Canzone di Cole Porter, Con L’accompagnamento Del Dave Brubeck Quartet. Un Assolo al Sassofono di Paul Desmond

The Dave Brubeck Quartet featuring the Bach Collegium Munich in concert in Frankfurt's Alte Oper on 13th November 2004. Brubeck presented a blend of jazz and classical music sometimes swinging, sometimes cool and jazzy. Fugues and the blues, waltzes and ragtime forge a unique alliance.

This is one of the greatest recordings in jazz history, 'Time out', held in 1959 in New York by the quartet led by the great American pianist Dave Brubeck (California, 1920-2012). This album reached over a million and a half copies sold and accounted for the final consecration of Brubeck Quartet with a definitive work that laid the foundation for what would become jazz fusion, based on the use of beats and complex rhythms, subtly blended jazz styles that were common then, as 'cool' and 'West coast', creating both classical compositional structures with bright accompaniments. It is referenced in the top 100 jazz albums and appears on the website of the '1001 albums you must hear before you die'.

The Quartet (which for the past five years had included clarinetist Bill Smith, electric bassist Chris Brubeck and drummer Randy Jones in addition to the pianist/leader) teamed up with the Montreal International Jazz Festival Orchestra for this live recording. Featured are six Brubeck compositions (including "Blue Rondo à la Turk" and "Koto Song") along with "Take the 'A' Train," all of which was in the Quartet's repertoire. In general the orchestra (which has some members of The Montreal Symphony) does not weigh down the proceedings and the music, although not all that "new," is enjoyable.
