The first regular Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond included Joe Dodge on drums and either Bob or Norman Bates on bass. In 1956, Joe Morello replaced Dodge on drums (the Bates brothers would be replaced by Eugene Wright on bass a few months after this album was recorded, and it was with his arrival that the "Classic Quartet" was born). Jazz Goes to Junior College is therefore a recording that reflects a transitional phase of the quartet. It also marks a return to "live" albums after recording several studio albums. This is a "sequel" to the success of the Brubeck Quartet's Jazz Goes to College, recorded at various university concerts in 1954.
