Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond – Et umage par Oplæg udarbejdet af Flemming Vestergaard for Gladsaxe Bibliotekernes jazzlytteklub, marts 2016 Dave Brubeck blev født i 1920 i Californien og voksede op på en farm. Han kom på college og efter nogen tid som dyrlægestuderende skiftede han til konservatioriet. Han studerede klassisk musik om dagen og spillede jazz om natten på mindre steder. Hans første professionelle orkester var en oktet, dannet 1946 med andre studerende, og senere en trio med Cal Tjader, som fik en vis anerkendelse. Han startede sin kvartet med Paul Desmond i 1952 og de fik hurtig succes på colleges på USA's vestkyst. I 1958 var den klassiske kvartet samlet da Joe Morello kom med på trommer, efter at bassisten Eugene Wright kom med i 1956. Kvartetten fik international succes efter albummet 'Time Out' udkom i 1959. Det indeholder det nummer, der skulle blive deres 'signatur' nummer, Take Five, med den catchy 5/4 rytme. Efter mange år med indspilninger og turneer opløste Brubeck kvartetten i 1967 for at få mere tid til familie og til at skrive kompostioner til musicals mv. Han fandt dog stadig tid til at spille med andre, bl. a. vestkyst- ikonet Gerry Mulligan (som Desmond også samarbejde med) Efter 1977 vedblev Brubeck med at være aktiv og udgav mange albums, både soloindspilninger og med sin nye kvartet, som bl.a. bestod af hans søn Chris Brubeck (b). Andre musikere han spillede med var Randy Jones (dr), Bobby Militello (as), Bill Smith (as) m.fl. Dave Brubeck døde i 2012, 92 år gammel. Paul Desmond blev født i 1924 i San Fransisco, startede med klarinet, senere alt-sax. Tilbragte nogen tid i New York hvor han hørte den nye jazz blive til. Han mødte Brubeck i hæren i 1944 hvor de spillede i et orkester der underholdte soldater udstationeret i Europa. Spillede med Brubek i oktetten og en tid derefter i San Fransisco, hvor de blev uenige om betaling for nogle jobs, og de skiltes en tid. Efter han kom med i Dave Brubeck Quartet havde en også en solokarrierre, ofte med guitarister såsom Jim Hall og senere Ed Bickert. Ofte spillede han jazz-standards med cool og latin/bossa lyd. Efter 1967 holdt han en pause fra musikken, men startede igen med pop-jazz og eksperimentelle albums. I 1974 dannede han sin egen kvartet, der spillede på mindre spillesteder, især i Toronto. Hans lyd er beskrevet som langsom, luftig og lyrisk, og den dannede modvægt til Brubecks ofte blokkede og polytonale lyd. Efter at have spillet med den gendannede Dave Brubeck Quartet i 1976 blev han syg og døde i 1977. Spilleliste – Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond Dave Brubeck Octet (opt 1946-50): D.

In 1959, he integrated asymmetric meter into the album Take Five. With a unique time signature (5/4), the title song became a standard bearer for jazz crossover. Other compositions like “Blue Rondo A La Turk” (written in 9/8) are further examples of the unconventional use of time signatures.

  • Hilary Geddes
    Sydney Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Vol. 6, December 2016 Language, Rhythm and Legitimacy Issues: An Examination of Factors Contributing to the Success of Time Out HILARY GEDDES In short: “Time Out” is a first experiment with time, which may well come to be regarded as more than an arrow pointing to the future. Something great has been attempted… and achieved. The very first arrow has found its mark. – Steve Race, 19591 In 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet released Time Out on Columbia Records. Critics and media alike heralded the album as being innovative at the time of release and Time Out subsequently became the first jazz album to sell 500,000 copies.2 Brubeck himself would be strongly associated with the album’s singles “Take Five” – which was in fact written by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond – and “Blue Rondo à la Turk” for the duration of his career.3 As the leader and public face of the quartet, Brubeck’s compositions, and those by other members of the quartet such as Desmond, have often been conflated by the public as being solely Brubeck’s. Time Out’s success was attributed to Brubeck’s exploration of rhythm, specifically the use of uneven metres, polyrhythms and metric modulations, which were perceived as being unusual within the jazz idiom at the time of release.4 Yet upon investigating the historical development of these rhythmic devices within the jazz genre, primarily through listening to the discographies of various artists, it has become apparent that other jazz musicians were experimenting with rhythm in these ways before 1959.

