Paul Desmondrecorded his first two albums as a leader in 1954 and 1956, and they emphasizedwhat fans of the Dave Brubeck Quartet already knew: his lyrical alto saxophonework made him one of the great individualists in jazz. “My name is PaulDesmond,” he wrote in the notes of the first album, “and here I am 30 years oldand this is my first album in which I am not breathing down someone else’sneck...” Paul plays with considerable vitality in the first four tracks, withexcellent arrangements by Dave Van Kriedt, who shines also as a soloist ontenor sax. In his off-beat notes, Paul wrote, “Van Kriedt develops themes likesome people develop pictures.” On the second half of the record Desmond playsagainst six voices through a graceful set of arrangements, with guitaristBarney Kessel added to the rhythm section.The music on the second album features Don Elliott on mellophone in a pianolessquartet that follows the soft-styled approach they both favored. Desmond’s altoplaying is relaxed and inventive in keeping with the delicate sound.
