This is quite possibly the most important string work ever composed for and recorded by a jazz musician. Eddie Sauter'sscore defies all categorization.

Similar to Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, each movement presents a unique mood ready to transport the listener to a fairytale scene. Unlike other commerical and jazz soloist with string compositions, this piece features almost no written part for the soloist. While there are guidelines and cues for the soloist (and sporadic written melodies) this piece requires the soloist to blend with the orchestra and imagine (through improvisation) the "missing" part.

Would you like to help?
To continue supporting Stan Getz 's legacy, we'd like to ask for your help in locating great live recordings, photos, and other media you may have, so they can be heard by everyone, and preserved. Perhaps you or one of your friends attended a Stan Getz concert and recorded it or shot photos or video of it.
If you'd like to contribute any of those things, we'll properly credit you as the contributor. (Or you can remain anonymous to the public if you prefer.)
It would be tragic if audio, video, and photos of Stan simply remained hidden in someone's closet, when all the fans would love to hear and see this material. Simply email us and we'll discuss the best way to send the media. Small files can be sent via email, and larger files can be sent on CD, for example.
Thank you for helping us to keep Stan's legacy thriving!
