Untitled

In Their Own Sweet Way is a 1998 studio album by pianist Dave Brubeck and his quintet. Brubeck was accompanied by his four sons on a recording for the first time.[2][3]

The album consists of Brubeck's own compositions, with the exception of the final track, "Sweet Georigia Brown". "We Will All Remember Paul" and "My One Bad Habit" were recorded as tributes to Paul Desmond and Ella Fitzgerald respectively. The composition "Bifocal Blues" was originally called "Bitonal Blues" and humorously rechristened in honour of Brubeck's advanced age.[2]

Richard S. Ginell reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that the album "As do most of Dave's Telarc albums, this one has an autumnal tone as the mellowing septuagenarian pianist plays the wise old master, playing in a more lyrical, reflective manner, revisiting past work and contributing a few new tunes. When Dave and Darius play together, Dave still remains the more immediately striking personality while Darius leans more toward mainstream jazz styles. ...Dave Brubeck's Indian summer continues to be an unusually fruitful one".[3]

Ginell praised Darius Brubeck on "Dave 'n Darius", a duet with his father, and highlighted Dan Brubeck's "...cooking New Orleans funk (in 7/4 time!)" on "Sweet Georgia Brown."[3]
