Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A must buy.......2007-03-04

This is a classic album with Dave Brubeck at his best. A collectors item.

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Quartet.......2007-01-03

I think that Paul Desmond was second only to Johnny Hodges as an alto player. I have always considered
this group supurb.

5 out of 5 stars Jazzman since 1942.......2006-11-09

I purchased the CD in order to compare it with my original vinyl LP version of the concert,which I bought end of 1960. The result: The original LP played with a o.5 mg Shure system on the grooves transfers more feeling between the group and the great audience in the Carnegie hall that night. Maybe its also a little bit psychology involved. However, could it be that the zero/one editing technique is somewhat weaker than the transfer of soundwaves to the mother printing material??
Anyway The concert on CD is a must in all that Jazz collections, therefore the 5 stars.

This is no doubt the most important, most exciting representation of the post-Take 5 quartet on record. Both Brubeck and Desmond are on fire, and the rhythm section of Gene Wright and Joe Morello insures the flames remain bright. And unlike the studio album, "Take 5," the odd time signatures by this time have become so second-nature to the musicians that extended, extemporaneous improvisation is the order of the night. Simply put, "At Carnegie Hall" recalls the earlier college concert dates but with the addition of a state-of-the-art rhythm section and the bold, virtuosic confidence that come with experience and success.

At the same time, the earlier recordings have their own strengths. Nowhere does the quartet sound more genuinely inspired than on "Jazz at Oberlin," "Jazz at the College of the Pacific," and "Jazz Goes to College"--performances that are characterized by in-the-moment creation and the sheer joy of discovery. Listen to Brubeck's heavy-handed bitonality and polyrhythmic thunder on "St. Louis Blues" from the Carnegie Hall date. It's in many respects dramatic and engaging but in a calculated, crowd-arousing manner that is not the case on the earlier, 1950's live recordings. Even though the other members of the rhythm section--usually Bob Bates and Joe Dodge--are clearly not marquee musicians, they're as empathetic and supportive a pair of team players as the two emerging stars could ask for.

Forget "Time Out" and go directly to "At Carnegie Hall." But on the way be sure to check out Oberlin, College of the Pacific, and those other academic venues so vital to Brubeck's and any jazz listener's education.

Jazz at the top of performing and recorded as I was there. That's how everything should be. Joe Morello on drums was my favorite and in this recording he is outstanding playing at the upper edge of drum-making.
I love this recording of Castilian drums and so on.
Dave Brubeck and even Paul Desmond plays at the top of their musical highs.
