Kennedy Center Honors/Dave Brubeck
Did anyone catch the Kennedy Ceter Honors tonight? It was a great show which featured Bruce Springsteen, Mel Brooks, Robert DeNiro and Dave Brubeck! The Dave Brubeck portion was phenomenal as they showcased his career and his music (never listened to it much but know a few tunes....I am gonna pick up a few CD's ASAP!) The highlight of the show I thought was the musical tribute to Brubeck which kicked into high gear when his 4 sons were introduced playing the music of their Father! Obviously gifted musicians in their own right Brubeck was so taken aback by their participation you could read his lips when he said "I will be God damned"...it was a beautiful moment and you could tell he was just as proud as he could be that his sons were up on stage playing his music in tribute! Great stuff!! I am looking forward to delving into Dave Brubecks music! Any fans out there? Do you have any album recommendations?

Saw the whole show... good tribute to all or them..
Time Out... start there.. think it was his biggest seller...
and ask JPI... he was/is a big Brubeck fan... think he even might remember seeing him once or twice too...  |

There are some live albums around, too, with Gerry Mulligan joining the group on baritone sax. Browse YouTube for some solo sax videos featuring Paul Desmond.

Missed the show last night, but Brubeck was a cool guy in the days when
cool was truly cool.
Caught him in the Metropole in Manhattan in the early 60's and at the Newport
Jazz Festival. 60? There was a $2 cover charge at the Metroplole and you could just about touch the "Greats" where they played behind the baah. 
Had all his music recorded on those old 8 inch reel tape recorders and on the old 78's.
Who knows where they are now or i could play them on Clammer's Victrola.
Clammah, you still using the same needle? 
Did Mel Brooks do any comedy.  Imho, the funniest comedian i ever heard.  |

Joe Morello. Very good drummer--Brubeck played some pretty sophisticated ryhthms. The entire Time Out album is played in unusual time signatures-not your basic 12 bar blues in 4/4 time. |

Joe Morello has some great chops !
A good sign of a great drummer, just watch how effortless his left hand is (right hand drummer)
Rich had arguably the greatest left hand of any right handed drummer ever ! |

Ronnie I can't disagree with you there.....but Krupa was doing it years before Buddy Rich! He was a trail blazer of sorts! Your talking mid to late 1930's he was bangin' like nobody else! I remember the first time I saw Buddy Rich....it was on The Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson! I had never seen or heard of him before and this "old guy" sat down at that drum set and I was just bLOwN AwAY!!! He was amazing!

hold on a minute here....is this Big Fish getting into JAZZ?
Larry, if you like Brubeck, this opens a WHOLE new world. I'm not a big fan of Brubeck but always liked Paul Desmond style a lot, beautiful tone on an alto. I really think there are a ton of people you would like much more. Knowing your love of EC adn SRV and blues based music, I think you need to send me your address again and I'll make you a mix that will convert you. Guaranteed.

you need guidance BF!!! A lot of Jazz guys changed styles frequently. I am a HUGE Coletrane fan but would not reccomend his Newport 63. he starts playing "free" adn will really turn you off! Get Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" and "Blue Trane" by Coletrane - both amazing records featuring Coletrane. If you like those, get Giant Steps and Coletrane Jazz!
