brownie Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 Dave Brubeck turns 90 today Glad to celebrate a remarkable career! Quote
JohnS Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 DB was among my first exposures to jazz as a teenager in the 50s and that period is still my preferred period. The first jazz concert I attended (1958) was by Brubeck so he had quite an influence on my early listening. So happy birthday Dave. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 Happy Birthday Dave and many more. Quote
king ubu Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 Happy Birthday, Dave! Just happened to pick up "Last Set at Newport" today... Quote
BillF Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 Dave Brubeck and Charlie Parker were both born in 1920. Would it be churlish to compare them in length of life, wealth amassed and musical talent? Quote
flat5 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 It would be pointless...and misguided. Quote
jlhoots Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 2 hour documentary on TCM today. Happy birthday!! Quote
paul secor Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 The Dave Brubeck Quartet introduced me to jazz, so I thank them for that. Happy Birthday to Mr. Brubeck. Quote
Chalupa Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 90?? That's great. Happy Birthday. Quote
jeffcrom Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Watching this right now: As I've gotten older, I admire Brubeck more and more. I'm well aware of his musical shortcomings, but am more than willing to let a lot of things slide for someone who has fought the good fight for all those years. Happy Birthday, Dave. Quote
