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 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. The Verve Vault Series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47482299580633,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/0858\/4864\/files\/Screenshot2025-11-08at4.35.48PM.png?v=1762641356","url":"https:\/\/10000hzrecords.com\/products\/stan-getz-focus-verve-vault-series-lp","provider":"10,000 Hz Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
