Jarlaxle 56 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Fans? I picked up the live album "Night Shift" on CD. Pretty insane stuff, especially the version of "Travelin' Blues" on there, groove all over the place. Any recommendations as to which studio works I should pick up?

ninelives Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I like him. I have All The Things We Are which is pretty good, though I haven't given it a listen in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Take Five. That's all I know by Dave Brubeck, sum total of my knowledge, but it was a huge hit when I was a kid. I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatbo Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 great band! get 'time out', it has 'take five' on it, but the whole album is good. so is 'time further out' and 'jazz impressions of japan'. any album with paul desmond playing sax is worth your hard-earned, as far as i'm concerned...

The Pagemeister Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Dave Brubeck: An Unlikely Hit, 50 Years Strong All Things Considered, June 12, 2009 - In 1959, jazz pianist Dave Brubeck topped the pop charts and shook up the notion of rhythm in jazz with an odd-metered song called "Take Five." Only trained musicians might understand exactly what gave the Paul Desmond-penned song its flow. It was all in the time signature: five beats to the measure, a departure from more traditional four-four time in jazz. It was cutting-edge and cool — a song millions would scoop up and savor. In an interview with Michele Norris, Brubeck explains what made the time signature so difficult. "You were brought up playing in four-four," Brubeck says. "Everybody could walk to it and dance to it. Put an extra beat on it — everybody's tripping." READ MORE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
