Excerpt of a review from the Providence Journal:

The emotional center of the afternoon was the guest appearance of
iconic pianist Dave Brubeck with Wynton Marsalisí group.
Marsalis brought Brubeck (who was given a heroís welcome when he
arrived at the Fort) to the stage, introducing him as
ìmore than a legend.î Brubeck and the group then did a swinging
version of Brubeckís ìBlues for Newport,î followed by a tender duet
between the two stars on ìThese Foolish Things.î Then Brubeck
rolled back a few decades with a powerful, fleet reading of his
Chopin-based ìThank You,î then finishing his appearance with
ìTake The A Train.î

Recorded 3 days before Dave Brubeck’s 90th birthday. Dave and the band are in good spirits and the audience is clearly happy to be there. It was a long show with a wide variety of material. At the start of the 2nd set, the audience members start to spontaneously sing Happy Birthday. Dave picks up on it and they improvise for several minutes on a theme of “Happy Birthday to You.” Near the end of set two they do Take Five in response to a request. Then a big cake is brought out. If you listen you can hear Brubeck notice that he has gotten frosting on his jacket while blowing out the candles. He says “This suit was brand new….. 20 years ago!”

Program:
“A Library of Congress ìLiving Legend,î 90-years-young pianist Dave Brubeck proves jazz is the fountain of youth, as he performs with his quartet to orchestral arrangements of ìA Salute to The Count ñ The Basie Band Is Back in Townî and other compositions. The program also features the fiftieth anniversary of the chart-topping ìTake Five,î performed by The Dave Brubeck Quartet on their 1959 album “Time Out”, which remains one of the best known jazz standards ever.” – bso.org

Note: My recording of most of the first hour of this broadcast – mostly the usual Pops fare [movie themes by John Williams, some light classical pieces etc.] was ruined by radio reception problems, but I was able to record the entire second set including the Dave Brubeck Quartet with few if any problems. I’m including two clean tracks from the first set and the standard Boston Pops concert closer, Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever,” as filler [tracks 13-19].

Baltimore’s Artscape Festival
August 2000
By Bob Jacobson

Talk about class. Before one note was played, Dave Brubeck introduced the members of his band. They were Randy Jones on drums, Chris Brubeck on electric bass and trombone and Bobby Militello on alto sax. Artscape, by the way, is a free weekend-long festival of the arts held in Baltimore, Maryland each July, sponsored by the Mayor’s Advisory Committee on Art and Culture.

Nearing age 80, pianist/leader Dave Brubeck seems to be maintaining his high levels of creativity, energy and excitement. He just composed fifteen songs for the quartet’s upcoming album.

The band led off with one of Brubeck’s perennial favorite’s, W.C. Handy’s ìSt. Louis Bluesî, complete with funky introduction, saxophone so hot the crowd burst into applause during Militello’s solo, and Dave really working the tune. On ìBlue Rondo a la Turkî, Dave demonstrated fabulous technique and great comping during son Chris’ bass solo. Militello blew a million notes, but with soul. Brubeck’s solo introduction to ìLove for Saleî was played in epic classical style at times. Again, excellent comping for the sax solo, including rhythmic repetition of some of Militello’s licks. I thought the piano solo showed Errol Garner influence. Brubeck actually played rhythmic counterpoint with himself! Next up was Brubeck’s gorgeous new ballad, ìAll My Loveî, dedicated to his wife of 57 years, played as a duo with Militello. On ìThe Basie Band is Back in Townî, all members played stylistic touches reminiscent of that band. For old time’s sake, Brubeck threw stride into his solo. Chris B. took an excellent trombone solo. The last tune was, of course, ìTake Fiveî, a hard-driving version which afforded Randy Jones his only solo, hard-swinging, intricate and so interesting that Dave stood to check it out.

The only down note of the set was that the drums were already being whisked away by the stage crew as the crowd of 1,500 responded with encore-baiting enthusiasm.
