Jazz Goes To College - The Dave Brubeck Quartet (Vinyl) (Import)

Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. In the spring of 1954, jazz-great Dave Brubeck did a tour of North American college campuses. Paul Desmond (alto sax), Bob Bates (bass), and Joe Dodge (drums) joined him and their support of Brubeck's uniformly flawless, ultimately producing what many consider as the most memorable music in the artist's cannon. Indeed, the genre gets schooled as the quartet leans in with striking energy and finesse. Enjoyed among college students in the 1950's and early 1960's both the tour and album brought Jazz to a whole new generation.