  • Eli Yamin Celebrates the Dave Brubeck Quartet Curriculum Guide
    Eli Yamin Celebrates the Dave Brubeck Quartet Curriculum Guide Eli Yamin Celebrates the Dave Brubeck Quartet Overview These six videos are presented and performed by jazz and blues pianist, composer, singer, producer and educator Eli Yamin. The videos vary in length from 3 to 12 minutes. The title of the series aptly denotes the content because Eli Yamin and his group of master musicians truly do “celebrate” 5 songs of Dave Brubeck. Each video examines and performs a specific song and its unique qualities. Although the focus is always the music, the lessons easily apply to literacy and language arts standards, grades 6-12. The amount of time spent on the lessons can be decided by the teachers, depending on students’ interest, needs, and planning. Below is a brief summary of the content of each video to help teachers decide which best suits their curriculum. It is recommended that all the videos be studied in order to provide a full scope of Brubeck’s music, but the lessons and videos can each stand alone. Dave Brubeck Brief Background Dave Brubeck was a famous jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader who lived from 1920 to 2012. He founded the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 after playing for several years in his group called the Dave Brubeck Octet. His group became very popular in the 1950s, most notably for his combination of great melodies, strong sense of swing, and unusual meters and rhythms from around the globe. Some of his more popular songs are "Blue Rondo a la Turk," "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke." He collaborated with quartet member Paul Desmond on numerous compositions; Desmond’s “Take Five” became the first jazz instrumental to sell more than one million copies.

    Yes, Virginia, Rock and Roll is dead, and Flesht<>nes is its potent spirit.

Egged on by their bone-crunching bant L, vocalists Blak and Lean bend and twist the musical express:'.on of ecstacy and despair to their most tormented limits. Those to be held personally responsible are fat-1.:at drummer Walt 'twhammy" Douglas (who parlayed a ho-hum bat·:;ing average into one of the most impressive slugging records in ·rock history), power-bassist Marko Roxx (his name tells the tale), ' guitarists Chance Fleeting (who's searing leads ,Uld .relentless rhythms on such instant classics as "Rock and Ro:Ll Hell" and "Bitch Boy" assure his niche in rock's Hall of F:Lame), and Mario David (his solo at the end of the catharti·! masterpiece, "No More", makes it clear once and for all that Jimi and Robin are nice names for girls).

  • Jazz at the Crossroads)
    MUSIC 127A: 1959 (Jazz at the Crossroads) Professor Anthony Davis Rather than present a chronological account of the development of Jazz, this course will focus on the year 1959 in Jazz, a year of profound change in the music and in our society. In 1959, Jazz is at a crossroads with musicians searching for new directions after the innovations of the late 1940s’ Bebop. Musical figures such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane begin to forge a new direction in music building on their previous success earlier in the fifties. The recording Kind of Blue debuts in 1959 documenting the work of Miles Davis’ legendary sextet with John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb and reflects a new direction in the music with the introduction of a modal approach to composition and improvisation. John Coltrane records Giant Steps the culmination of the harmonic intricacies of Bebop and at the same time the beginning of something new. Ornette Coleman arrives in New York and records The Shape of Jazz to Come, an LP that presents a radical departure from the orthodoxies of Be-Bop. Dave Brubeck records Time Out, a record featuring a new approach to rhythmic structure in the music. Charles Mingus records Mingus Ah Um, establishing Mingus as a pre-eminent composer in Jazz. Bill Evans forms his trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian transforming the interaction and function of the rhythm section. The quiet revolution in music reflects a world that is profoundly changed. The movement for Civil Rights has begun. The Birmingham boycott and the Supreme Court decision Brown vs.
