Music reviews of Pure Desmond
Music Review: ONE OF PAUL DESMOND'S BEST ALBUMS REISSUE AGAIN ON COMPACT DISC WITH 3 (THREE) ADDED BONUS ALTERNATE TAKES!
Rating: 5 Stars
Originally released ON Vinyl in 1975...Then on Compact Disc in 1990 with 2 (Two) Bonus Tracks: "Theme From M*A*S*H" and "Wave"...Reissued again in 2003 on Compact Disc with the previous mentioned 2 (Two) Bonus Tracks Plus 3 (Three) Alternate Takes of: "Squeeze Me", "Nuages" and "Till The Clouds Roll By". Both Compact Discs cost pretty much the same, so if you really want to get some mileage out your money go for the 2003 Edition. Back to the music at hand...Paul Desmond with his signature style Alto Saxophone playing proved to the world he hadn't lost his touch. In a Quartet setting with Ron Carter (Is there ANYTHING this legendary Bass Player hasn't played on since the 60's???), Ed Bickett, and Connie Kay all show off their skills on: "Squeeze Me", "I'm Old Fashioned", "Nauges", "Theme From M*A*S*H" and "Wave" (Which has become a Radio Favorite!). Recorded at the famous Van Gelder Studios, so I don't think I need to tell you about the Sound Quality? Everything you'd expect from well seasoned musicians. Oh!, And let's not forget a well seasoned producer by the name of Creed Taylor ALL in their shining hour!

Description of Pure Desmond
Remastered for the first time using the original two-track analog tapes, the 40th Anniversary Edition of Pure Desmond is packaged in a softpack sleeve that replicates the original LP and its iconic cover design. Down Beat s 1975 review of the album declared This consummate set of performances is pure Desmond ... personal and compelling interpretations which dazzle because of his romantic tonal warmth and classic structural simplicity ... Member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet and writer of their iconic song Take Five, Desmond was voted by Down Beat s readers into its Jazz Hall of Fame in 1977.Jazz CDs
