Seaford Saint Posted 5 December, 2012 Share Posted 5 December, 2012 I saw him live a couple of times. He was a great human being, incredibly humble......I have just heard that he has passed away and its a bit late but tomorrow night I will put on an album or two.

Hamilton Saint Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 One of the first jazz musicians I ever listened to. Loved Take Five, Blue Rondo a la Turk, It's a Raggy Waltz, etc. More formally presented, perhaps, and with less improvisation, but it really did swing!

I think jazz is great when it "sticks to the script" but just loses me when the musicians "go off on one" for a couple of minutes before coming back to the original tune.

stockportsaint Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 when I was a kid, at every Sunday lunch for many years my Dad would play Brubeck to educate our small ears into enjoying jazz. Some purists might sniff at his populist music but its still my favourite jazz to listen to over Coltrane or Davis, brilliant though they both are. I don't have to work too hard to listen to Brunswick, whereas some more purist stuff you really have to be in the right mood to listen to, and they can take a lot of effort to enjoy.
