Live with the LSO: The 80th Birthday Concert

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
AMAZON
The pianist-composer genius Dave Brubeck is no stranger to classical music, having studied with Darius Milhaud and performed and recorded with Leonard Bernstein. This concert, recorded December 23, 2000, at London's Barbican Centre, celebrates Brubeck's 80th birthday and teams him with the celebrated London Symphony Orchestra. It also reunites him on stage with his sons: pianist Darius, trombonist-bassist Chris, Matthew on cello, and Dan on drums. Rounding out the septet is the inventive flautist-alto saxophonist Bobby Militello and bassist Alec Dankworth. The strings swing sweetly on all the tracks, from the impressionistic "Summer Music" and the avant-rock "Four Score in Seven" to the hits "In Your Own Sweet Way" and the timeless Paul Desmond gem "Take Five." Brubeck's soloing reflects the kind of sparse, in-the pocket linearity that comes from knowing what not to play, which only a master like him would learn from a lifetime of great music-making. --Eugene Holley Jr.

REVIEW
'Dave Brubeck is unique among jazz's elder statesmen. While most have remained locked in eternal competition with their past, struggling to approximate heroic statements made in their prime, Brubeck has waited for audiences to catch up with him.' -- Daily Telegraph, 28 December 2001
