He has the roundest sound. It is like he blows bubbles, paying just as much attention to the back end of the note as to the front.

Youtube is down for me right now or I would link it.

What artists do when they know they are about to die... ...No less awesome were the performances of Billy Strayhorn's "Blood Count" that the great jazz saxophonist Stan Getz gave when he was dying of cancer, one of which was filmed and can be viewed on YouTube. "Blood Count" is itself a miniature deathbed masterpiece, a dark minor-key ballad written at the very end of Strayhorn's own life, and Getz played it with a keening desperation that speaks with terrible eloquence of that which was to come.
