Legendary jazzman Dave Brubeck enjoyed his 90th birthday yesterday. He may be 90, and just recently gotten over pacemaker surgery, but that didn’t stop him playing a weekend engagement last week at New York's Blue Note Club.
Here he is with his Quartet in the 50s, with Paul Desmond on saxophone (Brubeck is the egg-headed looking chap on piano comping in behind him).

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
That's amazing. I had no idea Brubeck was still performing.
ReplyDeleteHis Time Out album is a real classic in the field, very innovative for 1959 and still highly listenable.
