Acman, Dave's hair was snow white and long when I saw him, but as we saw in that link, he still had a lot of glide in his stride, nor had he lost a step when I saw him.
I must admit, that Billy Taylor link definitely raised me one; I liked it.
Jazz for aficionados
Pryso, this is from Carnegie Hall, and it does seem to offer more energy than his greatest hits; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFLILnhsW64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LBZJk5Kfgw |
Since we left Rok out of the last conversation, I'm going to try and include him along with the rest of us in this one. It's got Nawlins funk and jazz; "Dr. John, Duke Elegant"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oae5iJCOK60&list=RDoae5iJCOK60&start_radio=1 I sincerely believe this CD will have something for us all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4qav9FpmKg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKq_1PVu9UA |
My sentiments exactly. I love Dr. John, but that “It Don’t Mean...” sounds like a parody of the tune. Curious choice to do a tune about swinging with a straight up and down beat. And, too S....L....O.....W! This is not meant as a criticism of Brubeck’s music in any way. I like Brubeck’s music a lot (in great part for the usual presence of Paul Desmond) and appreciate his legacy; but, in many ways this piano playing style strikes me as the antithesis of Brubeck’s: https://youtu.be/QO53Xu6TZBg |
