  • Description

    180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL - THE COMPLETE CONCERT - LIMITED EDITION. The first regular Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond included Joe Dodge on drums and, brothers Bob or Norman Bates on bass. In 1956 Joe Morello took over as the quartet's drummer in place of Dodge, and with his arrival the classic Dave Brubeck Quartet" was born.

    Jazz Goes to Junior College is, therefore, a recording that shows a transitional phase of the quartet. It also marked a return to recording live concerts, of which this LP was a sequel to the Brubeck Quartet's hit Jazz Goes to College, recorded during a series of college concerts dates in 1954.

    "These five tracks were taken from concerts at Fullerton and Long Beach junior colleges, near Los Angeles. There's the concert atmosphere here, the relaxed flow of creativity from Desmond, the often tense counterpoint of Bates, and some easy-swinging drumming by Morello. Dave's playing is, as usual, firm and assured." - **** Down Beat (Dom Cerulli)
