"Everything to love about the Brubeck Quartet is on this recording: a perfect mix of intellect and emotion; blend of European classical and improvisational jazz; unusual time signatures; contrasting rhythms, meters and tonalities in expressive and accessible ways."

About the album

The Swiss Radio Days album features the great Dave Brubeck Quartet with Dave Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums. The recording of this concert immediately brings you to a world of magic conjured up by one of the most beautiful sounds in the history of music: Paul Desmond’s alto saxophone, which transcends his own song “Audrey” from the very first notes. At the time of this recording in 1964 in Zurich, the collaborations between Dave and Paul were not new as they already had crossed paths in 1944 in a military musical context where they jammed for quite some time. Dave Brubeck was an American jazz pianist and composer, considered to be one of the foremost exponents of cool jazz. He wrote a number of jazz standards, including “The Duke,” and “In Your Own Sweet Way.” Brubeck’s style ranged from refined to bombastic, reflecting his mother’s attempts at classical training and his improvisational ski
Auf diesem Swiss Radio Days-Album hören Sie das großartige Dave Brubeck Quartet mit Dave Brubeck am Klavier, Paul Desmond am Altsaxophon, Eugene Wright am Bass und Joe Morello am Schlagzeug. Die Aufnahme dieses Konzertes versetzt einen sofort in eine Zauberwelt, heraufbeschworen von einem der schönsten Klänge der Geschichte: Paul Desmons Altsax, das seinen eigenen Song Audrey mit den ersten Tönen übersteigt.
Zur Zeit der Aufnahme 1964 in Zürich war die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Dave und Paul keine Neuigkeit mehr, denn ihre Wege hatten sich bereits 1944 in militärmusikalischem Kontext gekreuzt, wo sie für einige Zeit gejammt hatten.

(...) The languid smear of his alto saxophone is somehow both spiritual and sensual. He slides into "You Go to My Head" so suggestively it's as if you are eavesdropping on his erotic dream. (...)

Dave was a crossover phenomenon, bridging the gap between emotional jazz and the rational classical tradition.

This sparkling heavy-light change-up was in evidence during the Zurich concert, released recently in the States on CD thanks to the TCB label as Swiss Radio Days: Dave Brubeck Quartet, Zurich 1964

The repertoire is exemplary, with as opening the harmony-rich Audrey for less ten minutes

''The conert in is Zürich is so well played, that you wished you were there in 1964.''
Jazzenzo, 22-12-2016

The recording quality is excellent, with a fine balance in the sound field. A beautiful document.
Het Parool, 13-12-2016

The recording of this concert takes you instantly into a magical world conjured up by one of the most beautiful sounds in history: Paul Desmond's alto sax, which surpasses his own song Audrey with the first tones.
