The Best of Brubeck Trios, Quartets, and Octets Dave Brubeck p; Paul Desmond as; Ron Crotty b; Lloyd Davis ds; Fred Dutton b; Herbie Barman ds; Bob Bates b; Joe Dodge ds; Cal Tjader ds; David Van Kreidt ts; Bill Smith cl, bs; Dick Collins tp; Bob Collins tb. This compilation features one trio track, five quartet tracks, and one octet track. It's a selection from six Fantasy label records, and the performances by different members than those I usually listen to are refreshing. Cal Tjader plays drums on two tracks instead of vibraphone. The record is from 1957, so the jacket and disc have some wear and tear, but they are in relatively good condition for their age. USA, original pressing. The Dave Brubeck Quartet Rare Radio Recordings 1953, 1954 Dave Brubeck p; Paul Desmond as; Bob Bates b; Joe Dodge ds. These are radio broadcast recordings of the quartet from 1953 and 1954. The recording quality is very good, and it feels like you're listening to a live broadcast! The performances are also different from the studio recordings, with a youthful and lively energy. Both the jacket and the disc are in good condition.
