...freeze a moment and describe it in detail while a camera can only capture the immediacy of continuous time.

Dave, now 51, plays with all the style and elegance of Van Cliburn summoning up memories of Meade Lux Lewis. But Jazz Great Gerry Mulligan's attacks on baritone sax are crisp and clean, and Brubeck and Mulligan bob and glide together like Astaire and Rogers doing the Big Apple.
