Dave BRUBECK - All The Things We Are 1976


Dave BRUBECK - All The Things We Are 1976

Jazz

All the Things We Are is a bit unusual in the Dave Brubeck discography. The pianist is heard in a quartet with altoist Lee Konitz on "Like Someone in Love" and a brief "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," with avant-garde giant Anthony Braxton (also on alto) featured on "In Your Own Sweet Way," while both Konitz and Braxton team up for "All the Things You Are." In addition, the Brubeck Trio (with bassist Jack Six and drummer Alan Dawson) plays an exquisite and frequently exciting 21-minute, five-song "Jimmy Van Heusen Medley." A total success, this "experimental" Brubeck set is highly recommended.

Demonstrating the innovative pianist's wide musical range, this early-1970s set features Dave Brubeck in a variety of settings, from a traditional combo featuring the West Coast saxophonist Lee Konitz on "Like Someone in Love," to the more experimental ...    Full Descriptiongroup of "In Your Own Sweet Way," featuring the avant-garde saxophonist Anthony Braxton demonstrating his command of more conventional jazz idioms. The album's centerpiece is an extended medley of delicate, lyrical improvisations on five pieces
by the songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen.
