KCCK’s Featured Album for November 2023
The KCCK Featured Album for November is “Live from the Northwest, 1959” by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. This remarkable concert recording, captured by groundbreaking audio engineer Wally Heider, took place at two venues in Portland, Oregon in April of 1959. The band was playing-in some of the repertoire from the upcoming “Gone With the Wind” sessions later that month, and were just four months out from recording their classic “Time Out” album. The previously unreleased sessions are a celebration of the iconic quartet’s singular sound and stellar output of the late Fifties. “Live from the Northwest, 1959” is on Brubeck Editions Records.
