All the Things We Are
is a bit unusual in the
Dave Brubeck
discography. The pianist is heard in a quartet with altoist
Lee Konitz
on
"Like Someone in Love"
and a brief
"Don't Get Around Much Anymore,"
with
avant-garde
giant
Anthony Braxton
(also on alto) featured on
"In Your Own Sweet Way,"
while both
Konitz
and
Braxton
team up for
"All the Things You Are."
In addition, the
Brubeck Trio
(with bassist
Jack Six
and drummer
Alan Dawson
) plays an exquisite and frequently exciting 21-minute, five-song
"Jimmy Van Heusen Medley."
A total success, this "
experimental
"
Brubeck
set is highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
