Dave Brubeck Artist Snapshot:

Dave Brubeck is one of the great post-bop jazz innovators of the 1950s, whose use of irregular time signatures, a restrained, classical-influenced approach to the piano, and exceptional composing skills have allowed him to make bold musical statements while remaining immensely popular around the world. His signature "Take Five," a highly accessible tune in 5/4 time composed by the saxophonist Paul Desmond, remains one of the most well known pieces in the jazz canon.

Title Note

Producer: Teo Macero.

Reissue producer: Amy Herot.

Recorded in New York, New York between June 16 and August 21, 1964. Includes liner notes by R.A. Israel, Dave Brubeck, David Susskind, Daniel Melnick and Larry Arrick.

This 1964 concept album, featuring pianist Dave Brubeck's greatest quartet, presents music culled from Brubeck's scores for the CBS television series MR. BROADWAY. Although long forgotten, the program yielded some of the composer's most memorable works.

It's amazing how well Brubeck captures the vibe of New York City, especially given the fact that he is a California native. But Brubeck knew the Big Apple well, and his ability to invoke the mood and overall atmosphere of New York is uncanny. This is especially apparent on the sprightly waltz "Spring in Central Park," which conveys a blithe, carefree spirit. Other pieces, particularly "Lonely Mr. Broadway," are more somber, revealing the dejection sometimes associated with life in the big city. Alto saxophonist Paul Desmond is in fine form here, as are drummer Joe Morello and bassist Gene Wright, and together they incite terrific group interplay. Brubeck himself performs unrestrained solos on many of these outstanding tunes, most notably on the upbeat "Summer on the Sound."
