Great show as usual!   Thank God he was able to get away from the overly busy Goodman, and write music without BG barging into every second of his arrangements.

There wasn't much room left for him with the Mildred Bailey stuff either. Getz made up for his bad side by letting Eddie write what he wanted on Focus and Mickey-One, one of my fave films of all time.

Eddie Sauter was the responsible band leader for the former german radio station SWF (Südwest Funk) Baden-Baden for some years after Kurt Edelhagen had left the station to mgo to tthe WDR. The SWF station was later merged with radio Stuttgart (Süddeutscher Rundfunk).The new station is SWR.

 

Hey JC, yes, I briefly mention this in the show and include a 1957 SWF band recording of his composition  "Tropic of Kommingen,"
