4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Believe "Jazz Times"!, June 17, 2008

I don't know who wrote that tired, sour, jaded review of this album for the Jazz Times that amazon shows, but he/she must've been having an off day. This is a delightful group of songs, played by thoroughly competent musicians. Yes, it's totally mainstream but it's well done. If you want something melodic and well-played, that you can put on when you're having drinks or dinner with friends, this is the ticket.

Brubeck recorded this in 1997 at age 77, but you'd never know that from the lively and fresh music on this disc. Each is a Brubeck composition from the 1990's, and all of them are good. His quartet of that year might not be quite as strong as the famous bunch in the 50's and 60's, but it would take a fellow musician to detect it. If you like Dave, don't think that he wasn't still great in his later years. I found my copy at a bargain price, which makes it even more enjoyable, but I think any Brubeck or jazz piano fan would find it a good deal at the full price. Fast, slow and inbetween, with lots of time for the other instruments in addition to the piano, this CD was a wonderful suprise to me. One you can listen to several times in a row (it's 57 minutes) without getting bored.

Soy fan de Dave Brubeck, y anteriormente habia comprado su disco más reciente "London Flat, London Sharp" el cual me pareció un disco con mucha energía a pesar de las edades de los músicos. Esperaba que este disco fuera algo similar pero no es así. Si les gusta el jazz mas rítmico y "energético" definitivamente compren el de London Flat. Si gustan por un jazz mas atmosférico y relajante, éste es el disco indicado.
