The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Many critics regard Dave Brubeck?s Carnegie Hall
concert from February 1963 as his greatest ever
live appearance. But who can really determine
that? For no one ? apart from Brubeck himself ?
would have seen and heard his conservatively
estimated 12,000 concerts.
Although the twelve titles had already been
released on LPs that had been recorded in the
studio, these records were certainly not known to
all those in the audience. In between the numbers
on each LP, Brubeck made little 'advertising
spots' in short comments, but with such charm and
wit that one really cannot be angry with him.
The concert programme begins with 'St. Louis
Blues' and ends with 'Take Five'. Luckily, the
solos are distributed among all the musicians, so
that Paul Desmond and Joe Morello ? whose prowess
on this evening can only be called 'amazingly
good' ? justifiably received enthusiastic applause
from both the audience and us alike. 'Castilian
Drums' demonstrates Morello?s wealth of ideas and
his grandiose feeling for rhythm; though short,
Paul Desmond?s solos ('Southern Scene' is a good
example!) are compelling, highly melodic, lyrical
and possess a unique tone ? as such they are
immediately recognisable.
How fortunate that the twelve brilliantly
improvised numbers are now available once again on
vinyl, having been recorded live at the legendary
Carnegie Hall 60 years ago.
