The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Canadian first press 1959, mono. Record and sleeve in nice condition.
Live Brubeck in full swing - all the cool confidence, tight suits, and time signatures that make jazz nerds lose sleep. Paul Desmond’s sax sounds like it’s been soaked in dry martini, and Brubeck himself plays like a man who’s just discovered syncopation and can’t put it down. It’s breezy, clever, and properly fun, the kind of record that makes you wish your local café had a resident quartet. FFO: Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, that one mate who swears they “get” odd time signatures.
