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 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.
I don't think Desmond is an uncommon name in certain places.

Ever hear "Desmond has a barrow in the market place...?"

Or "The Israelites" by Desmond Decker and the Aces?
