Review

This excellent CD reissues the LP Brubeck Time plus half of Red Hot and Cool. One of the few early studio (as opposed to club) recordings by the early Dave Brubeck Quartet (this version has bassist Bob Bates and drummer Joe Dodge in addition to pianist Brubeck and altoist Paul Desmond), the fine unit performs nine standards plus three new compositions: "Stompin' for Mili," "Audrey" (dedicated to Audrey Hepburn) and Brubeck's classic, "The Duke." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Read About This Recording

Interchanges '54 is a generous CD that reissues the LP Brubeck Time plus half of Red Hot and Cool. These studio dates from 1954 have Brubeck, Desmond, bassist Bob Bates and drummer Joe Dodge performing such standards as Pennies From Heaven, Sometimes I'm Happy and Indiana. In addition, the quartet debuts three new compositions: Brubeck's The Duke (for Duke Ellington), Stompin' For Mili and Desmond's Audrey (dedicated to Audrey Hepburn). The interplay between Brubeck and Desmond was already quite special at this early stage and they constantly build on each other's ideas.
