Early Fantasies - The Story of the Octet, Trio & First Quartet

This is the essay written by Dave for  "Dave Brubeck - Early Fantasies"  - a Book Of The Month Club issue in consisting of 3 LP's in a box set.

Dave documents the origins of the Dave Brubeck Octet, the Dave Brubeck Trio  and the first  Dave Brubeck Quartet whose recordings were all issued on the Fantasy label.

Most people are familiar with my Quartet recordings, released between and when I was under contract to Columbia Records.
