• “Pianist and composer Dave Brubeck showed how a labyrinthine instrumental jazz could still storm the pop charts in the 1950s and 60s – and his musician sons Darius, Chris and Dan, augmented by British saxist Dave O'Higgins, are shrewd rekindlers of the old magic that produced hits like Take Five, while adding some personal enthusiasms.”
