Dick Linclon recommended Stan Getz FOCUS lp.  Let me second the
recommendation--it is a beautiful, lyrical lp.  

I'd also like to answer some of Dick's questions and correct some of
his recollections.  

It was recorded for Verve records in the early sixties
and was available in stereo.  I don't know if it has been reissued yet, 
but many of the old Verve lps are being reissued for release here; if not,
it might be available as a Japanese import.  Try J&R Music's Jazz Emporium
on Park Row in NYC, or Tower records on Broadway and W. 4th.  The people
who work there (particularly at J&R) are usually very helpful.

Rather than a full orchestra, it had Getz on tenor, a string section (two
string quartets, as I recall), and a drummer (brushes only).  The string
section was entirely written, and Getz part was purely improvised on top 
of the strings.  All pieces were written by Sauter.  Sauter and Getz also
got together for the score for the movie Mickey One (mid-sixties) with
less interesting results
