Stan Getz Plays Music from the Soundtrack of Mickey One is a 1965 studio album by Stan Getz arranged by Eddie Sauter of their music for the soundtrack of the 1965 film Mickey One.
[2] Billboard chose the album as their 'Soundtrack Spotlight' in their November 6, 1965 issue and wrote that "Getz's alto sax [sic] conjures up the feeling of a big city and the loneliness, excitement, despair, and frustrations of those who live in it.
[4] Stephen Cook reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that Getz was "well-prepared for the demanding task of soloing atop expansive movie soundtrack charts...Amidst Sauter's kaleidoscopic and mercurial backdrop, Getz offers up a fine mix of fluid improvisation and solo commentary.
Never overpowered by the, at times, monumental full-band outbursts, Getz is able to remain poised and even break through the walls of sound with vigorous yet cogent statements of his own".
[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings describes the album as “a formidable piece of work.”[3] All compositions by Eddie Sauter.
