[Snax]

Couldn't love this more!

Very GOOD MUSIC !!!!

If you want to explain to somebody what "cool" and cool jazz meant in the 1950's, all you need to do is play this track.

[KickBack90sBeats]

ohhhhhhhh this combination of Bob Bates and Joe Dodge is unlike NO other ive heard.... Brubecks work is becoming my favorite of all jazz... overnight...

How happy Paul would have been if he had known that his adorable Audrey every evening listened to this piece.

Desmond: Unbeatable !!

@crazyurmel2

A lovely piece of Jazz.

[playbeautiful9]

I don't LIKE Jazz I LOVE Jazz!!

Paul will be my favorite of all time! But i think its another take on Audrey, listen to the ending, it's the same he played on Audrey!!

[fromthesidelines]

This was recorded on October 13, 1954, the day after "Audrey" was first "waxed".

[fromthesidelines]

Considering the fact that the album was supposed to be a "loss leader" for Columbia to get the average listener to sample several of their catalog's jazz artists in 1955, it was a GOOD one (I also enjoyed Pete Rugolo's '54 interpretation of Dave Rose's "4:20"). Interesting alternate take here....

[AlexM1979]

The whole thing is brilliant but the last 30 secs simply broke my jaw on the floor!!

[theinvisiblelight]

@AlexM1979 seriously. i transcribed it but i just can't put as much cool into it as he did.

[Jhurrr]

I like this song. I sing it every day.

[dcbandnerd]

Hey! I like jazz, too! :-D

I HAVE THIS RECORD< for only a buck

[kocn53]

I got mine for 25 cents at a garage sale in Columbia, Mo. in 1971. May not have any collector value now, but many of those old 10" LPs do, which could be obtained similarly or even for free in peoples' trash in the 1950s.

[nader05103]

Just found this record in my collection, i bought it for a dollar

[nader05103]

Thanks for showing the record, i just realize i have it in my collection, bought it for a buck

[Roy7591]

Thank you for the discovery. It completely different from Audrey, but it swings as much as it hurts

[da19lila38]

It's close to unbearable, even painful. It's love itself. Thanks kocn53!

[jasjjb]

Wow, what a superb number ! - in some parts similar to previousgreat versions and in other parts so unique and lovely. This great Desmond was a master indeed ! Many thanks again...!!!

Hey, way to go sharing the Makin' Time track. - Jim

[PTmayotte]

It illustrates the fine chemistry dave and Paul had. Who's on bass? I wonder.

[saxophoney]

Bob Bates is on bass, Joe Dodge on drums. This is an alternate take of "Audrey" found on the Brubeck Time album of 1954.

[PTmayotte]

I thought it was one of the Bates Brothers, Bob or Norman. Notice the difference between either of them and The Senator, Gene Wright.

tHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TRACK...I THINK IT IS EXCELLENT AND I WONDER IF IT IS ANOTHER TAKE ON AUDREY?

[kocn53]

At least 2 takes of a minor blues were made in the first studio sessions after Brubeck signed with Columbia. The first was softer, more romantic, and released as "Audrey", named for Desmond's infatuation with Audrey Hepburn. The second was this, "Makin' Time", with Desmond more bold and aggressive than usual. Interesting comparison, illustrates Desmond's mastery of spontaneity.
