mjzee Posted October 2, 2023 Report Posted October 2, 2023 Release date November 3: "The Dave Brubeck Quartet - 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. The CD contains 2 tracks not found on the LP. Track Listing: When the Saints Go Marching In Basin Street Blues These Foolish Things (Bonus Track - Not on LP) Gone With the Wind Multnomah Blues (Bonus Track - Not on LP) Two Part Contention The Lonesome Road Quote
