Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2012 12:56 amNot so long ago I was feeling pretty bummed. Getting old, slowing down, blah blah.
Then I saw a special on Dave Brubeck (I'd seen him perform back in the seventies) and the old rascal was 90 and had just written an oratorio and was going on tour.
I thought then, and now, "Thank you Dave!" God love you.

Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2012 2:01 amgoing out at 91 (just a cpl of days short of 92) and still playing.....that's reward for a life well lived. he was just a beautiful human being.
i'm gonna have to pull out my ken burns "jazz" documentary and find the episode that featured D.B.
there's also a cpl of great D.B. bits on the Gerry Mulligan DVD "Age Of Steam"....i highly recommend that one, it's a great watch that chronicles G.M's career w lots of great footage.
it kicks off w mulligan and brubeck hanging out and db asks "if you could play anything you'd like, what'd it be?" and mulligan kicks off "Things Ain't What They used To Be".
couldn't find that performance but here's another of the same tune.
