In this solo piano recital, Brubeck, 83, looks back on his experiences as a young army private in the closing year of the Second World War. It's a journey marked by songs as significant for their titles and unsung lyrics as their melodies. Classics like "Where or When" appear alongside playful period novelties like "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree" and "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie," with Brubeck finding unexpected depths in these lightweight themes, touching on the experiences that shaped his generation. His version of "Last Time I Saw Paris" conveys all the complexity and ambiguity of wartime, and he also plays early original compositions--"We Crossed the Rhine" and "Weep No More"--shaped by the same experience. [The limited edition includes an enlightening second CD of Brubeck reminiscing with Walter Cronkite about leading a band at the front.] --Stuart Broomer

    4 out of 5 stars Music only, but what good music it is!.......2005-04-13

    The "interview disc" existed only on a limited run of this set; what Amazon is shipping now does not include the interview disc.
    The music speaks for itself.

    5 out of 5 stars Brubeck didn't need Desmond for this one.......2004-06-03

    Even at 83, Brubeck shows that he is still a giant of the piano.
    In remembering his days in the army during WWII he has chosen
    some of the greatest songs of the era and has performed them
    masterfully, in a way that only he could. Being one of his generation, I just listened with nostalgia and in awe.
    For a jazz fan or a piano solo afficinado (or both) it doesn't
    get any better than this. And don't pass up the 2nd CD in the
    album - the reminisisces of he and Walter Cronkite make an excellent compliment to the music.
