Music reviews of Paul Desmond Quartet Live
Music Review: Sweet melancholy...
Rating: 5 Stars
This LIVE recording of the late alto saxophonist Paul Desmond's last quartet is an absolute joy to listen to. Desmond made his mark on the jazz world first with his many years playing with pianist Drave Brubeck. This album shows Paul as the seasoned veteran he was by 1975, the year this recording was created. This is precisely the kind of music you want to hear when going out to a small jazz club for a good time.
Paul Desmond could often remind you of the nuanced approach Johnny Hodges would take to the sax. In my opinion The Dave Brubeck Quartet should have been called The Paul Desmond Quartet, but that was never Paul's particular style or objective. He was content lurking in the shadows as the unknown of that group, penning "Brubeck's" greatest hit, "Take Five". Desmond was uninterested in stardom and recognition, he only wanted to play great music with great musicians. Speaking of playing with great musicians, this recording features three others: Ed Bickert on guitar, Don Thompson on bass, and Jerry Fuller on drums.
This album is so laid back you almost can't believe you never fall asleep through it. Of course, how could you? The musing style of Bickert on guitar with the wonderful rhythms of Thompson and Fuller, accompanied by some mighty fine melancholy blowing by Desmond keeps us attentive at all times. This is music for a day of rain, music for surfing the web, music for writing reviews on Amazon to, music you want to drink scotch to, music you often smoke a pack of cigarettes to.
This is music you must own.
