The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz Red Hot And Cool - Pure DSD
Released in 1955, this album represents a transitional period in jazz, blending the spontaneity of bebop with the more subdued, intricate arrangements that defined cool jazz. Brubeck and Desmond were key figures in this movement, known for their emphasis on melody, counterpoint, and rhythmic sophistication.
While Jazz: Red Hot and Cool didn’t achieve the landmark success of Time Out (1959), it was well-received for its fresh and sophisticated take on live jazz performance. The title reflects both the "red-hot" energy of live jazz and the "cool" sensibilities of Brubeck's sound.
