Dave Brubeck...

Posted by: ken c on 01 February 2001

i just picked up "dave brubeck trio & gerry mulligan live at the berlin philharmonie".

great (double) album! have the obligatory "time out" and one or 2 others -- but this was a very good find. in the shop i saw a brubeck solo piano album -- and wondered what that was like --- didnt have time to sample. anyone listened to this tell me what its like? remember you are talking to someone who digs jarrett; b evans; peterson; mccoy tyner; ... etc etc.

enjoy...

Ken,

Brubeck is one of the greats. Don't hesitate.

...is one of my all time favourite 'cool' things - and must be an absolute bastard to play.

I also really like the "some of my favourite things" version that winds up to Rapsody in Blue style SHOUTING and them comes back to the dinky-dink stuff.

OK - some of his source material is a bit dodgy, but what he does with it is masterful.

Brubeck = dude.
