The Dave Clark Five are usually compared with their British contemporaries, the Beatles. Though clearly not in the same league, they don’t deserve to be completely dismissed.

One of the Dave Clark Five’s finest hours, American Tour (so named in commemoration of their first U.S. tour – it’s not a live album) is excellent from start to finish. The album encompasses slightly retrograde instrumental rock & roll, like the “Green Onions”-styled “Move On,” in addition to the sophisticated pop/rock and driving garage rock of their vocal cuts. “Because” was one of the band’s biggest American hits and, like everything on the album, was composed by its members. The mixture of jazzy chords, straight-ahead rock, and saxophone (which was pretty passé in 1964) is an interesting one, making the group less enigmatic than the Zombies and more obviously rooted in earlier rock traditions than the Beatles. Despite the adventurous construction of their vocal songs, they’re willing to use standard chord progressions for their instrumentals. In that sense, the Dave Clark Five bridged the gap between the music of Bill Haley, the Bill Black Combo, and the Beatles in a way that few other British Invasion acts did.

Time Out is the groundbreaking double-Platinum jazz classic by The Dave Brubeck Quartet. This pivotal outing is widely declared Dave Brubeck’s defining masterpiece and is one of the most innovative jazz albums of all time. It began as a musical experiment showcasing the quartet performing seven original jazz compositions, each in a different time signature and includes the massive hit “Take Five.” It soon became an iconic crossover, spending 164 weeks on the charts. In 2005, Time Out was inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry and the GRAMMY Hall of Fame. It is the first jazz album to earn a Platinum certification.
From the very first note of ‘Blue Rondo’, it was clear that this superlative example of a high-res download is destined to convert disbelievers. By the time they hear the piano on ‘Kathy’s Waltz’, they’ll be hooked. Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News & Record Review

“Newport 1958” is a live album by pianist Dave Brubeck and his quartet recorded at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island of music by and associated with Duke Ellington. Several of the tracks were later re-recorded in New York City due to sound problems with the live Newport recordings.
These performances by the Dave Brubeck quartet recorded in 1958 during the opening night of Newport’s Jazz Festival, are an impressive tribute to Duke’s music, and among the very best of the Brubeck quartet offerings. His undeniably individualistic piano is strong, assertive and imaginative, while Paul Desmond is eloquence personified, his playing full of the subtlety and taste for which he was rightly celebrated, everywhere lyrical, beautifully conceived, liquid in tone, and utterly relaxed in execution. Joe Morello’s impeccable taste and invention in support and as a soloist underlines how valuable he was to the Brubeck quartet. And, with Joe Benjamin, he is part of a thoroughly relaxed rhythm section.

With the popularization of bossa nova in the early ’60s, practically every recording artist had to have at least one bossa nova album. This effort by the Dave Brubeck Quartet is better than most due to the high quality of the compositions, of which the title cut is best-known. The date’s two standards (“This Can’t Be Love” and “Trolley Song”) also fare well on this upbeat session.
