Plenty for the moneyFeb 10, 2011
By joebuzz1
Very happy with this collection. Excellent value for 5 CD's. Nice packaging in mini original LP jackets. One note, lack of historical discographical info. As I was curious I now present a little chronological info:
Jazz Goes To College - 1954
Brubeck Plays Brubeck - 1956
Gone With The Wind - 1959
Brandenburg Gate Revisited - 1961
Jazz Impressions Of New York -1964
After all is said and done "BUY THIS!" I mean really...

WOW do I feel cool now! Snap my fingersApr 30, 2011
By Love-bob
Dave Brubeck - the top of college cool back in the day. These classic LPs are from the time period around the Time LPs and fill in the gaps in the music.
Not only is the music great. The packaging is great. But the price is great!
I would recommend the Time series, 5 cd box set be purchased first, and then this box set. I know this is a lot of Dave Brubeck but you want to be back then when it was cool to listen to Brubeck. And after you listen to Brubeck today you are still cool. This is not 2010 jazz but a take of jazz from back in the day from the college side of the tracks.
I would also recommend just about any of the Original Album Classics box sets. They represent great bargins for the CD collector / listener. Try these other box sets to find what the other side of the tracks were about and the hotter side of jazz from back in the day.
Only warning... check your glasses... the print on the CDs is very small.

A Bounty of BrubeckNov 17, 2011
By allemande
Two of the five titles in this "Original Album Classics" set had seen no CD release before the boxed set "For All Time" appeared, and another had only been available via imports ("Time In"). This set is in essence another release of "For All Time", but with a few differences which may be of interest to potential buyers.
First, the ways in which these sets are similar: This one features, as far as my ears can discern, the identical masterings released as "For All Time". In other words, these discs sound nearly good enough to justify the years Brubeck fans had to wait for them. "Time Out", avaiable in several previous U.S. releases, saw its sound upgraded here. I had owned the imported CD of "Time In", but a comparison of the two quickly showed the domestic remastering to be noticeably superior. In addition, and in accord with the "For All Time" release, each CD label reprocduces the design of the original LP label from the era in which it first appeared. Bonus tracks, where they are included, are shared in common on the same discs in both sets.
Now to the differences between the two sets, which to some will make all the difference. "For All Time" is packaged as five individual jewel cases, one disc per case, with booklets containing both original and new liner notes and photos, and housed in a cloth-covered slipcase. The "Original Album Classics" set places each CD in a replica of the original LP-release jacket, all contained within a sturdy, glossy paper slipcase. Original liner notes may be read (with a magnifying lens) from the jackets, and a note from Sony on the slipcase offers more information about the albums through their presence on the Web.
Should the reader be unfamiliar with Dave Brubeck or these albums, this body of music represents the Quartet's forays into time signatures previously alien to jazz. Four beats to a measure of music, sometimes three--this was jazz before Brubeck. Beginning with "Time Out", these five albums chronicle ever more adventurous metric schemes--five beats per measure ("Take Five"), seven beats ("Unsquare Dance"), the players somewhat insecure at the beginning, but quickly mastering their innovations. And above all, they swing. Musically, and apart from any experiments in meter or rhythm, these fellows and their material are first rate.
For some buyers, the deluxe boxed set "For All Time" will undoubtedly be the choice, including as it does those nice booklets with new text and photos. But the identical music packaged quite adequately, and taking a fraction of the shelf space occupied by five jewel cases in a box, can also be appealing. I felt compelled to go to the more minimal "Original Album Classics" box because of space being at such a premium around my house these days. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that others have similar issues.
At any rate, if you like Dave Brubeck, you will own one or the other of these sets. And a person looking for a place to begin an appreciation of Brubeck can hardly do better than this. I hope this writing will help you decide which of the sets might satisfy your personal preferences and needs. Happy listening!

Get the 'For All Time' Box Set Instead...Mar 07, 2011
By D. J. Krug
Same 5 albums, but with jewel cases, liner notes, and a nice slipcover. As of this writing (March 2011) same price, too.
