Getz and Gilberto Getz/Gilberto

摘要

Stan Getz may have been good at many things in 1954 but robbery sure wasn't one of them. Strung out on smack and desperate for a fix, the hot young jazz saxophonist found himself eight days into a tour, standing outside a drugstore in Seattle. He took a deep breath and burst right in, shouting that he had a gun, and demanded they hand over all the narcotics the staff could lay their hands on. Mary Brewster, the lady behind the counter, looked Stan up and down. Then she laughed and turned to another customer. 'Does he look like he got a gun?' The customer gave Stan the once over. 'Lady,' he said, 'He ain't got no gun.'
