Iconic. Wonderful. And when I see these old clips it really bothers me that they pay so little attention to Joe Morello; Whose creative drumming and time signatures brought jazz into every living room and into mainstream music. Genius.
I have often wondered what Mozart would have thought, and then done with Jazz, or Blues or Boogie Woogie. I bet he wouldn't be able to compose fast enough. So much potential, so little time.
Mozart was supposedly a fantastic improviser. Who knows if he'd have liked jazz or not, but he'd have done okay for himself. The goal when you're up there is to _not_ think: to know the basic music and your instrument so well that you're free to interact with everyone else. If you're thinking "Oh! I voice a G minor 7 like this," you're in trouble. Kind of like if you have to reach for a dictionary in the middle of a conversation, it kills it.
I am old enough to remember Digby Wolfe. He was well spoken, along with other announcers. Stuart Wagstaff was another one who spoke clearly and distincly.🎉

A piece of jazz history. I felt very fortunate to see Dave Brubeck play late in his career. He was a master of unconventional time signatures, as shown in this video.
I remember seeing him perform this and “take five” about a week or two after I had attended a weeklong middle eastern music and dance seminar. I had a different perspective than most western audiences but still enjoyed his jazz.
Dave is the only one who reads his sheet music. At the piano he is the center of the music, the one who coordinates, the one who directs, the one who creates. A genius.
The sheets above the piano keyboard don't look like music notation but just ordinary handwritten lists/comments/notes or whatever. As far as I know, Dave Brubeck was not a strong reader of music notation.
@@Khayyam-vg9fw Thanks for your reply. In any case, those papers in that place serve the pianist for something, unless it's the supermarket shopping list or something like that.
Each of the players in the Dave Brubeck Quartet was a superb musician. If you believe that the four were famous just because they played in unusual time signatures, just listen! Blue Rondo à la Turk is played in 9/8 time, a signature that I cannot even begin to fathom, but the music is absolutely gorgeous. A quartet for the ages! Hats off to the preservationists of this great performance.
I was fortunate to see him twice in concert later in his life. One was much later, and he seemed rather weak and frail walking out to the piano. And then ... he started to play. Still full of energy and innovation and perfection.
My dad bought this album and I, as an aspiring drummer, was forever changed. Saw Joe at a clinic in Baltimore and since I had studied his books, was foulish enough to ask, do you incorporate everything in your books while playing? Duh you think! What a drummers, drummer. Thank you Joe.
I am so thankful I grew up on, among others, the Dave Brubeck Quartet. We often had the albums playing on the phonograph. I could never get enough of Dave's "block-y" style, and Paul Desmond has up until today been a major musical influence, including on my own guitar playing.
Couldn't agree more. A friend's dad told me that way back in the day there was talk about how his head was somehow perfectly sized and shaped for getting that pure tone. Like Stradivarius had a hand in making his skull. Gotta love that kind of talk from the 50s and 60s.
Look how civilized the commentary, introduction beforehand and presentation was - so intellectual, civil, , cultural, dignified, sophisticaled and DECENT - unheard of today in ANYTHING!!!

Yes, those paintings were a perfect accompaniment. PS - Whenever I try to recall the name of this great song, it usually comes out something like Blue Turk a la Rondo.
Great version! I heard the record of his classic tunes at a friends' in the 60s, never owned it; but I like this much better, freer and just really really good.
I was introduced to this as a youth via Keith Emerson's version with the Nice. Going back to the original introduced me to a new world of music to me that I call cerebral jazz. This really expanded my musical universe.
You had me at Rush. Someone else mentioned this here. I think the answer is probably. A lot of it is shared passion for, and simply choice of alternative time signatures. If you're a band into that kinda thing in the 70s, Brubeck would have been a "must listen". Brubeck was influenced by Turkish music he heard. And so it goes: wheels within wheels.
Actually ashamed of myself as a quasi-music aficionado that I’d heard the Al Jarreau cover of this back in 1982 before ever hearing of this one. His take wasn’t bad in fact. Not as solid as the OGs here of course. 👌🏻
Don't forget the head CPA: Bill Evans...I once forgot his name while talking with a friend...I said, "You know, the accountant-looking guy..." My friend said, "Oh yeah, Bill Evans." You almost need that kind of mind to play in this league.
Different than their "Time Out" album...But that's Jazz. The Paintings add nothing to the briliance of the performance, I wonder who got paid to produce them.
I have never seen a "Superbeat" Ludwig outfit in the Ludwig catalogs from this era, and Ludwig never called them "Kits" in the 1960s! Perhaps the AI shrank the Bass drum. Or, it is just a Super Classic outfit with a 20" BD. The Jazzette would've come with an 18. Mel Lewis would use a 20" BD with calf heads, maybe Mr. Morello spoke with him.
@@edgarcook9607 8 lugs= 20" (and 18" as well) BD, 10 lugs= 22" BD (but also 24" and over), that as for WFL/Ludwig (to say, I've seen vintage 22" Leedy BDs with "only" 8 lugs) , so we can be pretty sure that's a 20". About the word "Kit", that's what we over Europe sometime use en lieu of "drumset". And finally yes, "Superbeat" never existed, it has become colloquial among enthusiasts and collectors for a mix of "Superclassic" toms (13" and 16") and "Downbeat" BD (20"), quite clearly a special order or a put together set.
Because currently, the more AI filtering that is applied, the less real everything looks. I have the un-filtered version on my channel too, if you want to compare the differences.
Remaster. That is his last name. It's French, I think. Sometimes written "re' Master". Always pronounced: "Remma Stir". He was the conductor for the quartet, and was typically situated in the wings, stage left, in the eye-line of Dave.
Hey, it’s jazz. I’ve heard a number of recordings (both studio and live) of this and other Brubeck & Co numbers, and there are many variations, usually in the solos. Not uncommon.
On the big hit Take Five (written by Paul Desmond), with that ungainly 5/4 beat, the boys got better and better playing it after the famous recording. Some live versions are very fast and quite surprising.
Blame on myself , so much had to eat as novelty , modernism and the like , you name it , and not only in jazz but many others types of music , media gave us latest " talent " and you had to eat it aka buy records , see shows ......

