The Eurasia album has some interesting textures, and is very different to Time Out.
The 1954 Storyville set isn't all that well recorded - technology for live recordings being what it was back in the early fifties.
Jazz Impressions of the USA is split over the two sets and is good but not great.
Where do they all belong? These great value reissue packages are my final batch of Dave Brubeck albums on CD.

I think my dad would have been impressed by how many Dave Brubeck albums I actually own - many more than he did when he was around.
