Amazon Review

In the 1950s, pianist Dave Brubeck and alto saxophonist Paul Desmond toured colleges across the United States to promote jazz, gaining widespread popularity among students. This album sees the duo take on the off-beat jazz genre that was popular at the time.

The track "Take Five," featuring a rare 5/4 time signature for jazz, became an instant hit thanks to its exotic compositional quality, and some may know that it was even featured in Japanese TV commercials in later years. The combination of Brubeck's meticulous rhythmic playing, typical of white musicians, and the elegant yet refined alto saxophone playing, also typical of white musicians, allows even first-time jazz fans to accurately hear the ensemble, making this a perfect introductory album.
