RIP: Dave Brubeck, 1920-2012

Robert Schunk · 12.05.2012, 07:22 PM

The great Jazz musician's piece "Take Five" was my intro to Jazz, as well as to other sophisticated music such as Modern Classical music and No Wave, such as Sonic Youth.

Do not grieve his death, but, rather, enjoy his life's work, such as:

(OK, so this performance is a little bit too fast, and a little bit too breathlessly energetic, but it's still EXCELLENT, and Dave's own performance on the piano is PERFECT!!!)

I wasn't aware of his thread. I scrolled down to look for a thread on this topic, but I guess I didn't scroll down far enough to catch his thread.

I'm sorry.

wtf is "RIP"

i hope you mean "inhale weed smoke, dave"

although, in my experience, corpses fart a lot. so it could be that too.

That's very disrespectful.

I'm very disappointed in you.

I thought you were better than that.

Take Five, or as i been calling it for years. Time Out, was one of those brilliant $1 thrift store vinyl jazz albums some people would drool over finding. which no doubt. just hope it's decent enough. mine was. and i still play the shit out of that album year after year after year. i forget when i got it, but it's got to be at least a good 15 years now. been holding onto that forever.

it was also one of those jazz albums i picked up and read about. but at that time. the only fucked up jazz in odd time changes and shit is alot of that insane Zappa albums. but as a musician, i started reading about the album and thought. hmm. very interesting. not like i was a huge fan of jazz, as i've only had a few Miles Davis and John Coltrane by that time in my life. but it's like finding pure gold. because, i dont find it that often where i pick up some album based on what i read on the back cover. and be able to play it over and over and over and over the day you take it home and spin it.

there was a amazing vinyl rip of "that" album on youtube but i see it's not there anymore. which sucked. it was an original stereo red and black 6 eye pressing. i watched it quite a few times on the huge ass flatscreen tv thru yt quite a few times. it was a great video. incorporated the back labels, some video footage of live preformances. like the guy who made it, put the time into it.

but yeah. it sucks that another legend is gone
i'm more amazed about how old he was
this would be the oldest musician i know of in many years
that has died.
