Tim Garland - ReFocus

One of the UK's finest saxophonists, and a member of Chick Corea's legendary band, Tim Garland has taken the classic Stan Getz album with strings Focus from 1961 and created a reworking for our time.This is not a slavish recreation, or an attempt at nostalgia, but the result of a creative mind working in the spirit of the album, and with the legacy of a great artist.It is not just the spirit of Focus I wished to pay homage to on this album, but the experimental urges of the early 1960s that were heard in jazz, film music, and the classical world - fuelled by romanticism and the burgeoning psychedelia of the new decade.
