Paul Desmond: Cool Imagination
by David Rickert
Anyone remotely familiar with “Take Five” will recognize Paul Desmond’s dry, feathery alto instantly. However, Desmond often lived in Brubeck’s shadow, and many may not know that Desmond also recorded several fine albums as a leader as well. Brubeck and Desmond had an unwritten contract that the altoist would not play with any other pianist, and ...

Paul Desmond: Lemme Tell Ya 'Bout Desmond: the Music of Paul Desmond
by C. Michael Bailey
An alto saxophone tone as dry and bright as a martini with the sun shining through it. I have been listening to this disc over and over and over. My knowledge of Desmond is admitted limited. Sure he penned “Take Five" and was a mainstay with Brubeck in the '50s and '60s. And sure he has ...

Paul Desmond: Take Ten
by C. Andrew Hovan
As legendary a group as the Dave Brubeck Quintet was during the '60s, the fact remains that front line alto man Paul Desmond made some of his finest recordings away from Brubeck and on his own, first for RCA and then for CTI. His RCA sides present the cream of the crop of his recorded legacy, ...
