DAVE BRUBECK - 40TH ANNIVERSARY UK LIVE *SACD*

In 1958, the Dave Brubeck Quartet toured England for the first time. Fortyyears later, Dave and his current quartet return triumphantly with new materialto recreate some of the old tunes from that legendary first trip across theAtlantic. The 40th Anniversary Tour of the U.K. documents that high-octaneadventure.

Feel the enthusiasm of the audience as Brubeck begins with a disguised introto 'Someday My Prince Will Come' then recharges the tune a la 1958. Nevercliche, its obvious why audiences still want to hear Dave Brubeck perform hisclassic songs.

Known for his trademark rhythmic complexity and extraordinary ability toimprovise, Brubeck is also a leading American composer and one of the veryfew since George Gershwin to receive true distinction in jazz and classicalmusic. Here he includes an inspired performance of 'I Got Rhythm,' an all-timeGershwin favorite.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet has clearly honed its reactions through extensivetouring as showcased by their responsiveness on this recording. Brits AlecDankworth on bass and Randy Jones on drums provide a strong foundation,while the stunning alto saxophonist Bobby Militello is a virtuoso capable ofdelivering the late Paul Desmond's airy tone and fluid attack. Captured inspectacular DSD sound, this concert experience is brought to life more vividlythan ever before.
