Paul Desmond

" Two of the most important and exciting live recordings of Paul Desmond featured in the Dave Brubeck Quartet "
Performing inspired modern versions of great standards such as These Foolish Things, The Way You Look Tonight, Laura, Perdido, Stardust, Crazy Rhythm, Jeepers Creepers, and Let's Fall in Love, among others.

On these outstanding live recordings the doors of creativity were left wide open and the band never sounded better.
"Desmond and Brubeck's playing were as different as night and day. Their contrast in styles complemented each other, while creating a richer
and fuller composite sound. . . The synergy between the two musicians was incredible and immediate. During their first experiences playing
together, they were already experimenting with many of the things that would later develop into the Quartet's trademark sound. . .
From his witty sardonic humor to his lyrical, mellifluous playing, Paul Desmond was one of the truly individual voices on his instrument." (from the original notes)
