The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Gone With The Wind - Pure DSD

Gone with the Wind

very nice sounding recording of the very early Brubeck quartet. I downloaded the DSD 128 version of this to my HAP Z1ES and it sounds excellant. Pleased with my purchase.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Gone With The Wind

This is my most favorite Dave Brubeck Quartet album! Yes! Time Out and Time Further Out come after. There is so much beauty, love and intelligence in the simplicity of this album that makes it hit your soul first and brain after.... I have all versions of this album, including the original Mono press. They all are brilliant as I guess this album was not always a priority for commercial remastering, what probably was what kept it untouched. I couldn't resist the HDTT release and I am so happy I took it. MIND BLOWING !!! NO WORDS !!! This version is as if one is in the studio next to the musicians, or at least at the control room hearing the untouched recording from an analog tape... STUNNING RELEASE !

The musicians are having so much fun, and the HDTT transfer is immensely well done

This was the eighth studio album by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. It may not be as widely recognized as some of their other albums, but it is a very enjoyable adventure with the quartet's melodic improvisation, intricate harmonies, and rhythmic exploration. What I most enjoy about this album is how it showcases the quartet's ability to reimagine familiar melodies with unique jazz improvisations and arrangements. The name of the album comes from the closing track—a jazz interpretation of the theme from the 1939 film "Gone With The Wind" which is often called "Tara's Theme," written by Max Steiner. Other classics are also included, such as "Georgia on My Mind," "Camptown Races," "Jeepers Creepers," and "Short'nin' Bread" in which call-and-response exchange between Morello's drums and Brubeck's piano is a pure treat to hear. When Desmond and Brubeck toss a brief snippet from "Blue Rondo à la Turk" into their performance of "Gone with the Wind," I get a big silly grin on my face—they are just having so much fun.   The sound of this release is that of many excellent studio Columbia jazz recordings--detailed, well balanced, great instrumental tone, and excellent dynamics. (Why Columbia could capture such excellent sound quality in their jazz releases, but such middling sonics in the classical releases, has always been one of my frustrations.) This transfer by HDTT sounds as clean, sweet and open as one might possibly hope to hear. Just immensely well done.
