Stan Getz is to blame for the world financial crisis, according to the daily Stockholm newspaper, Dagens Nyheter. The Swedish paper concluded that things might have been different had former Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan, also a reed player, pursued a musical career.
In a recent New York Times interview, Greenspan said, "I actually enjoyed the clarinet the best, but I was a fairly good amateur, but a moderate professional. But what really did me in is I had, as an amateur, had to play next to Stan Getz. I was sixteen; he was fifteen. [After hearing Getz play] I decided, 'Do I really want to be in this business?'"
