Music reviews of Edmonton Festival 76
Music Review: Superb and Rare Desmond!
Rating: 5 Stars
Paul Desmond recorded his best records outside the Dave Brubeck Quartet and the very best of his recordings was certainly "The Paul Desmond Quartet Live" , originally issued on a double-LP and now on cd too.
From the same splendid recordings of October and November 1975 in Toronto, Canada is a must have LP on Artist House AH-2, with just a drawing of the great saxofonist on a white cover. These great recordings are with Ed Bickert, guitar,Don Thompson, bass and Jerry Fuller, drums.
Now in addition to these rare treasures we are now in for a wonderfull surprise: "Edmonton Festival 1976" with the same group that did so wonderfull in Toronto in 1975.
This concert is from April 14, 1976 and is to me already "The most fine jazz finding of the year".
All members of this quartet are in splendid shape and perform at "after hours" speed, making this an album for the late evening, a fireplace, a good wine and fine company.
Of course you can listen to the entire concert and admire, time after time, what Paul Desmond did to tunes like "Wave" and "Wendy".
But this is also the ultimate easy listening cd.
Although I was always very fond of the earlier mentioned recordings in Toronto, this concert is even better.
Since I bought it, it never left my cd-player.
Do yourself or your girlfriend or wife a pleasure and buy it!
I am sure it will give you hours and hours of tender
Arnold van Kampen,writer about jazz, Netherlands.
