The theme for “Quiet as the Moon” was composed for a Peanuts television series, “This is America, Charlie Brown,” in which the Peanuts characters flew to the moon on a NASA space ship. Later, I set for chorus words by my wife, Iola, that describe the exquisite harmony of the universe, and acknowledges the interrelationships of mankind and the stars, earth, and moon. She based her lyrics on something Astronomer Don Brownlee wrote: “The atoms in our bodies have all resided inside stars. Most of these atoms were actually produced inside stars in the distant past. These atoms…four and a half billion years ago formed into our present solar system…. We are quite literally made from stardust.”

David Warren “Dave” Brubeck (* December 6, 1920 in Concord, California; † December 5, 2012 in Norwalk, Connecticut) was an American jazz pianist, composer and bandleader. With his quartet, he led one of the longest-lasting and most successful combos of modern jazz and conquered a new audience for jazz with the intellectual middle class. In his pieces he combined jazz with European concert music as well as with non-European music. In Brubeck’s piano playing, block chords and odd time signatures occupied a large space in the rhythmic structure of his pieces.

Forty years after his classic quartet’s first triumphant tour of the U.K. in 1958, Dave Brubeck took his then current group back for an anniversary visit, playing a mixed bag of old and new songs for fans both old and new. This time out, Brubeck’s working quartet included two British natives, drummer Randy Jones and bassist Alec Dankworth (the son of British jazz superstars Cleo Laine and John Dankworth). Brubeck himself was the obvious draw for the crowds, but it’s saxman Bobby Militello who is truly the musical star of the show. The highly regarded Militello shows he can roam across the entire spectrum of alto saxophone tonality, employing a light, delicate tone à la Paul Desmond one minute, then bearing down for some gritty, deep-throated improvisations the next. Brubeck’s unmistakable pianism remains as identifiable as ever, comping and soloing with the same energy he undoubtedly had 40 years earlier. “Goodbye Old Friend,” his solo farewell to friend Gerry Mulligan, is beautiful. The new material is more interesting than the older stuff, with Brubeck’s tango “The Time of Our Madness” and blues-inflected “Oh You Can Run (But You Can’t Hide)” particular standouts. However, Militello enlivens even the old warhorse “I Got Rhythm,” and Brubeck himself digs fresh ideas out of “Deep Purple”.

Over a long career that is still going strong, Dave Brubeck has always been one of jazz’s most popular performers. Furthermore, that success has not been achieved at the cost of compromising; Brubeck has consistently experimented with rhythms, time signatures and tonalities not often found even in jazz. At the beginning of his career, his influences were the great piano players of early jazz – Duke Ellington, Art Tatum and Fats Waller, and, like Ellington, as his career developed he introduced extended pieces into his repertoire of self-composed material. Music for ballet and theatre features amongst his work, and he has written an oratorio, a Mass and tone poems. Brubeck has performed regularly for American presidents, and he has toured the world many times over. Dave Brubeck is one of the giant talents of jazz.

This double-disc set is a determined effort to clear the shelf and record as much of Dave Brubeck’s classical output as possible while the composer was still around to participate and guide the performers’ hands. The project was done in only four sessions at London’s Abbey Road Studios without the benefit of tuneup concerts; conductor Russell Gloyd says that the London Symphony Orchestra and London Voices were practically sight-reading throughout…

Many of his compositions have become jazz standards including “In Your Own Sweet Way” and “The Duke”.

Often incorrectly attributed to Brubeck, the song “Take Five”, which has become a jazz standard, was composed by Brubeck’s long-time musical partner, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond Appearing on one of the top-selling jazz albums, Time Out, and written in time, “Take Five” has endured as a jazz classic associated with Brubeck.

While Paul’s lyricism was missed, Dave, Gene, and Joe’s playing was incredibly strong, high energy & swinging.
To the Brubeck family’s knowledge, this is the only recording of Dave Brubeck, Eugene Wright & Joe Morello as a Trio.
