The Dave Brubeck Quartet in concert at the Univerity of Rome in 1959. In a nice standard called " These foolish Things" there is some wonderful creative alto playing by Paul Desmond. After the pianosolo there is some very interesting solo work by bassist Eugene Wright. <br />Dave Brubeck born in 1920 is one of the most well-known jazz pianists of all time. The classic Dave Brubeck Quartet featuring Paul Desmond's liquid alto saxophone lasted for 17 years, during which time they produced the first ever million-selling jazz tune (Take Five), toured the world many times, and introduced enormous numbers of people to the jazz sound. <br />The two other members of the quartet were Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums.
