About this album

Brubeck On Campus presents The Dave Brubeck Quartet in smart, rhythmically inventive cool jazz from the group’s early-1960s peak. Issued in 1972 as a compilation, it gathers performances that show why Dave Brubeck became one of modern jazz’s most distinctive bandleaders: his quartet balanced odd metres, blues feeling and lyrical improvisation with uncommon ease. The set draws on material associated with classic Brubeck staples such as Bru's Blues, Take The "A" Train and Out Of Nowhere, highlighting the quartet’s command of swing, melody and interplay. It is a concise reminder of the trio-plus-saxophone format that made Brubeck a landmark figure in post-bop jazz.
