Reviews & Discussion
If I were to be banished from humanity, destined to live out my life on a deserted island but given the opportunity to select one compact disc to spend the rest of my days with... without a doubt that disc would be "FOCUS". The combined genius of Eddie Sauter and Stan Getz leaves every other recorded musical genre in second, nah scratch that, 3rd, 4th or 5th would be a more likely placement. After "FOCUS" there is no other recording (IMHO) that conveys as much sensitivity creativity or emotional integrity... hence the fatality of second place. Although its 50th anniversary is on the horizon, this recording sounds as fresh today as it did when this old man was enchanted by and seduced by the musicality of life.
