All the Things We Are is a jazz album by Dave Brubeck released by Atlantic Records
on May 25, 1976. It is unusual in the sense that not every instrument was limited
to one person. This album features two alto saxophonists, Lee Konitz and Anthony
Braxton, and two drummers, Alan Dawson and Roy Haynes. This album was completed
through two recording sessions at the CI Recording Studios in New York City on
different dates. On July 17, 1973, the Dave Brubeck Trio (Brubeck playing the
piano, Jack Six playing the bass, and Alan Dawson playing the drums) recorded the
"Jimmy Van Heusen Medley".[2] On October 3, 1974, the recording occurred with the
group as a quintet (with the addition of alto saxophonists Lee Konitz and Anthony
Braxton while Roy Haynes took the spot as drummer. The rest of the songs were
recorded that day. Konitz played the alto saxophone in "Like Someone in Love" and
"Don't Get Around Much Anymore" while Braxton played it in "In Your Own Sweet Way".
Both Konitz and Braxton are featured in "All the Things You Are".[3] The New Yorker
claimed that this album was/is underrated in an article in 2012, following
Brubeck's death.[4]
