BBC - Jazz 625 - 1964 Dave Brubeck Quartet [MP4-AAC](oan)



http://leetleech.org/images/42994174035195386155.jpgThe Dave Brubeck Quartet is a jazz quartet, founded in 1951 by Dave Brubeck and

originally featuring Paul Desmond on saxophone and Brubeck on piano. They took

up a long residency at San Francisco's Blackhawk nightclub and gained great

popularity touring college campuses, releasing a series of albums with such titles

as Jazz at Oberlin, Jazz Goes to College, and Jazz Goes to Junior College.



By 1958, after a handful of different drummers and bassists, the "Classic

Quartet" so called because it remained as such virtually consistently until the

group dissolved ~ had been assembled, consisting of Brubeck, Desmond, Joe

Morello on drums, and Eugene Wright on bass. In 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet

released Time Out, an album their label was enthusiastic about but nonetheless

hesitant to release. The album contained all original compositions, almost none of

which were in common time. Nonetheless, on the strength of these unusual time

signatures [the album included "Take Five", "Blue Rondo à la Turk", and "Pick Up

Sticks">, it quickly went platinum. The quartet followed up its success with several

more albums in the same vein, including Time Further Out [1961], Countdown:

Time in Outer Space, Time Changes, and Time In. These albums were also known

for using contemporary paintings as cover art, featuring the work of S. Neil Fujita

on Time Out, Joan Miró on Time Further Out, Franz Kline on Time in Outer Space,

and Sam Francis on Time Changes [no artist's work, however, was featured on the

cover of Time In]. A high point for the group was their classic 1963 live album At

Carnegie Hall, described by critic Richard Palmer as "arguably Dave Brubeck's

greatest concert".



The "classic" Dave Brubeck Quartet broke up in 1967, except for a 25th

anniversary reunion in 1976. Brubeck formed a new quartet in 1968. Today, the

Dave Brubeck Quartet continues to tour the world, performing hits from the classic

Quartet era as well as new material..Steve Race introduces the legendary Dave Brubeck Quartet in a restored and reedited

1964 programme, featuring Paul Desmond on saxophone, Gene Wright on

bass, Joe Morello on drums and Brubeck on piano. Songs include Take 5, the first

jazz record to sell over one million copies.
