Despite the commercial success that he had throughout his life, Stan Getz (1927-91) always kept his mind open towards adding new material and modernizing his style, never coasting.

One associates “Seven Steps To Heaven” with Miles Davis and Victor Feldman, but Getz added the song to his repertoire during his last years, sounding quite comfortable with the uptempo piece.

From July 18, 1990, 11 months before his death, Getz romps through the Victor Feldman piece in a quartet with pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Alex Blake, and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington.

Getz’s beautiful tone was still very much intact as was his unending flow of creative ideas.
