The Dave Brubeck Quartet – Three To Get Ready

Video 5 Comments

obligatory...

that said, dave brubeck, in all his incarnations, is (not was) one of my favorite jazz musicians. he seemed to have this mad scientist approach to jazz; this strange mathematical deconstruction of the music. an innovator in key structure and time signatures (i'm still not 100% sure which time this is in... 6/8?), he deserves all the credit he received and will receive in the coming days.

here's a cut from the quintessential brubeck album time out. you will be missed.

1964

one of my favorite cuts after the jump...

right around the 5:49 mark, ol' dave starts to sound like he's had a little too much to drink at the keys. however, after each awkward phrase, he suddenly pulls it back into virtuoso. all the while, the rhythm section props it up without skipping a beat. just awesome.

  1. my library is filled with mixed-meter music, so this is right in my wheelhouse. Has the feel of two 3/4 measures followed by a 6/8, I think. Funky triplet feel though
