Issued in 1970, it finds the alto saxophonist framing familiar songs with relaxed bossa nova inflections and the kind of understated phrasing that made him one of cool jazz’s most distinctive voices. Rather than copying the originals, Desmond reshapes them into poised instrumental performances that highlight the strength of the melodies and his own dry, singing tone. The result is a refined crossover record that shows how naturally pop songwriting could move into a jazz setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre:

defined some of cool jazz’s most distinctive music. Drawn from sessions released in 1975, the album highlights the pair’s easy rapport: Brubeck’s harmonic invention and rhythmic poise answering Desmond’s airy, melodic alto saxophone. With standards and originals such as “Koto Song” and “Stardust”, the set favours elegance over display, turning understatement into its own form of drama. It stands as a refined reminder of how fully these two musicians could communicate with just piano and saxophone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Paul Desmond, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dave-brubeck-vinyl-records\"\u003eDave Brubeck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Horizon – L 36239\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_australasia\"\u003eAustralasia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1975\"\u003e1975\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cool-jazz\"\u003eCool Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paul+Desmond,+Dave+Brubeck+Alice+In+Wonderland\"\u003eAlice In Wonderland\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paul+Desmond,+Dave+Brubeck+These+Foolish+Things\"\u003eThese Foolish Things\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paul+Desmond,+Dave+Brubeck+Blue+Dove\"\u003eBlue Dove\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paul+Desmond,+Dave+Brubeck+Stardust\"\u003eStardust\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paul+Desmond,+Dave+Brubeck+Koto+Song\"\u003eKoto Song\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paul+Desmond,+Dave+Brubeck+Balcony+Rock\"\u003eBalcony Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paul+Desmond,+Dave+Brubeck+Summer+Song\"\u003eSummer Song\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Paul+Desmond,+Dave+Brubeck+You+Go+To+My+Head\"\u003eYou Go To My Head\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Horizon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50761474605121,"sku":"3836471","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/Ny04Njk0LmpwZWc_61604ffb-f19d-43c7-b52c-e617fe0e9854.jpg?v=1792557399"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/paul-desmond-vinyl-records.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
