With a high, detached tone that defined "cool" jazz, Paul Desmond, the longtime saxophone player in Dave Brubeck's quartet, was one of the dominant instrumentalists in '60s jazz. This gorgeously packaged 5 CD set brings together the five discs Desmond made for RCA between 1961 and 1964 with sympatico guitarist Jim Hall: Desmond Blue, Take Ten, Glad to Be Unhappy, Bossa Antigua, and Easy Living. One of the few alto saxmen not influenced by Charlie Parker, Desmond's light airy tone and straightforward approach to melody are a refreshing change.
Tolstoy's masterpiece begins, 'Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.'
This is the story of the unhappy family of Anna Karenina. The novel contains much concerning Tolstoy's spiritual crisis and his search for the meaning of life. But it is also chiefly about marriage, and the growth and death of love.
The most complete package to date of Paul Desmond's RCA works. 6-CD set with all six original albums he cut for the RCA inprint (five of the six albums feature melodic guitar giant Jim Hall, the ideal musical partner for Desmond). All come in nice mini-LP replica sleeves reproducing original cover art, including 24 bonus tracks, and a comprenhensive booklet with full discographical details, rare in-studio photos and liner notes by Grammy-winning box producer Richard Seidel.
