It's a career retrospective February 23, 2008
Dave Brubeck has had a lengthy career. And, amazingly, he's still making music. Here, on this disc released on Fantasy, you get his earliest recordings, plus some of his 1980s recordings that he made with his son, Chris.
The legendary 1950s sides on the Fantasy label are here, remastered and everything. The opening track, 'You Go To My Head,' is probably the highlight for me. It's just an awesome way to start any Brubeck compilation.
I really like the live version of 'For All We Know' featured here. I have the live record it appears on, titled 'Jazz At The College Of The Pacific.' It is here, remastered and everything, and sounds better than it does even on the CD version of that legendary live record.
If you are new to Brubeck, than this is a great entry point. However, if you are on a budget, you might want to get 'On Time' instead. There is a pretty big price difference. But this is probably my favorite Brubeck compilation. In my mind, it is, hands down, the BEST Brubeck collection on the market.
Highly recommended for any Brubeck fan. ENJOY!!!

Brubeck Revisited February 8, 2006
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
In 1953, I was playing Brubeck/Desmond's "You Go To My Head" and was irritated by someone whistling along. I searched the basement where I was living and realized it must be on the record. Only in the notes in this CD did I find verification. Even Chris Brubeck told me he had never heard the whistling. The tunes are standards-not always played in the usual way and while I already have most of them on other discs, this compilation is very easy on the ears. I wish "Laura" had been included, but you can't have everything. It would have been nice to have some of Fantasy trios. A pleasant listening.
