It was in 1959 that they first got together – the same year Brubeck released his most enduring piece, “Take Five.” Here, they play it for a delighted crowd, along with other standards like “In Your Own Sweet Way.” Desmond takes center stage (he is the song’s original composer) and delivers a feather-light style, weaving the melody like a silk thread around the bouncing of Brubeck’s chords. Joe Morello is a magician on the kit, afforded a long and famous solo, while Eugene Wright works a pensive, strolling bassline into the mix. It is hard-won mastery disguised as something light and easy. The result is simply wonderful.
