Redruth Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 at the age of 91, there is no doubt he died a harppy man. RIP i've never been the obsessed jazz adherent ; i have favourites and i listen here or there, but of the artists i have the most enthusiasm for, dave brubeck is likely one near the tip of my list [youtubehd]e1S_vA0ougg[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Sad day, but also a pleasant one remembering his music and long successful life. Didn't expect I would be this affected but I'm very sad, got the call from my mother this morning in class. As a great-grandfather he was great: warm, loving, always generous. I stayed with them two years ago for a while (Dave was 90) and he was walking, talking, playing as if he was 30 years younger. Really incredible to see! No one knows exactly what the next step is. My hope is to be with the family soon, but school and the family's mad schedules need to be dealt with. R.I.P. Dave, you mean a lot to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 As a great-grandfather he was great: warm, loving, always generous. wait you're Dave Brubeck's great grandson? also oddly enough i was just listening to his stuff yesterday, & DB isn't one of those musicians I listen to all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Obviously a great musician, but it seems like he was also every bit a decent human being. What a guy! Condolences to his family, including the good Dr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 A sad day indeed. He was a profound influence on me in the early years. An extraordinary pianist and composer. I had the chance to work for him back in 2008 but took another gig instead. I'm currently kicking myself. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eh Speedy Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Sorry to hear that Doc. I hope you got to spend a lot of quality time w/ him. I've been hearing about a lot of people dying recently including my uncle Richard Graham who married in to my family later in life. I do regret not showing the man a bit more of my attention as he was one of the good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Mr. Brubeck seems to have articulated the one thing I don't like about Draft, which is that it strays dangerously close to sounding like farts in way too many places edit: pretty good farts, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 i'm not too sad. he'll be missed, but he had a GREAT run, invented 'third stream' jazz when everyone else was doing swing or bop stuff, and popularised odd time sigs like a proper IDM boss. great legacy. my favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc34Uj8wlmE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 RIP Mr. Brubeck. Thanks for the music. Take Five is still one of my favorite pieces to play on the piano. So much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
