As you’ve hopefully heard by now, Dave Brubeck passed away last week. I checked our archives and apparently the only piece by Brubeck we’ve posted was a Tommy Emmanuel cover. So we’ve got to do something about that.
Here’s the Dave Brubeck Quartet performing “40 Days” in 1966: Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on sax, Eugene Wright on bass, and Joe Morello on drums. Desmond delivers a sax solo to end all sax solos, and Brubeck’s somber key work while the rhythm section keeps going is absolutely stunning. Enjoy, and J.I.P. (jam in peace) Paul Desmond, Joe Morello, and now Dave Brubeck.
