I love this album. Dave has a huge catalog of music and I was thinking that I'd add some more to my collection. What would you recommend?

"Red, Hot, and Cool."

"Jazz at the College of the Pacific."

I tend to gravitate toward his earlier stuff up to Time Out and some stuff right after.

A general rule is to look for Paul Desmond in the band. After Paul left, Brubeck is much more paino oriented (not that that's a bad thing).

There's a good article, with some downloads, here:

The Paul Desmond era is very good (1951-1967). I love his instantly recognizable alto sax.

Jazz At Oberlin
Red, Hot And Cool (Ken's suggestion)
Time Further Out (Spartanmanor's suggestion)
At Carnegie Hall
Time Changes
Time In (If you can find it. Great recording)

We're All Together Again For The First Time (with Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond, 1972)

His newer stuff with Bobby Militello on alto sax is pretty darn sweet also.

London Flat, London Sharp
The Crossing
So What's New?

Aside from the already mentioned, Concord on a Summer Night (1982) is a wonderfully live album. Btw... Concord is his home town. Good stuff!

I have a sealed Columbia two-eye LP of "Jazz Impressions of Japan" that I will now open based on this thread.

Review later.

The piece called 'Love Walked In' on this album is just wonderful!

It's much easier to just get it all. If it says Brubek on it you can't go wrong. Even if you don't like it at first blush, it will eventually grow on you.

Brubeck's Time Out is like the Harry Potter of jazz...it interested alot of people who would have otherwise not gotten into jazz (or reading, in Potter's case). I'm partial to Dave Brubeck Plays Cole Porter...but I can't explain why I like it so much!

Dave Digs Disney is superb.
Anything Goes is essential. Dave Brubeck plays Cole Porter
Time Further Out is the logical sequel to Time Out. Every bit as superb an album to boot.
Time Changes is recommended.

Time Further Out is headed my way. Thanks for all the great recs and I'll probably be looking at this list again for the next Brubeck album. So many wonderful albums and so little time and money.

Times Changes.Worth it for the second-side long quartet/orchestra opus,
"Elementals".I'm awaiting a possible lp copy.Hope the guy still has it.Had it a long time ago,what a blast.
It's worth it too to get a copy of the mid '70s 2 lp set,"Dave Brubeck's All Time Greatest Hits".

I have a soft spot in my heart for Brubeck because I bought "Time Out" for a quarter in a record bin at a second hand store in the early 70's. It was my first jazz album and I listened to it constantly for about a week. Got solidly hooked on jazz!

Count me in as another person who recommends At Carnegie Hall (live). It's a double album. That and Time Out are the only ones I have heard, but they are both great. There are some real heroics performed on the live album, including an unusual but cool song in 11/8 time. :)

Fully agree; this is an excellent album.

Also concur on Jazz Goes to College and London Flat, London Sharp.
