This aptly titles trio performance aligns alto saxman Tabnik with bassist Cameron Brown and drummer Carol Tristano, all committed to music shaped by the moment's inspiration. Still, they can pursue uncharted paths with confidence and music vocabulary rooted in past moments of the jazz experience. Thematically, the lines created by Tabnik are free of conventional melodic movement but they are not without structure and purpose. Both Brown and Tristano provide a steady pulse to nourish Tabnik's freer excursions and Brown goes beyond his support role to bring form and color to each piece. Except for one track which flashes back to Lester Young's fluid solo sound on Cahn/Chaplin's Shoe Shine Boy, all this music develops collectively on Tabnik originals.

This exemplary four-disc box takes the high road, attempting nothing less than an honest reconstruction of the Who's stormy, adventurous, uneven pilgrimage. While offering an evenhanded cross-section of single hits and classic album tracks, 30 Years garnishes the expected high points with B-sides, alternate and live versions of familiar tracks, and the quartet's earliest singles as the High Numbers…

With the support of the American State Department, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, including new members Joe Morello and Eugene Wright, began a major tour of Europe early in 1958. Their first concert in the Netherlands was held on 26 February in the legendary Concertgebouw Hall in Amsterdam, usually reserved for performances of classical music. Since 1951 and the collaboration between Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond, the band had gained a stunning reputation. In 1954, Dave Brubeck was featured on the cover of Time magazine. Rumor has it that Duke Ellington knocked on Brubeck’s hotel door to congratulate him. Brubeck is said to have responded, “It should have been you.” He dedicated one of his most famous pieces, “The Duke”, included on this album, to his fellow pianist.
