Dave Brubeck and Jay & Kai • At Newport

 

Brubeck and Jay & Kai at Newport Review
by Scott Yanow
This historic LP finds the Dave Brubeck Quartet performing two standards ("Take the 'A' Train" and "I'm in a Dancing Mood") along with the pianist/leader's "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "Two-Part Contention." Altoist Paul Desmond is in fine form as is the supportive drummer Joe Dodge who would soon leave the Quartet; Joe Morello was his eventual replacement. The second part of this LP is the final performance by the two-trombone J.J. Johnson-Kai Winding Quintet before they broke up after two years of steady work. Overall, this album gives one a good look at two of the most popular jazz groups of 1956.

Brubeck y Jay & Kai en Newport Review
por Scott Yanow
Este histórico LP encuentra al Dave Brubeck Quartet interpretando dos estándares ("Take the 'A' Train" y "I'm in a Dancing Mood") junto con "In Your Own Sweet Way" y "Two-Part Contention" del pianista/líder. El contralto Paul Desmond está en buena forma, al igual que el batería Joe Dodge, que pronto dejaría el cuarteto; Joe Morello fue su eventual sustituto. La segunda parte de este LP es la última actuación del quinteto de dos trombones J.J. Johnson-Kai Winding antes de que se disolviera tras dos años de trabajo constante. En general, este álbum ofrece una buena visión de dos de los grupos de jazz más populares de 1956.
