The Dave Brubeck Quartet revolutionised jazz and the wider world of music with their daring compositions and timing. They pushed the envelope and changed what was expected of jazz music. The Quartet, and Brubeck in particular, strongly influenced the cool jazz period in the United States through their fearlessness in challenging the established order. As you can hear on this 'Best Of Compilation', the results remain noteworthy today. Brubeck proved that creative jazz and popular success can go together.
