This LP (which has been reissued on CD as part of
Interchanges '54) introduced
Paul Desmond's beautiful ballad "Audrey" and found the early
Dave Brubeck quartet (with pianist
Brubeck, altoist
Desmond, bassist
Bob Bates, and drummer
Joe Dodge) making a rare studio recording; up to this point all of their most popular records were club performances. With fresh versions of such songs as "Jeepers Creepers," "Pennies From Heaven," and "A Fine Romance," this music is certainly worth acquiring.
