Brubeck and Rushing is a 1960 album by The Dave Brubeck Quartet and the singer Jimmy Rushing.

The initial Billboard magazine review from 31 December 1960 commented that "This is surely a most intriguing jazz package. ...It's a swinging affair, with spontaneity and zest, and Brubeck is to be commended for being able to provide such a proper showcase for the vocalist"

The album was reviewed by Scott Yanow at Allmusic who wrote that "On ten standards Brubeck, altoist Paul Desmond and the Quartet fit in perfectly behind the great swing/blues singer Jimmy Rushing who sounds rejuvenated by the fresh setting. This disc, a surprising success, is well worth searching for."
