Amazon.com essential recording

It's easy to forget that Dave Brubeck ever recorded any fascinating music with a horn player other than Paul Desmond. But in clarinetist William O. Smith, Brubeck had another foil, another thorough, highly developed (and well-regarded) composer with aerated tone and brilliance of ideas. This 1960 set, like Near Myth, features only Smith's compositions, all of them modal, and all of them showing melted edges and gentle bursts of creative improvising. Brubeck is his usual stalwart player, with his stark chords played so that they sound charming. Drummer Joe Morello and bassist Eugene Wright, Brubeck's best rhythm section, step up to Smith's demanding works, playing latticed harmony so that it rumbles a bit beneath the wood-toned clarinet--whose range sounds ever so Desmond-like. This is a sleeper in the Brubeck catalog, but don't let that imply anything negative. It's astounding. --Andrew Bartlett

5 out of 5 stars FAR OUT!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-02-28

This album is great and swings. I like the clarinet. Even though I like Paul Desmond's smooth alto sax, it was nice to here a different horn man in The Brubeck Group. Joe Morello doesn't get much solo space, but his snare and bass accents are cool. I like his Afro Cuban rythm on one song. This album is great. IT seemed to me that BIll Smith was going progressive and dragging Dave's quartet with him, as my title was, Far Out!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Brandenberg Gate.......2000-04-20

I first heard this in stereo back in 1963. I was struck by it then and still am. If they told me I had only one piece of music to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be Brubeck's Brandenberg Gate. Thankfully it has been remastered on CD. I listen to it at least three times a day, and always feel good afterward.
