Reviews
All Music Guide - copyright
The Dave Brubeck Quartet (with altoist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright, and drummer Joe Morello) is in excellent form for this typical program from the mid-'60s. In addition to standards such as "St. Louis Blues," "Tangerine," and "These Foolish Things," they perform Brubeck's originals "Cultural Exchange" and "Koto Song" along with a brief version of "Take Five."

Press release by Gambit Records on CD issue.
Presented here for the first time ever on CD, this release contains a splendid 1965 concert by the Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond recorded in Ontario, Canada. Here then is the quartet under the ideal and stimulating surroundings of the Stratford Music Festival. A live, knowledgeable audience always brought out the quartet's best efforts. The rapport and interchange of ideas between Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond and between the quartet itself was a thing of beauty. Dave is at his creative and swinging (contrary to a few so-called critics, probably the same critics who claimed Monk did not swing) best on this recording, while Paul's ideas flow, sing, and build effortlessly and naturally. A superb concert.
