Dave Brubeck - Jazz Impressions of Eurasia
"Time Out" was THE jazz album as a kid i played to death thanks to my mom. The only sad thing was that this was also the only jazz album we owned and it wasnt until my Grandpa played me jazz that I developed an ear for it. I grew up listening to Dave Brubeck and "Jazz Impressions" was an album I picked up much later in life.
In fact my copy is the original Columbia Mono version on vinyl which sounds simply killer
Dave Brubeck takes on the Eurasian scene – with wonderfully groovy
results! The album's one of Brubeck's first in the "impressions"
series, and it's a really colorful assortment of tunes – tracks with
some lyrical and exotic moments that come through strongly, and which
really offer a slightly different take on the Brubeck groove. Paul
Desmond's alto sax is key to the sound here, and so is the progressive
percussion of Joe Morello – and in addition to Brubeck's piano, the
quartet also features bass from Joe Benjamin. Titles are all originals
by Dave, and they include "Calcutta Blues", "Marble Arch", "Brandenburg
Gate", "Nomad", and "The Golden Horn".
