Incredible Find!

Quite Possibly the Rarest Reel To Reel Tape, by Dave Brubeck and / OR Gerry Mulligan!!!

DAVE BRUBECK TRIO,

GERRY MULLIGAN

&

THE CINCINNATI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA:

"BRUBECK / MULLIGAN / CINCINNATI"

 

Decca/ MAGTEC

4-Track, "Now 7 1/2 ips/19 cm/sec"

Stereo Open Reel

Reel To Reel Tape.

INCREDIBLY RARE,

This is the Late issue 7 1/2 ips. Magtec, one that was originally released at 3 3/4 ips, later reissued in an Audiophile 7 1/2 ips version.

These tapes had a round sticker, about 1 1/2", on the box, or attached to the shrink wrap, labeling the tape

"NOW 7 1/2 IPS 19 CMS"

This is one of those rare few late issue magtec reels and sounds incredible.

(Thankfully, this sticker was attached to the shrink wrap, and didnt mar the beauty of this nearly- all -black cover art, in mint condition, and I just almost never use the "M" word, without "almost" in front of it.

This is MINT!!!

This Entire package, tape, reel, reel-label, and all aspects of the box are truly in MINT Condition!

 

This tape plays GREAT On My System!

IN FACT, THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST SOUNDING REEL TAPES I HAVE EVER HEARD, ANY LABEL, ANY DUPLICATOR, ANY SPEED!!!

Review by Ken Dryden

       This third collaboration by Dave Brubeck with Erich Kunzel conducting the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra features his trio with Jack Six and Alan Dawson, as well as "special guest" Gerry Mulligan (who was essentially a member of the Brubeck Quartet by the time of the recording); it was originally released as a Decca LP.

        Although its primary feature is a revival of Brubeck's extended piece for jazz quartet with orchestra, "Elementals," with Mulligan taking the place of alto saxophonist Paul Desmond on the original date, there are four other originals that merit attention.

       With one exception, Brubeck wrote all of the arrangements.

       This is the debut recording of "Happy Anniversary," an upbeat joyful composition that opens the disc with a flourish.

      "The Duke," a piece that has been recorded frequently by its composer over his long career, is heard in a swinging arrangement by Frank Proto, and features a typically lyrical solo by Mulligan.

        Both the subdued, almost mournful "Blessed Are the Poor" and the brief but intense "Forty Days" were conceived as movements for Brubeck's larger sacred works, although they work very well as instrumentals, too.

         This is easily one of the better examples of a jazz group integrated with a symphony orchestra, and it is highly recommended.

 

 

This tape sounds spectacular!
