Dave Brubeck Concert in Seattle
This is a sweet nerd picture. Dave Brubeck is coming to Seattle and you need to hear his jazzy show. He is playing at the Paramount Theater. Here is some info from wikipedia:
David Warren Brubeck (born December 6, 1920 in Concord, California[1]), better known as Dave Brubeck, is a U.S. jazz pianist. Regarded as a genius in his field, he has written a number of jazz standards, including “In Your Own Sweet Way” and “The Duke”. Brubeck’s style ranges from refined to bombastic, reflecting his mother’s attempts at classical training and his improvisational skills. Much of his music employs unusual time signatures.
His long-time musical partner, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, wrote the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s most famous piece, “Take Five”, which is in 5/4 time and has endured as a jazz classic. Brubeck experimented with time signatures through much of his career, recording “Pick Up Sticks” in 6/4, “Unsquare Dance” in 7/8, and “Blue Rondo à la Turk” in 9/8. He also provided music for TV animated miniseries “This Is America, Charlie Brown”.
Brubeck’s mother studied piano in England and intended to become a concert pianist; at home she taught piano for extra money. Brubeck was not particularly interested in learning by any particular method, but preferred to create his own melodies and therefore avoided learning to read sheet music.
