Original Album Classics (Part Two)

This is PART TWO. Dave Brubeck, one of the most influential and respected pianists in modern jazz, celebrates his ninetieth birthday on December 6, 2010. Masterworks Jazz commemorates the occasion with the release of Original Album Classics, two specially-priced 5xCD collections of Brubeck's unforgettable albums. Each box set contains essential Brubeck titles in their original album format, packaged in individual sleeves featuring the original album art. The first box set includes the classic 1959 album Time Out (featuring the famous "Take Five") with the Dave Brubeck Quartet and the four albums it inspired in the decade that followed: Time Further Out, Time Changes, Time In and Countdown: Time in Outer Space. The other box restores to the catalog five vintage titles (four featuring his quartet with Paul Desmond) from his golden years as a Columbia Records artist (1954-70): Jazz Goes to College (1954), the solo album Brubeck Plays Brubeck (1956), Gone with the Wind (1959), Brandenburg Gate: Revisited (1961) and Jazz Impressions of New York (1964).
