|   |  Another release in Concord's series of albums paying tribute to    |   |
|   |  the Monterey Jazz Festival (previously: Cal Tjader) is one that    |   |
|   |  fits me like a bespoke suit, because it features one of my         |   |
|   |  favorites. Dave Brubeck. 50 Years Of Dave Brubeck - Live At The    |   |
|   |  Monterey Jazz Festival (1958-2007) is exactly what you'd infer     |   |
|   |  from the title, a celebration of Brubeck's many appearances        |   |
|   |  through the years. It doesn't get much better than that.           |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  Brubeck is in his eighties now and still performing, and his       |   |
|   |  appearance at the 2007 festival wowed the crowds just as much as   |   |
|   |  the one he made with the original quartet at the 1958 festival.    |   |
|   |  In fact, you could probably make a good case for Brubeck being     |   |
|   |  the heart and soul of the whole thing, because not only has he     |   |
|   |  made numerous appearances through the years, but he was in at the  |   |
|   |  beginning ? before it even existed.                                |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  Brubeck and his legendary quartet - which included alto            |   |
|   |  saxophonist Paul Desmond, drummer Joe Morello, and bassist Eugene  |   |
|   |  Wright - was the group chosen by the festival's founder, Jimmy     |   |
|   |  Lyons, to perform for local bigwigs and educate them about jazz.   |   |
|   |  It worked out pretty well for everybody.                           |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  That edition of the Brubeck quartet is heard here on the first     |   |
|   |  three tracks, which includes some familiar pieces. Among them is   |   |
|   |  a 1962 performance of "Someday My Prince Will Come," the           |   |
|   |  quartet's innovative jazz interpretation of the theme from Snow    |   |
|   |  White, and from 1966, "Take Five," a song that had a few years     |   |
|   |  earlier become a mainstream hit and brought millions of new fans   |   |
|   |  to jazz. It's fascinating to hear and compare the improvisational  |   |
|   |  play here with the familiar original.                              |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  In subsequent years, Brubeck appeared at the festival with later   |   |
|   |  groups he'd formed. One of those included Gerry Mulligan on        |   |
|   |  baritone sax, along with Jack Six on bass and Alan Dawson on       |   |
|   |  drums, and included here are a couple of pieces from that group's  |   |
|   |  1971 appearance. I especially liked Mulligan's composition,        |   |
|   |  "Jumping Bean," which features Latin accents and outstanding       |   |
|   |  solos.                                                             |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  Later Brubeck appearances at the festival included one in 1985,    |   |
|   |  when his son Chris joined in with some skillful play on the bass,  |   |
|   |  and a poignant one in 1998 when Brubeck performed "Goodbye, Old    |   |
|   |  Friend," a song he'd written as a tribute to Mulligan, who had     |   |
|   |  died in 1996. Just one of the many special moments on this album   |   |
|   |  ? highly recommended.                                              |   |
