Paul Desmond - alto saxophone

Although Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond made many rewarding recordings together,
this was their only duo album; it was inspired by several duo performances on
board a cruise ship. Their magical ESP is evident from start to finish. Brubecks
lyricism throughout these sessions will surprise critics who label him as
bombastic, while Desmond, known for his pure dry-toned alto sax, throws a few
curves to his longtime fans. The loping waltz treatment of Alice in Wonderland
and a delicate interpretation of the Mexican folk song The Blue Dove contrast
with their abstract approach to Stardust. The especially adventurous
introduction to Brubecks oriental blues Koto Song opens with Desmond providing
percussion by tapping on his instruments keys without blowing; the piece then
slowly evolves from random-sounding fragments into its haunting theme. Their
return visit to Balcony Rock, a collaborative effort from the 1950s, is an
absolutely buoyant miniature. Brubeck performs his Summer Song alone in a mood
of celebration, unlike the wistful flavor of his first recording of it with
Louis Armstrong. The audio source for You Go to My Head is a BBC videotape made
during the concert which inspired the making of this album, but the memorable
interaction between the two musicians during this performance should be
considered one of the high points of their respective careers. This is an
essential acquisition for fans of Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond.~Ken Dryden
