piece and in suite with its two sister works, "Paquito de Habana"Ā and "Mancini digs that mambo".
