A classic you know and must have!

Critics have this music sometimes dismissed as "Mickey Mouse Jazz". Granted: Dave Brubeck is no jazz pianist Bill Evans on the format 'or Wynton Kelly, this simply does not play enough swinging. But he has led this quartet in exactly this line over 10 years. And he has chosen the right musicians for: Paul Desmond, as; Eugene Wright, b; Joe Morello, dr. Wright and Morello contribute immensely contribute to the success of this music. Wright plays rock-steady and Morello, one of the most gifted hand and Fußwerker of drumming, dancing visionary, swinging and with great taste. And then Paul Desmond! Inventive, super cool, flowing, something dünntönig, but jazzy to the core. The most famous piece from the plate, "Take Five", the 5/4-stroke and in E flat minor, respectively. in G flat major (6 bs) and composed by Desmond, at that time represented a sensation. Today it has already become an almost a popular song, played and often by street musicians like.

This plate belongs next to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue [Remastered], incidentally, also dates back to 1959 and also produced by Columbia, in any jazz nightclub, it may still be so small.
