Music reviews of Jazz Impressions of Eurasia
Music Review: Love it!
Rating: 5 Stars
I recently watched a Clint Eastwood documentary "Dave Brubeck: In his Own Sweet Way" on Turner Classic Movies recently celebrating this jazz giant's 90th birthday. The mark of a great documentary is that it should inspire you to want to know more about the subject. I saw this album on Amazon and took a chance (I am more of Nirvana age than Be-bop, by the way) because the premise looked interesting. Man, this is simply a great disc.
Brubeck and his quartet, including the supremely gifted Paul Desmond, were sent on a goodwill tour of Europe and Central Asia by the US State Department.
This disc is the direct precedent of "Time Out." All I can say is WOW. From the first chords of "Nomad" to the end of "Calcutta Blues," this disc is nothing but bright, pretty and brilliant. Although I love the song "The Golden Horn" quite a bit, and also the London inspired "Marble Arch," perhaps the best song is the Polish inspired song "Thank You" which is just sublime and perhaps transcends the other songs in terms of pure jazz into just beautiful music that defies description.
This is an awesome disc that I will continue to listen to and if I were to make an impression on a younger music fan, present as one of a short collection of discs of what jazz can be like. Don't get me wrong, I love many varieties of music, but jazz is special and this is one of the best.
Thank you Clint Eastwood for making your great film and making me understand that there is far more to Dave Brubeck than just the other great album "Time Out." And thank you Dave Brubeck, et. al for doing what you did (and continue to do) and making some sublime music.
