Paul Desmond/Alto Sax
Discography: 1948-1977
This listing includes original titles and rerelease titles. Since the rereleases are more readily available they are given first.
A
beside a catalog number indicates a CD.
All dates are recording dates.
This is by no means a complete Discography. There are literally hundreds of Brubeck/Desmond releases on various labels. I have tried to concentrate on what is currently available.
A number of sources have been used to compile this Discography particularly:
- Bruyninckx, Walter. Modern Jazz: Be-bop, Hard Bop, West Coast. Belgium: Mechelen, 1985.
- Harrod, James A. Jazz, the 1950s: Index of Musicians, UCI Bookstore, Universtity of California, Irvine CA
- Raben, Erik (editor). Jazz Records 1942-1980, Copenhagen:, 1991
- Sorb, Ilse & Fischer, Klaus-Gotthard. Dave Brubeck: Improvisations and Compositions. New York: Peter Lang, 1994
- Wallace, Malcolm. Dave Brubeck Archive
As well, the following people have generously supplied information: Michael Baughan, Dan Blana, Mike Davis, Mathias Herman, Doug Ramsey, Paul Stanley, Hans van der Plas, Bert Whitford, Jim Williams.
