Surely not gone, just "taking five"
(someone had to say it).
RIP

I saw him with the original quartet back in 1961 up near Boston and again in recent years with his latest quartet at a local church and on a dual billing with Marian Mcpartland at The Pennsylvania Convention Center. He brought jazz to the mainstream.

He was an important part of the San Francisco Bay Area music scene when I was growing up there in the 1950s and 1960s. Some of my favorite musical memories come from his gigs. When my dad bought the "Time Out" LP, we played it so much we had to replace it after a few years, because the needle eventually wore out the vinyl. "Blue Rondo a la Turk," "Take Five" and other "off" rhythms especially fascinated me.

Just a small thought for the wonderful Paul Desmond who was such an integral part of the Brubeck sound and world. There is one rare recording on which Paul played the clarinet. It is a pity he didn't do that more often; it would have fitted in very well in the scheme of things.

I'm deeply grateful for the music of Dave Brubeck, in particular some of the interesting work he did with Bill Smith on clarinet. As a teenager I stumbled across a copy of his "Near-Myth with Bill Smith" album. The recording was from the mid-60s-- the Brubeck quartet at it's height of popularity--yet the entire album was comprised of Bill Smith's compositions.
Though I first listened to it for Smith's clarinet playing (it's some of the best modern jazz out there by a clarinetist), the piano solos are incredible--I think Brubeck's solo's on "The Unihorn", "Baggin the Dragon " and others are among the finest he recorded.

Time Out was the first LP I bought, I was around 11 or 12.
