" Masterful ... ",
By Explorer (Renton, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Dave Brubeck (Rm) (2CD) (Audio CD)
One of the finest, most sophisticated, and artistic [collection of] jazz-music cuts ever put together. Impressive !(I listen to most types of music, not just jazz).

Don't Leave the Planet Without It,
By
This review is from: The Essential Dave Brubeck (Rm) (2CD) (Audio CD)
I once heard Oscar Petersen affirm that "there are only two kinds of music: good and bad." Within the broad musical forms that encompass the genre of jazz, Brubeck consistently managed to play superb music. Contained on Essential Dave Brubeck, are selections that, taken together, provide a representative sample of the remarkable ensembles that played under the Brubeck name. Brubeck was "global" before it was fashionable. Le Souk, the Brandenburg Gate and even Take Five and Blue Rhonda incorporate international time signatures and stylistic modes that demonstrate Brubeck's attempt to assimilate an Asian influence into the African-American jazz art form. It's also great to hear again Take the A train, especially given Duke Ellington's profound influence of Mr. Brubeck. This is an oustanding selection of music from a consistently gifted ensemble. For fans of Brubeck, Desmond, Morello, Dodge -- both old and new -- Essential Dave Brubeck is an solid introduction to what Mr. Petersen would doubtless classify as "good" music.

The Definitive Overview,
By
This review is from: The Essential Dave Brubeck (Rm) (2CD) (Audio CD)
Here is the perfect introduction to one of the greatest jazz artists of all time. Not as expanded as the box set "Time Signatures" or as condensed as "Greatest Hits", the tracks in this collection span five decades (two of them with Sony) and over twenty studio albums. The first nine tracks are mono. Brubeck didn't just make great music, he experimented and invented new concepts. His biggest innovation of course was coming up with odd time signatures. For example, "Unsquare Dance" is in 7/4 and "Blue Rondo A La Turk" is 9/8. He was also a great interpreter as he does his own versions of "Maria" from West Side Story and "Someday My Prince Will Come" from Snow White. There are also guest vocalists such as Tony Bennett, Carmen McRae, Jimmy Rushing, and Louis Armstrong with a track each. As you'll hear (and read) on this collection, Brubeck also enjoys playing in front of a live audience. About half of the album are live tracks but they sound terrific. On most of the tracks he is augmented by other musicians but there are some in which he plays solo. The collection begins with "Indiana" recorded in '49 and ends with "Love For Sale" from '02 written by Cole Porter and performed live. There's also a track called "Audrey", as in Hepburn.Dave Brubeck didn't just make great music, he shaped it so that a whole new generation of music lovers could appreciate and find it sounding as fresh now as it was decades ago. If you're discovering him for the first time then start here, you won't regret it. Actually get this double album anyway, it's a great listen either way. Liner notes are by Joel Lewis.
