Saxophonist Wiszniewski and pianist-composer Stevenson were the hit of last year's Edinburgh Jazz festival with their revival of Stan Getz's 1961 masterpiece, Focus, for tenor saxophone and strings. The result was a commission to produce their own work for the same format to be unveiled at this year's London Jazz festival, and this is it. Although by no means a Getz copyist, Wiszniewski has a ravishingly beautiful tone and Stevenson's scores for string quartet, harp and rhythm section amount to much more than mere accompaniment. Combining jazz and classical idioms is a tricky business, but this succeeds splendidly.Title: New Focus
