Darius Brubeck - Theme From Limelight Smile

Review by Birgit Krols

Darius Brubeck's latest album, Theme From Limelight Smile, is a masterful collection of jazz compositions that showcase his skillful piano playing and his unique musical style. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are infused with Brubeck's signature blend of blues, swing, and bebop.

From the opening track, "Blue Rondo a la Turk," Brubeck's piano playing is front and center, with his nimble fingers dancing across the keys. The album also features standout tracks like "Take Five," which showcases Brubeck's ability to take a classic jazz standard and make it his own.

Throughout the album, Brubeck is joined by a talented group of musicians who help bring his compositions to life. The interplay between the piano, bass, drums, and saxophone is seamless, creating a rich and textured sound that is both engaging and dynamic.

Summary by Birgit Krols

Theme From Limelight Smile is a must-listen for any jazz fan. Brubeck's talent as a pianist and composer is on full display, and the album is a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of jazz music.
