The Great Concerts is a jazz live album by The Dave Brubeck Quartet. It was originally released on LP and CD under the series Columbia Jazz Masterpieces, in 1988. Then, it was re-released in 1998[1] and again in 2009. It includes live recordings from 1958 and 1963 (see below for an accurate description of the recordings). The pieces were produced by associated producers: the first six tracks were produced by Teo Macero and Mike Berniker; track 7 and 8 by Berniker and Cal Lampley.

Most of the material had been previously released on now out-of-print LPs, In Europe and At Carnegie Hall. However, some of the tracks included here are previously unreleased.
