This very interesting set features the pianist with three of his sons (Darius on keyboards, Chris doubling on trombone and bass and Danny on drums), and a wide variety of musicians including tenor-saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi, clarinetist Perry Robinson and Peter &Madcat& Ruth on harmonica. To hear such numbers as &Three to Get Ready,& &Blue Rondo à la Turk& and &Unsquare Dance& (along with some newer pieces) performed by these younger players casts new light on the durability and flexibility of these classic Brubeck songs.
