I just read on FB Dave Brubeck passed away this morning in Norwalk hospital here in CT. 91 years young. A very full life. One of the greats for sure but very sad to hear about him passing.

I've always loved Brubeck because he popularized jazz to a much wider audience, but mostly because, through, Dave, I discovered, Joe!

thats one of my favorite dbq videos. joe usually played the silver sparkles. but these appear to be sky blue pearl to me. looks like a matching downbeat/piccolo style snare as well. joe usually played a cob. man ,they made some great music together..
i'm listening to brubeck vinyl all night tonight in memory. jazz impressions of new york spinning on the telefunken right now...

> thats one of my favorite dbq videos.
The camera work is brilliant, the cameraman framed the entire group cooking their way through that number perfectly. The way he framed Dave's face inside the triangle formed by Paul Desmond's sax strap, with Joe and Eugene cranking out that driving rhythm in the background, is the work of a gifted cameraman.
Paul Desmond is nothing short of 'Sublime' in that performance. It's Joe's solo that always knocks my sox off though. The way Joe could play with 'time', the way he divided it up in his head, was amazing and rare. Few could touch Joe's sense of rhythm and even fewer had his pure creativity. Dave was always a talented composer/arranger, although he was never a 'virtuoso' on the keyboards, he was surrounded by players of such genius, that the overall effect is; a group of extraordinarily gifted geniuses who somehow found each other to form that Super-group.
That little video is a piece of art frozen in time. Ghosts entertaining for the living...
