Brubeck & Desmond 1975:<br />

The Duets<br />

Dave Brubeck; Paul Desmond<br />

Horizon SP703<br />

This album is a total delight. The<br />

wonderful introverted, introspective<br />

world of Desmond is at its best here. in the intimacy of this musical setting<br />

The feeling of ESP between the two he demonstrates a less percussive<br />

musicians is almost too good to be approach to the piano than on some<br />

true. In the entire history of the music other recordings, replacing it with<br />

itisdifficulttothinkoftwomusicians a sensitivity which complements<br />

better suited to each other. beautifully the meandering lines of<br />

Dave Brubeck's harmonic sense the alto sax. Without bass and drums<br />

DISCO\ ERn.s<br />

musical freedom that such a sparse<br />

instrumentation brings to creative<br />

spirits. Harmonic boundaries almost<br />

cease to exist because of the<br />

amazing empathy Brubeck and<br />

Desmond have with each other. To<br />

Quote Paul Desmond: ''. ... an almost<br />

eerie feeling of freedom occurred<br />

which seldom happens when there<br />

are other instruments to be<br />

considered."<br />

With Desmond it is always a<br />

matter of less being much more. His<br />

minimalist approach has been his<br />

hallmark and he carries it to a high<br />

art form - that and his introverted<br />

sense of humour with obscure<br />

quotes liberally sprinkled among his<br />

wonderful harmonic and melodic<br />

variations. These Foolish Things is<br />

prime Desmond and worth the price<br />

of admission alone.<br />
