«Pure Desmond» is the cool jazz album by Paul Desmond, reissued on CD by Sony Music Jazz in 2003.
The repertoire of Pure Desmond combines standards like «I'm Old Fashioned» with pieces such as «Wave» and «Theme from M*A*S*H». Paul Desmond plays alto saxophone accompanied by Ed Bickert, Ron Carter and Connie Kay, with a restrained instrumentation that leaves room for his characteristic lyricism.
Pure Desmond was originally released in 1975, produced by Creed Taylor and recorded at Van Gelder Studios; the 2003 CD edition adds three previously unreleased alternate takes.
Will appeal to fans of classic cool jazz and followers of Paul Desmond.
