Smokin' Family Performance.......2007-05-11

As if Dave Brubeck wasn't already a monster talent, his sons? The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree here. By luck I got to see them live in '73 at the Waikiki Shell, front row, center. One of the most astonishing shows I've ever seen. The drummer Danny was 18 years old and played this little black Fibes kit and just ripped our heads off! Chris and Darius had equal genius on their instruments and Dave couldn't be more proud. Blue Rondo and Circadian are my faves but I agree with the other reviewer here that "Thank You" is one of the most beautiful piano pieces ever. Thrilled that the CD finally showed up, my vinyl's shot!

Long-awaited CD release.......2005-10-28

I first heard this album at its original release. I'd been familiar with Brubeck from his earlier performances, but was completely unprepared for this. If you're already a Brubeck fan, you'll love the incredible performance of Blue Rondo a la Turk: electric violin and a rocking harmonica solo. Brubeck's in fine form as well.

But the core reason for buying this CD; the last track, "Thank You". It is literally the most beautiful piece of solo piano music I have ever heard. Period. If you can imagine Chopin fused with the best jazz piano you've ever heard, you'll come close. (But just buy the CD and listen to it. You'll see.)

The other tracks on this CD are certainly worthy and well-performed, but they're like the other mountains around Everest: comparatively, just places that aren't quite as high. I'm giving it five stars because of the two unequaled perfomances. It's not often that I'd recommend buying a CD for just one track, but for "Thank You", I can't say enough.
