Late Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 What do you all think of tenor saxophonist Dave van Kriedt? I only know his work from Brubeck's Re-Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even think this is where the made the biggest splash in the Brubeck context. See OJC-101 (reissue of Fantasy F-3-239).

Late Posted February 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I like the octet sides, but sometimes I think they should've been titled Birth of The Uncool. Nobody can play a 90 degree angle like Brubeck. In fairness, these recordings precede Birth of The Cool, and, as such, have historical significance. More than just Brubeck were students of Milhaud. The Octet: Dick Collins: trumpet Bill Smith: clarinet Paul Desmond: alto saxophone Dave van Kriedt: tenor saxophone Bob Collins/Robert Cummings: baritone saxophone Dave Brubeck: piano Jack Weeks: bass Cal Tjader: drums Edited February 2, 2023 by Late drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Posted February 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Listening to this again. It's just as good as the Columbia sides. van Kriedt is solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
