Jazz Goes to Junior College

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1957 album from the Dave Brubeck Quartet, featuring Paul Desmond on alto sax, Norman Bates on bass, and the recent addition of Joe Morello on drums. A thematic follower to Jazz Goes to College, one of Brubeck's greatest hits at the time, the music on this album was recorded during two concerts at junior colleges in California. As a bonus, we have added two rare extended performances taped during a lecture at the University of California in Berkeley by the previous formation of the quartet, with Joe Dodge on drums. Essential Jazz Classics. 2011.
