Stan Getz's Focus stands as one of the most artistically daring and unconventional projects in the legendary saxophonist's catalog, representing his personal favorite among all his recordings. This 1961 collaboration with composer Eddie Sauter broke new ground by departing radically from traditional jazz "with strings" conventions, featuring contrapuntal writing, rhythmic complexity, and harmonic ambiguity that challenged both artist and listener.
Recorded at Webster Hall in New York City, Focus showcases Getz weaving lyrical, instinctive lines throughout Sauter's sophisticated arrangements in an entirely unedited and unrehearsed approach. This Verve Vault Series reissue delivers exceptional audiophile quality through AAA mastering by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound and pressing on 180-gram vinyl at Germany's renowned Optimal facility, preserving every nuance of this groundbreaking musical collaboration.
