专辑介绍

by Ken Dryden

Dave Brubeck rarely recorded as a solo pianist, but beginning in the late '90s, he started performing occasional solo pieces in concert and recorded two first-rate solo dates for Telarc. His third solo CD for the label is full of rich harmonies that any Brubeck fan can identify as his in seconds, including a mix of memorable but overlooked songs from the 1920s through the 1940s, plus a few choice standards and a pair of his timeless originals. Brubeck clearly loves old ballads like &That Old Feeling& and &I'll Never Smile Again,& and there are several classics that are perfect vehicles for Brubeck. &Someone to Watch Over Me& is yet another lush ballad, while his unusual chord substitutions to the very familiar &Over the Rainbow& are dazzling. He ventures into Duke Ellington's repertoire, obviously having fun with the jaunty &Just Squeeze Me& but at a slower tempo than one would expect; his percussive swinging take of &Things Ain't What They Used to Be& is just as fun but wilder. Brubeck only features two of his own works, but they are among his best. &Weep No More& is the obscure song, appearing first as a part of his 1956 solo piano LP for Columbia, Brubeck Plays Brubeck; this poignant melody deserves to be better known than it is. &Summer Song,& written as a vocal feature for Louis Armstrong in Dave & Iola Brubeck's short-lived production The Real Ambassadors, has gradually become a jazz standard. This highly recommended CD is yet another of his finest hours.
