Music I like from my vinyl record collection -
David Warren Brubeck (December 6, 1920, Concord, California – December 5, 2012, Norwalk, Connecticut), known as Dave Brubeck, was an American jazz pianist. He wrote a number of jazz standards, such as In Your Own Sweet Way or The Duke. Brubeck's style ranges from sleek, classy compositions to grandiose masterpieces.
While creating, he took advantage of his mother's teaching and his brilliant ability to improvise. He experimented with unusual time signatures in a number of his compositions. Together with Paul Desmond, Joe Morello and Eugene Wright, they formed The Dave Brubeck Quartet, popular in their time.
His long-time collaborator, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, wrote the Brubeck Quartet's best-known piece, Take Five, which is in 5/4 time. Experiments with the timing of songs accompanied a significant part of Brubeck's musical career, such as Pick Up Sticks, Unsquare Dance, and Blue Rondo à la Turk.]
Brubeck's mother studied piano in England, planned a career as a concert pianist, and made extra money by teaching piano. But Brubeck did not particularly enjoy the constant playback of scores, rather he tried to compose his own melodies. He started studying piano at university, but after one of the professors discovered that he couldn't even play the notes properly, he wanted to expel him. Fortunately, other professors stood up for him. They claimed that his ability to manage counterpoint and harmony was above average. But the school was still worried that Brubeck might cause a scandal and let him graduate only on the condition that he never teach piano.
In 1942, he successfully completed his studies at the university and immediately afterwards enlisted in the army. It was the war years, so he served in the army for 4 years (he even took part in the Battle of the Bulge). After returning, he continued his studies, this time in California. After completing his studies, he signed with the California record company Fantasy Records. He founded his own octet, but also played in a trio at the same time. Later, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond joined the trio. They started experimenting, recorded a few records, but still had few opportunities to play. Brubeck was quite disgusted by this, so he returned to the trio again. Again without Desmond, who secured appearances with a different line-up. So Brubeck spent several years just playing jazz standards over and over.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet After a short hiatus caused by Brubeck's back injury while swimming, The Dave Brubeck Quartet is formed in 1951. Paul Desmond played the saxophone in it again. The quartet got a long-term engagement in a club in San Francisco, but it became more widely known through its regular concerts in student dormitories. Three albums emerged from these concerts: Jazz at Oberlin, Jazz Goes to College, and Jazz Goes to Junior College. In 1954, Brubeck's photo appeared on the cover of the prestigious American magazine Time - he was only the second jazz musician to be on the cover of this magazine (the first was Louis Armstrong).
The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1967. Left to right: Joe Morello, Eugene Wright, Brubeck and Paul Desmond. In the mid-1950s, original quartet members Bob Bates and Joe Dodge were replaced by Eugene Wright and Joe Morello. Because Wright was African-American, Brubeck had to cancel a lot of concerts in the late 1950s. Club owners were willing to organize a concert, but they set the condition that the quartet must have a white double bassist. Brubeck also canceled a television appearance after learning that the camera was intentionally not focusing on Wright.
In 1959, the quartet releases the album Time Out. Although the music publishing house was enthusiastic about it, it delayed its release a little. The album is special in that almost none of the songs on it are in regular time signature. The album includes the compositions Take Five, Blue Rondo à la Turk or Pick Up Sticks, which are already considered jazz standards today. Despite experimenting with unusual time signatures, the album sold very well and soon went platinum.
During this time, Brubeck and his wife wrote the musical The Real Ambassadors, which depicts their experiences touring the United States. The soundtrack to this musical was recorded in 1961. It featured Louis Armstrong, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross and Carmen McRae. The musical itself premiered a year later.
The quartet followed up the success of Time Out with similar albums: Time Further Out: Mirror Reflections, Countdown: Time in Outer Space, Time Changes and Time In. All these albums are also known for the fact that the covers were created by modern painters of the time - Joan Miró, Sam Francis or Franz Kline. This was also the time for the live album At Carnegie Hall, which critic Richard Palmer called "undoubtedly Brubeck's best concert".
