Dave Brubeck...RIP

Died this morning(Wed, 5 DEC 2012), at age 91. It was through his music(specifically; 'Take Five', in 1959) that I became a lover of the Jazz genre. 'Take Five' and 'Time Further Out' are still my two all time favorite Jazz vinyls.

I meant, 'Time Out' & 'Time Further Out', but- you probabaly already knew that. BTW: This is an excellent reissue of 'Time Further Out': ( http://www.elusivedisc.com/DAVE-BRUBECK-TIME-FURTHER-OUT-MIRO-REFLECTIONS-180g-LP/productinfo/IMXLP6002/ ) No compression/great mix/no surface noise 'Unsquare Dance' & 'Far More Drums' will really test your system's bottom end.

One of the best. His music is as fresh as when it was recorded!

One of the most fantastic musicians in the history of jazz.

Rest in peace...

I agree Rodman. And although most of the public wouldn't know him or his long time friend Paul by name they have certainly enjoyed their music sometime. I started buying his albums back in the late 60's as I began to collect. I still have those old 'eye's' records, and many more modern as well. A toast to the enjoyment he provided-Cheers!

Hi Mr P- It's funny; one of the guys at work was named
Desmond. The first time he told me that; I asked if he was
named after Paul Desmond or Desmond Tutu. He's black and
still not certain, since his parents are dead(made him
wonder). I wish more of the pressing now days, were as good
as my old Columbia(eyes), 'Time Out.' I'd be buying a whole
lot more vinyl, if they were.
