Quartet San Francisco - QSF Plays Brubeck

[GA Russell]

We had a thread on Quartet San Francisco's last album here.

It was nominated for a Grammy. Apparently it didn't win, because I expect the thread would have mentioned it if it had.

I see that lala.com now has it available for listening.

Well the group has a new album out that I like much, much more than the last one. This one is called QSF Plays Brubeck.

QSF is a string quartet playing chamber music. This new Brubeck album is not jazz. It is a classical group playing jazz standards! Many of the songs are from Time Out, and I was unfamiliar with only one or two of the 12 songs.

If the idea of jazz standards played by a string quartet appeals to you, check this out! Unfortunately, lala.com does not yet have this one up to listen to.

This was nominated for a Grammy yesterday in the Best Classical Crossover category.
