Reviews

All Music Guide – Review – copyright

For this entry in Dave Brubeck's series of Time albums, his Quartet with altoist Paul Desmond performs "Elementals" with an orchestra and plays five briefer originals including four that have unusual time signatures; "World's Fair" is in 13/4 time. It's not an essential purchase but a good example of Dave Brubeck's music.
