Additional information
Dave Brubeck Quartet: Dave Brubeck (piano); Paul Desmond (alto saxophone); Norman Bates (bass); Joe Morello (drums). Producer: George Avakian. Reissue producer: Nedra Olds-Neal. Originally released on Columbia (1059). Includes liner notes by George Avakian. Digitally remastered by Mark Wilder (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). CD contains 2 bonus tracks. Inspired by a trip with his family to Disneyland, Dave Brubeck recorded eight songs taken from four Disney movies (Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, Snow White, and Cinderella), including such melodies as "Give a Little Whistle," "Heigh Ho," "When You Wish Upon a Star," and "Someday My Prince Will Come." The funny part is that while all of these songs were already in the Brubeck Quartet's repertoire, the results are still pleasing. ~ Scott Yanow
