Review
by Scott Yanow
In 1998, Columbia reissued a bunch of CDs by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, often adding one or two previously unissued selections to the sets. Buried Treasures: Recorded Live in Mexico City, however, is something different, for none of the music had been out before. Recorded live in 1967 during a tour of Mexico that also resulted in the album Bravo! Brubeck!, the set features the classic Brubeck Quartet (with altoist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright and drummer Joe Morello) performing seven selections they had previously recorded, which was probably why this particular music stayed in the vaults for decades. The quality is certainly quite high, with Brubeck and Desmond really digging into such songs as "Koto Song" (coming up with some inspired ideas over its vamp), "You Go to My Head," a lengthy "St. Louis Blues," and a fairly concise version of "Take Five," one of the few versions by Brubeck of the hit song that does not have a drum solo. Suffice to say, Dave Brubeck fans only need to be notified of two things: they do not already own this music, and the Quartet is heard throughout in prime form. Recommended.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
En 1998, Columbia reeditó varios CDs del Dave Brubeck Quartet, a menudo añadiendo una o dos selecciones inéditas. Tesoros enterrados: Recorded Live in Mexico City, sin embargo, es algo diferente, ya que nada de esta música se había publicado antes. Grabado en directo en 1967 durante una gira por México que también dio lugar al álbum ¡Bravo! Brubeck!, el clásico cuarteto Brubeck (con el contralto Paul Desmond, el bajo Eugene Wright y el batería Joe Morello) interpreta siete selecciones que ya habían grabado anteriormente, lo que probablemente explica por qué esta música en particular permaneció en los archivos durante décadas. La calidad es ciertamente muy alta, con Brubeck y Desmond realmente profundizando en canciones como "Koto Song" (con algunas ideas inspiradas sobre su vampiro), "You Go to My Head", un largo "St. Louis Blues", y una versión bastante concisa de "Take Five", una de las pocas versiones de Brubeck de la exitosa canción que no tiene un solo de batería. Baste decir que los fans de Dave Brubeck sólo necesitan saber dos cosas: que no poseen ya esta música, y que el Cuarteto está en plena forma. Recomendado.
