The Dave Brubeck Quartet: Their Last Time Out

Dave Brubeck - Take The 'A' Train - 1966
Coming from one of the most consistent quartets in jazz, this final show is typically excellent, which is why it still manages to surprise you. With Dave Brubeck, it's all about the timing, and not just the strange tempos he played with in his music. 1967 was the year that saw us lose John Coltrane, and though Miles Davis was at the height of his powers with his second great quintet, their run would end shortly after '67 and Davis would wander away from jazz into fusion. It was a time when jazz as we knew it was in [...]

TO Jazz Review: Dave Brubeck Quartet, June 24, Koerner Hall

TO Jazz Review: Dave Brubeck Quartet, June 24, Koerner Hall Toronto - Dave Brubeck would probably appreciate a review of one of his shows that doesn't reference his age. Last night was the second time I've seen Brubeck and his quartet in concert, and both shows easily rank among the best jazz performances I've ever seen. The man is a master behind the piano keys, his solos are breathtaking, his absurdly long fingers just fly across his piano when he picks up the pace and are equally deft during his somber mood pieces. I can't even explain what he and his quartet do with time signatures. It's over my head. [...]

Paul Desmond - Pure Desmond

Paul Desmond - Pure Desmond Cool jazz alto saxophone. A sultry air of smooth and slick. It bounces off the walls and ceilings of train stations and into hotels and nightclubs. Like Lisa Simpson as she blows off orchestra for be-bop, it is enticing. Rock and blues guitarists created the wah-wah pedal to try to emulate the wail of the alto sax and failed brilliantly. In its purist form the alto sax finds voice in cool jazz. Ask any professional jazz saxophonist, any street-corner smooth jazz wannabe with a sense of history and hearing, "who is your musical hero?" [...]

Joe Morello – Violin Prodigy Became A Jazz Drumming Star

Joe Morello – Violin Prodigy Became A Jazz Drumming Star I was sorry to see of the recent passing of jazz drummer Joe Morello, who is probably most remembered for the years he spent as part of the enormously influential Dave Brubeck Quartet. Although saxophonist Paul Desmond and Brubeck himself got most of the attention, Morello - along with bassist Eugene Wright - helped create the sound that drew millions of new fans (including me) to modern jazz. While growing up in Springfield, Massachusetts, Morello was a violin prodigy who was so skilled that before he'd even reached his teens he had twice soloed with the [...]

Brooklyn Goes Balkan

Brooklyn Goes Balkan [Today, Chris Landriau reviews a Balkan music festival and gives an interactive lesson on Balkan rhythms.] On a Friday night in January, I joined an all-ages group of hipsters, folkies, and music lovers of all kinds that descended on Brooklyn's Grand Prospect Hall for the Zlatne Uste Golden Festival , a two-day celebration of Balkan Music and Culture. As I approached, the joyful cacophony I heard wafting through the doors promised to fulfill my quest to understand the music's infectious appeal—and to rediscover part of my family history. [...]

Si je faisais dans les clichés je dirais qu'à mon âge il... Si je faisais dans les clichés je dirais qu'à mon âge il était temps de se mettre au jazz. Mais c'est surtout l'absence de sorties en début d'année plus les offres 4 cds pour 20€ qui m'ont amené à enfin me pencher sur ce genre que j'avais ignoré jusqu'ici. Enfant et ado j'ai été souvent en contact avec cette musique puisque mon père est un grand fan de jazz (encore plus de classique). Je passais dans le salon en pensant "qu'est-ce que c'est chiant cette musique de vieux!" et je mettais Nirvana à [...]

Sunday Mix Tape Number 192

It's Sunday night. All across the country, people are watching horrible television. I know this because I drove to Nicci's house after work only to learn that she was involved in a reality cooking show, and half of her neighbors were involved in an episode of a vampire drama. The other half of her neighbors were watching Jersey Shore . This left me with nothing to do but think about blogging. I was sidetracked for a few hours by a spur-of-the-moment poker tournament, but now that I've lost my $5 I can once again focus on sharing some music [...]

Bye-Bye To Brubeck Bossa Nova

Bye-Bye To Brubeck Bossa Nova More than once, I've mentioned my long-standing appreciation for Latin jazz. I've also made no secret about being a fan of Dave Brubeck since the days when he brought jazz to the mainstream music world with his group's seminal 1961 recording of "Take Five." And in a different piece , I touched on how his group's later album, Bossa Nova USA , sort of connected the dots for many jazz fans. But there is a little more to the story. When the Dave Brubeck Quartet issued Bossa Nova USA in 1963, I [...]

Throwback Thursday: Horny Heat

Throwback Thursday: Horny Heat Whenever a new genre of music comes along, those that like it are convinced its going to take over the world. I remember as a kid thinking that everyone would like electro, freestyle, & Miami Bass more than Wilson Philips, if only they could hear it. And shortly after memorizing the lyrics to the Rappin' Duke ( I still say, "What I do on your grave won't pass for flowers either" under my breath), believing similarly that hip hop (or rap, whatever) was going to be every song on the radio. And at times, those predictions almost seem to come [...]

Take Five

Take Five So here's how the story goes. Legendary jazz pianist Dave Brubeck's long-time music partner and alto-saxophonist Paul Desmond came to Brubeck one day with a piece he'd written in 5/4 signature. That song, my friends, is the Dave Brubeck Quartet's most famous song of all time: "Take Five". Even if you don't know what I'm talking about this second, take one listen and you'll know exactly what I mean. I figured it might be a nice treat to include a remake of "Take Five" by the Kashmere Stage Band. All I can say is "FUNKAAY!" Enjoy. [...]

Autumn's Shuffle

Autumn's Shuffle "Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay." – Robert Browning There's nothing like the majestic melancholy of autumn. The cooling winds, wood smoke and mosaic of sunburned colors make for a truly magical few weeks, tainted only by a quiet apprehension of winter. Maybe it's the slow fade of fall that makes me nostalgic, but every October, I'm reminded of the autumns from years past, and specifically, what I was listening to in those times. Here's a hint: the timbre of an acoustic guitar is sweet honey [...]

TO Jazz Review: Dave Brubeck Quartet, July 1, Nathan Phillips Square

TO Jazz Review: Dave Brubeck Quartet, July 1, Nathan Phillips Square Once in a great while you may be watching a show of some sort, and at any given moment, maybe even after the show is over, it'll hit you: you're witness on this night to something that's truly special. On Canada Day in Nathan Phillips Square, there were many moments when I sat in slack-jawed amazement watching Dave Brubeck and his quartet, saxaphonist/flautist Bobby Militello, bassist Michael Moore, and drummer Randy Jones, and even more such moments when they were joined on stage by Brubeck's son Matthew on cello. But my real "holy sh*t" moment came when I [...]

Now Check Your Head has been given the same treatment despite it only being the album's 17th anniversary. Although Paul's Boutique needed a remastering job more direly, Check Your Head offers something that Paul's Boutique lacked; bonus tracks (although I believe that bonus tracks were removed from the Paul's Boutique remaster due [...]

Santa Claus Is Coming . . .

Santa Claus Is Coming . . . I promise not to overload you with Christmas tunes this year, but ever since we put up the tree, I'm a little bit more in the mood. I'd like to share a few variations on a classic tune that I dearly love. "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" is one of my all-time favorites, and here are four different renditions. The first dates from my childhood and is definitely responsible for forging my intense love of jazzy Christmas music. It's actually more swing than jazz, with [...]
