Jazz / Cool; West Coast Jazz
Recorded: Mar 10-11, 1980, TM Productions, Dallas, Texas
This underrated but talented version of the Dave Brubeck Quartet (featuring tenor-saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi, drummer Randy Jones and Chris Brubeck on electric bass and bass trombone) performs "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?," a sparkling version of "Like Someone in Love," Howard Brubeck's "Theme for June" and three fairly recent Dave Brubeck compositions. Bergonzi's Coltranish tenor acts as a perfect foil for Brubeck's unpredictable piano, making this album worth searching for.
