Released on CD for the first time, this rare Dave Brubeck live concert was Recorded at Wilshire Ebell, Surf Club, Los Angeles, in 1953 - with a quartet featuring Paul Desmond (as), Ron Crotty (b), Lloyd Davis (d). Brubeck was a pioneer in the presentation of intimate concerts in colleges and universities and in the better small concert halls. This show was one of the latter, and probably one of his biggest personal triumphs to date at that time. It set high artistic standards mainly thanks to the college students (UCLA) who were aiming to bring good jazz groups to the creative atmosphere of the concert stage. The event was recorded by Dick Bock, and appears now for the first time on CD.

There are also 3 bonus tracks, recorded at Bill Bates’ home studio, Los Angeles, 1953, and at the Black Hawk, San Francisco, the same year. Indeed in ‘53, the Brubeck Quartet won both the Down Beat popularity poll, and the Down Beat critic’s poll. After this, he would soon become the most popular jazz artist since Benny Goodman.
