Forest Eyes is an album by saxophonist Stan Getz featuring compositions by Jurre Haanstra, several of which featured in Bert Haanstra's film "Een Pak Slaag", which was recorded in 1979 and originally released on the Dutch CBS label.[1] [2]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The great tenor is in his usual professional form but none of the themes are all that memorable and his backing is pretty anonymous. It's not one of the essential Stan Getz albums". Doug Payne observed "Getz is typically lovely from start to finish. But brief as it is, Forest Eyes sadly never offers that one compositional moment that makes you feel this is anywhere near as significant as something like Focus".[3]
