Title: Dave Brubeck is gone
Post by Apex on Dec 5^th, 2012 at 12:20pm

http://music.yahoo.com/news/manager-jazz-composer-pianist-dave-brubeck-dies-170407395.html

I first encountered his albums in 1966 at a friend's girlfriend's house, her father was a jazz pianist and had the whole set of them. 'Take Five', on his 'Time Out' album, is a real gem of jazz, in 5/4 meter, and just so cool.

(5/4 meter: Best example is the 'Mission Impossible' theme.)

R.I.P. Dave, and thanks for all the tunes.

Gosh, that is a loss to music, he was an amazing talent. I used to listen to him a LOT with my dad who was a massive fan. Whenever I listen to Dave it reminds me of my dad.
RIP Dave :'(

I listened to almost three hours of Mr. Brubeck last night...

David, you will be missed.

Even today...I have never fully recovered from the loss of my very good musician friend; Mr. Johann Sebastian Bach.

Paul....another Organist (Hammond B3)... :)...!

Dave isn't dead! He merely switched to playing the harp. [smiley=engel017.gif]
