"The Dave Brubeck Quartet's Live from the Northwest, 1959 is the newest release from Brubeck Editions, the family-run label that only puts out music of the highest musical and technical quality. These exciting performances were recorded by the trailblazing and iconic audio engineer, Wally Heider, who pioneered the art of remote recording from his 'studio on wheels.' The sound he achieved is stellar, and this is perhaps the best live recording you can hear of one the most popular jazz groups of all time. The tapes were recorded in April, 1959 at the Multnomah Jazz Club and Clark College, both in the Portland, Oregon area. On this recording you can hear the Quartet's mastery of spontaneous counterpoint improvisation. Four months later, the Dave Brubeck Quartet's focus shifted to polytonal and polyrhythmic approaches when the group recorded the legendary Time Out, and changed the course of jazz forever."

Restocked. "'Time OutTakes features seven tracks that have never been heard before. These newly discovered recordings feature wonderful performances that are every bit as compelling as those on the original Time Out. We discovered that during the original 1959 sessions the Quartet also recorded 'I'm In a Dancing Mood' and an unlisted trio jam with a major drum solo that included snatches of the melody from 'Watusi Drums.' Two tracks from Time Out, 'Pick Up Sticks' and 'Everybody's Jumpin,' were achieved in one take so no alternates exist to include here. These seven new performances (and bonus track) are fascinating finds.' --Chris Brubeck 'We've all heard Dave Brubeck's Time Out -- but never quite like this. You'll hear Dave Brubeck's signature pieces afresh and anew. Listening to this album will make you rediscover why you fell in love with The Dave Brubeck Quartet featuring Paul Desmond, Joe Morello and Eugene Wright. This is mesmerizing music.' --Kabir Sehgal, Grammy Award Winning Producer 'Once the Dave Brubeck Quartet released Time Out in 1959, the world of jazz was never the same. Every note of the seven original compositions soared with wild originality and trained musical genius. 'Take Five' became the best-selling jazz single of the twentieth century. I've often wondered how this work of genius came to fruition in the studio? How did Brubeck develop such chemistry with alto-saxophonist Paul Desmond? Now the mysteries are solved with the historic release of Time OutTakes (alternative takes to the masterpiece that blew the hinges off the doors of jazz). What a high privilege it is to be able to be in the studio with the quartet as they innovate using 9/8, 5/4 and 2 bars of 3/4 alternating with 2 bars of 4/4 on such classics as 'Blue Rondo a la Turk' and 'Three to Get Ready.' All listeners of Time OutTakes will experience the Cold War era jazz revolution as it unfolded. What joyous music for the ages!" --Douglas Brinkley, CNN historian and Grammy-winning jazz producer

Two Generations Of Brubeck, live at the Apollo Theater, New York on July 4th, 1973 as part of the Newport Jazz Festival. As a pioneer of "cool jazz" in the 1950s, Dave Brubeck requires no introduction to music lovers. By the early '70s he was regularly playing with his sons, amongst other musicians. Originally broadcast on Voice Of America radio, this superb performance was part of the Newport Jazz Festival, and took place in New York's Apollo Theater, July 4th, 1973. It captures him on sparkling form, tackling older classics as well as newer material. The entire Voice Of America broadcast is presented here, digitally remastered, with background notes and images.

Doxy present a reissue of The Dave Brubeck Quartet's At Carnegie Hall, originally released in 1963. Recorded at the famed Carnegie Hall in New York City on Friday, February 22, 1963, this LP is simply one of the great live jazz albums of the 1960s. A date that showcases the finest elements of the storied Brubeck Quartet, which featured, alongside Brubeck's piano, alto innovator Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright, and Joe Morello on drums. This LP is perhaps the one essential Brubeck live album. While "Take Five" is rightfully a classic in that it changed everything, At Carnegie Hall reveals the band at the epitome of its musical -- harmonic, rhythmic, melodic, improvisational -- strength with near telepathic communication. It swings like a mother and offers an entirely new dimension to the definition of "melodic improvisation". 140 gram clear vinyl; First pressing comes in an edition of 500 (numbered).

"Recorded at various Mid-Western US universities and released originally in 1954 (Brubeck's first album for Columbia, which would prove to be a long and fruitful relationship), Jazz Goes To College is a landmark live recording that features the Quartet at their lively, improvisational best. Paul Desmond, Brubeck's longtime bandmate on the alto sax, is especially strong and the whole group's unparalleled improvisational talent is the most evident on album opener, 'Balcony Rock.' An absolute '50s jazz classic. Includes original liner notes. 180 gram LP."

"A follow-up to Brubeck's seminal Time Out album, 1961's Time Further Out is an impressive encore, featuring the 'classic quartet' lineup with Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on sax, Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums. Tunes like 'It's A Raggy Waltz' and 'Unsquare Dance' allow Brubeck to show off his virtuosity, making some extremely difficult music seem absolutely effortless. A true classic! Also featuring the bonus track, 'Slow And Easy' which was not released until 1996." 180 gram vinyl.
