Customer Reviews:

My favorite Brubeck .......2006-06-15

This is by far my favorite Brubeck. Pure delight, excellent balance amongst the musicians, all his best songs. Mulligan excels on this, without running all over the others in the group. An incredible work.

What can I Say.....Bob Militello.......2005-07-27

There's nothing to say. With Militello in the 4tet. And a history of nothing but sweetness, class, style, and great jazz. And do not get me started on Mr. Brubeck as a living composer in classical music and jazz....amazing. Thank you soooo, so very much. The whole 4tet...

Can Brubeck do wrong?.......2003-08-31

I've never been disappointed by a Brubeck album and this is no exception to that rule. A delightful human being in addition to being an exceptionally innovative musician, Brubeck continues to surprise and amaze me. Try it, you'll like it!

(Almost) Everything You Need For A Great Night of Jazz.......2001-01-31

This is the first of two live recordings that Brubeck released in the mid-90's. Like the second release, Nightshift, this CD chronicles a six day set at New York's legendary Blue Note in october, 1993.

In many ways, this CD is superior to its sequeal, not the least of them being the fact that it is quieter, more contemplative, and perfectly captures that 2-in-the-morning mood it seeks to project. In fact, in some places such as the haunting "Koto's Song" or "So Wistully Sad", its so quiet you'll have to turn the volume up just capture the full impact of the piece.

The opening number on the CD, "These Foolish Things", is, as the liner notes say, absolutely masterful and my personal favorite. As the piece begins, Brubeck takes the audience through a winding, extraordinary series of abstractions that must have left them wondering, at least for awhile, what song the group was actually playing. When Brubeck finally gets to the opening melody, in a way that makes everything that came before seem entirely logical, you can hear applause and gasps of recognition from the crowd.

If you're looking for something to put on the stereo for those late nights, when the lights are low, you couldn't do any better than this. In the process, you'll be privileged to hear one of the best musicians America has produced.

All of the escence of quality bar jazz without the smoke..........2000-03-27

This is quiet listening jazz at its fullest, it is mood and thought provoking. A great CD to introduce a newcomer to jazz as well as to further a jazz afficionado's love. I thoroughly enjoy listening to this CD and can't find enough opportunities to hear and share it.
