Notes: Recorded
at Oberlin College in Ohio this is a swingin’ set from
Dave and his cohorts. According to the liner notes drummer Lloyd
Davis was playing through the haze of a 103 degree temperature,
but it doesn’t seem to slow him down a step. Culled from
the two hour performance these four songs are the cream of the
crop. Dave’s flair for jazz flexibility is here, but he
never loses sight of the base structures of the music, playing
around the edges of the melody and weaving in and out of the
rhythm patterns. A nice relaxed pose on the front cover and as
a bonus the 10” EP comes in red
vinyl. You can never have enough Brubeck on your shelf.
