Album Notes & Community Reviews
Dedicated entirely to the compositions of Matt Dennis, 'Angel Eyes' is a masterclass in the Dave Brubeck Quartet's understated, elegant cool jazz aesthetic. Rather than exploring odd time signatures, the album focuses on the brilliant, lyrical interplay between Brubeck's heavy piano chording and Paul Desmond's uniquely breathy alto saxophone. It is a gorgeous, frequently overlooked standard-repertoire highlight from their classic era.
