The Dave Brubeck Quartet - February 28, 1958 - Niedersachsenhalle - Hannover

This is from before Time Out, but the same quartet, on their first outings. Really good pressing and sound quality, and not something I'd ever seen before.

Features Dave Brubeck (piano), Paul Desmond (alto), Gene Wright (bass), and Joe Morello (drums).

A bit surprised to find this available at Amazon - https://amzn.to/4mSAXOw - on both LP and CD.

Weite Landschaften, Pferde, eine Ranch fern jeder Stadt. Das ist die Ikonografie des Westerns. Doch unter dieser Oberfläche arbeitet ein anderes Genre. Dieser Film ist viel mehr ein romantisches Familiendrama. Ein Melodram, das den Mythos des Westens nur benutzt, um von Liebe, Verlust und vollkommen zerstörerischer Männlichkeit zu erzählen. Mit einem All-Star Cast, darunter: Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Aidan Quinn und Julia Ormond. (3Sat, Wh.)

"Take Five" is a #jazzStandard composed by #PaulDesmond and originally recorded in 1959 by the #DaveBrubeckQuartet for their album #TimeOut. Written in #quintupleTime (54), the composition is built around a distinctive blues-scale #melody in E♭ minor and a recurring two-#chord #vamp. It became the third track on Time Out, which was released by #ColumbiaRecords later that year.

Paul Desmond, Pure Desmond, 1975 on CTI Records

Desmond (who composed Take Five and was a critical part of the Dave Brubeck Quartet) playing here with Ron Carter, Ed Bickert, and Connie Kay – recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in 1974 and produced by Creed Taylor.

One of five albums Desmond put out on CTI in the late 60s and 70s. including Summertime and Skylark (with Gabor Szabo). It’s very fusion, and features Ed Bickert on guitar as much as (or more so than) Desmond.

My copy, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR, is a 1975 issue with Van Gelder in the runouts.

Paul Desmond went on a tour with The Modern Jazz Quartet, and there was one concert that was recorded! Here's a track from it

"Take Five" is a #jazzStandard composed by #PaulDesmond. It was first recorded in 1959 and is the third track on #TimeOut by the #DaveBrubeckQuartet. Frequently covered by a variety of artists, the track is the biggest-selling jazz song of all time and a #GrammyHallOfFame inductee. Dave Brubeck was inspired to create an album based on #oddTimeSignatures during his state-sponsored 1958 Eurasia trip. The track was written after the Quartet's drummer, #JoeMorello.

100 Years of Paul Desmond

This evening I happened across a reminder that today is the centenary of the birth of saxophonist and composer Paul Desmond, who was born on November 25th 1924. Paul Desmond is best known for his work with Dave Brubeck’s quartet from 1951 to 1967, and particularly as composer of their smash hit Take Five. He didn’t only work with Brubeck, though. He made fine recordings with Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan amongst others. His gentle tone and lyrical phrasing on alto saxophone were instantly recognizeable and very typical of the West Coast style of cool jazz, and on alto saxophone was instantly recognizeable. Never a speed merchant in the Charlie Parker tradition, Desmond fell out with Brubeck’s drummer Joe Morello who would often set the tempo, especially on Take Five, too fast in live performances, so I thought I’d pay my little tribute by playing a less familiar number, the Japanese-influenced Koto Song on which Paul Desmond plays very beautifully.

Paul Desmond & Gerry Mulligan - Two of a Mind

Desmond on Alto and Mulligan on baritone sax, with Connie Kay of the MJQ on drums. Lots of great interplay between the band, that pretty distinctive Desmond sound, and a great recording from 1962.

A mix of interesting takes on standards and one each from Desmond and Mulligan. Warning: as you'd expect from the title, some title puns incoming.

The Paul Desmond Album That Was CTI and Isn’t

With the Grammys coming up, I thought it a good time to take a first look at Paul Desmond's career and his association with CTI Records, along with a discussion about his albums and Grammy nominations. I also apparently have some work to do on Wikipedia inaccuracies but mostly this is a look at Desmond's non-CTI A&M recording an

Paul Desmond (feat. Jim Hall) - "Bossa Antigua" (1965)

Desmond's play on "bossa nova" ("new thing") was "bossa antigua" ("old thing" in Spanish), although the Portuguese "bossa antiga" would be a more accurate translation of PD's joke.

I recall seeing this album referenced several times by Japanese jazz aficionados over on Twitter, which is generally the mark of a quality record. However, it's a little milquetoast to my ears.
