Focus pairs Getz's expressive tenor saxophone with a string orchestra conducted by Hershy Kay. Getz's parts were entirely improvised, as he navigated pre-composed frameworks with melodic invention and emotional clarity. The album represents a true collaboration between composer\/arranger Eddie Sauter and Getz, and a radical departure from the conventions of jazz \"with strings\" albums of the time. Sauter's charts emphasize contrapuntal writing, rhythmic complexity, and harmonic ambiguity, while Getz — unedited and unrehearsed in the traditional sense — weaves a lyrical, instinctive line throughout. The result remains one of the most original and artistically daring projects in Getz's recorded legacy; the artist's favorite of all the records he made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Late, I'm Late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Remember When\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce Upon a Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummer Afternoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"180g LP","offer_id":44085808726131,"sku":null,"price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/81P65wNAoxL._SL1500.jpg?v=1763061876","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/stan-getz-focus-verve-vault-series","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
