Our Take

The Dave Brubeck Quartet are like that quirky aunt who always shows up to family gatherings with a crazy story and a bottle of wine. Their latest offering, "The Singles Collection 1956-1962," is a delightful romp through some of their most iconic tracks.

From the infectious energy of "Take Five" to the mesmerising rhythms of "Blue Rondo a la Turk," this album is a rollercoaster of musical goodness. Brubeck's piano skills are as smooth as butter, gliding effortlessly over the jazz-infused arrangements.

The standout track for me has to be "Unsquare Dance," a toe-tapping, head-bobbing masterpiece that oozes cool. It's like stepping into a smoky jazz club in the 1960s, surrounded by hipsters and beatniks grooving along to the infectious beat.

But it's not all fun and games - tracks like "Strange Meadowlark" and "Summer Song" showcase the Quartet's softer, more contemplative side. Brubeck's intricate compositions are a testament to his genius as a musician and a bandleader.

So grab a glass of wine, put on your beret, and let The Dave Brubeck Quartet serenade you into a jazzy bliss. "The Singles Collection 1956-1962" is a must-have for any music lover looking to add a touch of class to their collection. Cheers to that!
