Customer Reviews:

Gorgeous!.......2007-01-16

This is not quite the then-cutting-edge jazz of Brubeck's eponymous "Take Five" CD of course, but it is nevertheless immensely enjoyable.

The combination of Mexican rhythms and accents with Brubeck's unique style was stunning, plus will be accessible to a much wider audience. Tracks 4-6 are especially masterful.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!.......2003-07-28

This album has some good spots. Cieto Lindo is great. In fact, I first herd Cieto LIndo,(Brubeck's same version from this album)on a compilation, thinking the album that the song came from was great since the song was, I was rather disaponted. The album has some great streight ahead 4/4 jazz tunes, but compared to some other Brubeck albums, this album, I thought was boring. This album's all right, but lacks some great 5/4 or 7/4 tunes that made Brubeck famous. It just doesn't live up to Time Out, Time Further Out, or the concert At Carnigie Hall.

a classic.......2002-08-30

peace in the east

Definitely not enough stars for this album..........2002-02-24

To me, the whole story started in the small city of Na-Trang, Vietnam, in 93. I was crossing town, little girls were singing the sweet melody of Besame Mucho in their karaokes...

These pictures flashed back when I listened to the last CD of Diana Krall (The look of love - by the way not barely as good as when I look in your eyes). I looked for other interpretations of Besame Mucho and this is how I came to know this recording.

The tandem Brubeck/Desmond works perfectly - Adrenalin rushed strong when I listened to "La Paloma Azul", "Nostalgia de Mexico". The rest of the album is just very good.

A real treasure...

Ole'...Ole'!!.......2001-11-19

I would give this album a 6 star rating if it was possible! Beginning with the bright& happy rendering of "Cielito Lindo",through the cheerful,"Over The Waves", that makes you feel like you are sailing across the ocean on a sun-brightened afternoon,to the climatic,high-energy "La Bamba",with it's exciting back & forth exchanges between Brubeck,Morello & Agueros,EVERY song is splendid!
Even the chronology of the songs is nice,interjecting songs like Brubeck's beautiful arrangement of "La Paloma Azul",right
where it gives you a chance to let your adrenalin subside briefly,(along with platforming Paul Desmond's magnificent gifts),prior to launching you into another up-tempo number.
The only fault I find with this album is it's irresistable power to compel a non-dancer like myself to attempt to get up and tango,(or mambo or cha cha cha?)around the room each time I hear "Nostalgia de Mexico"!
