Scottish based muicians Wiszniewski (saxophones) and Stevenson (piano) collaborate on “New Focus” (Whirlwind Recordings, 2012), a contemporary update of Stan Getz’s 1961 orchestral album “Focus”.
The set of original tunes features the co-leaders with Michael Janisch (double bass), Alyn Cosker (drums) plus the Glasgow String Quartet and guest harpist Alina Bzhezhinska.
Follow up “New Focus On Song” released on Whirlwind in August 2016 featuring many of the same personnel.
"Excellent writing and arranging combine to create an adventurous, well programmed album. "

"Another impressive offering from the team of Stevenson & Wiszniewski. If anything the synthesis between the three different strands of jazz, classical and folk is even more successful this time round."