You need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) or audio software. I use Logic Pro. Get some half-decent monitors. Listen to some great sounding recordings, then flip over to the music you're mastering, and try to adjust the various EQ controls until it sounds more like the reference track. Keep going backwards and forwards until it's as close as you can make it. You can also use the audio spectrum analyser, which is a visualisation of the music across the audio range. That might give you some clues... but ears are better. There's a function in Logic called Match EQ, which also can help you cheat a bit. There's plenty of remastering videos right here on RUclips. Good luck!
I think so. Brubeck's sound was simply one of many types of jazz, which took form just 50 years prior to this 1962 recording, and quickly diversified in many directions. Brubeck's music was comparatively studied, structured and accessible, which might not be to every jazz lover's liking... and that's the question you're probably actually asking here. I consider the popular music of Brubeck contemporary George Shearing to be jazzy, but not jazz. But either musician and their respective band members could smoke up some real stuff if they wanted to. They probably just couldn't make it pay.
Iconic. Wonderful. And when I see these old clips it really bothers me that they pay so little attention to Joe Morello; Whose creative drumming and time signatures brought jazz into every living room and into mainstream music. Genius.
You have it almost right. It was Brubeck's unique time signature that popularized jazz, pushing it through to mainstream audiences.
I have often wondered what Mozart would have thought, and then done with Jazz, or Blues or Boogie Woogie. I bet he wouldn't be able to compose fast enough. So much potential, so little time.
Joe was such a wonderful drummer. One of my favorites. You just have to look at how he holds his left stick; such touch on the snare.
Mozart was supposedly a fantastic improviser. Who knows if he'd have liked jazz or not, but he'd have done okay for himself. The goal when you're up there is to _not_ think: to know the basic music and your instrument so well that you're free to interact with everyone else. If you're thinking "Oh!

"What's the time signature, Dave?" Dave Brubeck: "Yes..."
9/8

He was well spoken, along with other announcers.
Stuart Wagstaff was another one who spoke clearly and distincly.🎉
This is my comfort music. When I think about going out to relax, this is what I want to hear. And so expertly played!
What a treat to see (and hear) my favorite saxophonist of all.time - - Paul Desmond.
A real pity he left us so early...
The last concert I went with my father, before his passing, was Dave Brubeck at the Music Hall in Kansas City. Great show.
Dave Brubeck's first question when auditioning musicians: "How many time signatures are you willing to play in ONE song?"

I got flashbacks to the Propellerheads with that intro.
Great musicians. The best.
So good a band was named after the tune.
A quartet working together. What more could you want?
I've often wondered if this piece was an influence on the Rush song "Natural Science" whose main theme follows quite a similar pattern.
You had me at Rush. Someone else mentioned this here. I think the answer is probably. A lot of it is shared passion for, and simply choice of alternative time signatures. If you're a band into that kinda thing in the 70s, Brubeck would have been a "must listen". Brubeck was influenced by Turkish music he heard. And so it goes: wheels within wheels.
Maybe I'd only say this 'cause I'm a drummer, but Mr. Morello is the most interesting musician here. Just DIG that left hand comping!
I saw Brubeck late in his career. Before starting this piece, he said that this one made his hands hurt. I can see why.
More Joe Morello!!!
All drummers in the jazz world stop and pay homage at the shrine of Joe Morello.
