Jazz Impressions Of Eurasia - Dave Brubeck

Columbia Records CL 1251
1958

From the back cover: In early February 1958, the Quartet and I boarded a Pan America Clipper for London. Our tour, which began in England, took us through the countries of Northern Europe, behind the Iron Curtain into Poland, through the Middle East (Turkey, Iran and Iraq) and on into India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Ceylon. When we returned to New York in the middle of May, we had traveled thousands of miles, had performed over 80 concerts in 14 different countries, and had collected a traveler's treasure of curios (see cover) and impressions (hear record) of Europe and Asia.

As in "Jazz Impression of the U.S.A.," these sketches of Eurasia have been developed from random musical phrases I jotted down in my notebook as we chugged across the fields of Europe, or skimmed across the deserts of Asia, or walked in the winding alleyways of an ancient bazaar. I did not approach the writing of this album with the exactness of a musicologist. Instead, as the title indicates, I tried to create an impression of a particular locale by using some of the elements of their folk music within the jazz idiom.

From Billboard - November 24, 1958: The set is composed of musical settings based on themes suggested or acquired by the pianist and his crew on their European and Middle East trek earlier this year. It's an excellent six track set which allows Desmond his usual share of honors. Joe Benjamin is featured on bass, and Joe Morello hold down drums. It's another fine offering by the group, and another likely big seller. Good cover photo of Brubeck trying on a turban.

1961

From the back cover: Red was well on his way to becoming the best known "French harp blower" of Madison County, Ky., when some Chicago radio man had the idea of hiring him for a big-city station. So ended a promising career of harmonica playing at box socials and began, at age 20, just about the greatest number of years of top popularity any entertainer has ever known. (This album's lead-off tune, Methodist Pie, is one he's done throughout his 31 years of professional singing on radio, personal appearances and, more recently, TV.

Not long ago, Red and older brother Cotton (and enough shirt-tail kinfolks to have made Gen. Robert E. Lee a respectable sized battalion) helped Mama and Papa Foley celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary in Berea. Around the house Red found some old harmonicas, left over from the days when the family operated their little general store. When he took one of them out to the back porch to recapture some of the fun the instrument had once brought him, Red hastily discovered his playing was as rusty as the harmonica itself. "Guess I wasn't a born French harp player after all," he muttered, and returned to join the others inside.

But a born singer of country music he is. A singer of the songs that are warm and homey and as typical of the American way of life as – well, to use a well-worn phrase, apple pie. Red's singing, however, has been the "a la mode," the ice cream on top of the apple pie. For Foley's is the "something special" talent of country music.
