![]() ![]() Jazz writer Ted Gioia doesn't mince his words. Now, in “New Standards” it’s déjà vu all over again: there is a track here called “Legacy featuring the ‘Sound’ of Stan Getz”, with "sample programming" credited to Jochem van der Saag, making use of “ sample notes to create this brand new melody never before played by Stan.” Getz's heirs have authorised the sampling, and G expresses his thanks to “Monica, Bev and Nick and the Stan Getz Estate for their support in me writing and recording” it. Guitarist Pat Metheny, for example, called it “a new low point in modern culture – something that we all should be totally embarrassed about – and afraid of.” Turn the clock back to 1999 and the album Classics in the Key of G, and we hear Seattle-born G, né Gorelick, playing over the classic Louis Armstrong recording of “What a Wonderful World”. There is quite some history of antagonism here.
