Columbia, 1954. Used ... $1.99
The Dave Brubeck Quartet goes to college – a pretty good place for the combo, considering how many fans they had on campus in the 50s!

Pretty nice stuff from Brubeck's early years!

Dave Brubeck —
We're All Together Again For The First Time ... CD Atlantic, 1973. Used ... $2.99
Kind of a meeting of two different generations of Dave Brubeck – as the group here features Paul Desmond's alto sax, a key force in Dave's early recordings – and the baritone sax of Gerry Mulligan, a player who'd worked often with Brubeck in the late 60s and early 70s! The blend of ... read more CD
A&M/Verve, 1975. Used Gatefold ... $4.99
Excellent mid 70s duet jazz from pianist Dave Brubeck & alto Paul Desmond! Duets 1975 is a nicely laidback work from the duo – playing here with no other accompaniment, in a spare set of material that's incredibly fragile and intimate – and all the better for that. The move is a ... read more CD

The one and only album by this righteous funky combo from Ohio!
