3 1/2
While this disc of solo piano work comes and goes pretty quickly, the well endowed mood music it supplies during the brief duration makes it worthwhile. Of course it is hampered by a covers-centric theme, but Brubeck fleshes out routines by routinely putting his stamp of genius on top.

Home is where the piano is..., March 2, 2001
This review is from: Plays & Plays & Plays (Audio CD)
This is a fine late 50's Dave Brubeck solo piano session recorded at the pianist's home, creating a cozy and intimate sound. The up-tempo vamps are exciting: short and sweet! The ballads are quite lovely, especially "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" and "I See Your Face Before Me." Some interesting harmonic experiments are explored elegantly with the original "In Search of a Theme". Overall, while nothing here will "rock your world," this is a pleasant diversion for Brubeck devotees and jazz piano fans alike. (and the cover is very cool!)
