This booklet was part of a 4 disc/cassette set of Brubeck's music. Important for Dave Brubeck's musical personality are his classical works for symphony orchestra, choir, and jazz quartet, as with the New York Philharmonic, and Cincinnati Symphony. Certain musical techniques recur, such as the reversal of theme and motives, typical of the dodacaphonic system. In his choral music, homophony and polyphony alternate; often, the vocals tend to the atonal. . The design of this music is both classic and modern, which makes him comparable to Carl Orff. He is one in a series of pianist-composers such as Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Debussy, Bartok, and the Belgian Jacques Stehman. The booklet contains his biography, rare photographs, and descriptions of every track. This major release, its first ever "box set" of Dave's work is the most definitive compilation ever of Dave Brubeck's music to year of publication, 1992. Dave personally selected each track and prepared a comment on its origin for each one. The box set includes a magnificent 80 page booklet with many never seen before photographs and the best biography ever written of Dave by Doug Ramsey. This box set comes with the highest recommendation not alone for those wishing to explore the music of Dave Brubeck but for existing fans as well. The number of performers credited, 44, gives some insight into this major body of work spanning five decades. David Warren Brubeck (December 6, 1920 - December 5, 2012) was an American jazz pianist and composer, considered one of the foremost exponents of cool jazz. Many of his compositions have become jazz standards including "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke". Brubeck's style ranged from refined to bombastic, reflecting both his mother's classical training and his own improvisational skills. His music is known for employing unusual time signatures as well as superimposing contrasting rhythms, meters, and tonalities. Brubeck experimented with time signatures throughout his career, recording "Unsquare Dance" in 74, "World's Fair" in 134, and "Blue Rondo à la Turk" in 98. He was also a composer of orchestral and sacred music and wrote soundtracks for television, such as Mr. Broadway and the animated miniseries This Is America, Charlie Brown. Often incorrectly attributed to Brubeck, the song "Take Five", which has become a jazz standard, was composed by Brubeck's long-time musical partner, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. Appearing on one of the top-selling jazz albums, Time Out, and written in 54 time, "Take Five" has endured as a jazz classic associated with Brubeck. Brubeck organized the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951, with Paul Desmond on alto saxophone. They took up a long residency at San Francisco's Black Hawk nightclub and gained great popularity touring college campuses, recording a series of albums with such titles as Jazz at Oberlin (1953), Jazz at the College of the Pacific (1953), and Brubeck's debut on Columbia Records, Jazz Goes to College (1954). n 1954, he was featured on the cover of Time, the second jazz musician to be so honored (the first was Louis Armstrong on February 21, 1949). In the early 1960s, Brubeck and his wife, Iola, developed a jazz musical, The Real Ambassadors, based in part on experiences they and their colleagues had during foreign tours on behalf of the Department of State. The soundtrack album, which featured Louis Armstrong, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, and Carmen McRae was recorded in 1961; the musical was performed at the 1962 Monterey Jazz Festival. At its peak in the early 1960s, the Brubeck Quartet was releasing as many as four albums a year., Sony Music Entertainment, Inc, 1992, 2.5, Boston: Northeastern University Press, 1998.
