Brubeck ... Blue Rondo ala Turk..........

[WCGreen]

It's like listening to Jackson Pollack

1. I love Brubeck.

I really love Paul Desmond.

"Time Out" is one of my desert island discs. My dad always called it "Take Five" when I was growing up.

3. Yeah, Desmond could do it...

... but I read that he was really twisted up at the thought of playing "Take Five" for the album. He had a real case of the sweats trying to do that time signature without making it sound lifeless (and, he was very sick with cancer at the time, as well). But, I think he did get it right, after all.

Cheers.

2. Nice simile.

Thanks for associating Brubeck and Pollack. I hadn't previously, but I appreciate your doing so for selfish reasons: now I can carry the association around with me.
