One of the hardest albums to acquire for most Dave Brubeck fans is In Berlin, a
1964 concert by his quartet released only in Germany by CBS. Since the set list
includes two songs that were recorded at the 1963 Carnegie Hall concert, that
may be why it wasnt also issued in the United States by Columbia, though the
performances are sufficiently different and well played. Desmond is witty as
usual in St. Louis Blues, though Brubeck adds an amusing Charlie Parker lick in
his solo and bassist Eugene Wright also shines. Brubecks Koto Song, which had
just been recorded a few months earlier for the LP Jazz Impressions of Japan,
gave the audience a taste of something new. The composers economical solo
contrasts with his supposed reputation for heavy-handed playing. The groups
breezy rendition of Take the A Train is followed by the inevitable Take Five.
Recorded for radio broadcast by WDR Cologne, the commercial release was an
afterthought following the concert, when Brubeck asked about the possibility.
Briefly reissued on CD, though only in Europe, this enjoyable release remains a
difficult acquisition.
