Customer Reviews

 
Jazz at its finest - swinging, stomping, lyrical Rating: 5.0

One of the most joyous, thoughtful jazz saxophonists with probably one of the finest comtemporary rhythm sections, if the Dave Brubeck Trio can be described that way! Why didn't they record together more? I suspect that their best was done at live dates, at this was live. Highlights? Blessed are the poor, Things ain't what they used to be, then on CD 2 The Duke, an ear-popping version of St. Louis Blues and a glorious sign-off track - Lullaby de Mexico written by Mulligan, played - just buy it and listen.


 
A concert of the masters! Rating: 5.0

If you're into silky smooth baritone sax on some tracks, and simply awesome paino on others (and a combination on most) then this CD is an abosute must for you.

Played on a decent hi-fi, the recording quality is such that one can, if you close your eyes, feel the instruments in the room with you.

I borrowed it from the local library and cant listen to it enough! Consequently I find myself unable to live without my own copy!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
