Dave Brubeck: Love Songs
ByOn this new collection, some of Brubeck’s most romantic and lovingly-delivered offerings are brought together for a career retrospective with a special angle. Handing "My Romance" over to Desmond after a solo introduction and development, Brubeck takes his own sweet time with "In Your Own Sweet Way," sharing the lead with Desmond’s flugled horn for a west side trip through Sondheim and Bernstein’s "Somewhere." The Brubeck-Desmond original "Audrey" invites the noir-y rhythmic talents of Bob Bates and Joe Dodge, and a previously unreleased session of "You Go To My Head" lets Desmond take five while clarinetist Bill Smith sits in. Though "Like Someone in Love" may be a bit peppy to relax for relaxing by the fire, Desmond’s smooth delivery and a glass of wine make it all right.
