from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR & Discorder Magazine

The 'classic' Brubeck Quartet with alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Gene Wright, drummer Joe Morello and of course, Mr.Brubeck on piano. Just coming off a world tour, the band was exhausted but found energy to deliver one of their very best performances at Carnegie Hall on this cold night in February 1963. Written off as 'old hat' by this time, Brubeck and the band reassert their authority and freshness with one of their greatest recorded dates. 'Blue Rondo a la Turk' and Desmond's immortal 'Take Five' sounded ten times better than the original versions. Bru at his best!!!
