STAN GETZ

Focus
I Remember When

OK this is cheating. Instead of a big band it’s a big string orchestra. But it’s a wonderful recording. Recorded a couple of years before his exploration into bosa nova , Focus, written by the arranger Eddie Sauter and featuring tenor saxophonist Stan Getz, is one of Getz’s very best recordings. The first time he saw or heard the score was at the recording session. This was a remarkable time for jazz,. this recording being made only a year after the legendary Miles Davis recording of Kind Of Blue., the same year as the Great Gil Evans, Out Of the Cool and many more
