Tod, I love Indian Summer, fantastic record! Was listening to it last night when I heard he passed, weird. RIP Dave.
incredibly, he outlived his partner, paul, by 35 years. desmond might be my favorite sax player of all time...at least tied with johnny hodges, johnny hodges, johnny hodges....they had very similar sounds and styles. for folks who claim to not like jazz: i dare you to listen to hodges or desmond for at least a week and then tell me you still don't. that's a double-dare, in fact.
StonesTod every once in a while you are serious and it's like a breath of fresh air...
but seriously, i hate jazz. so boooooorrrring!
Couldn't resist, could you? You are so predictable....

love Hodges and Desmond too..but haven't found their styles/sound similar..
both get a breathy tone but Hodges is much more sensual...warm valley..
both had distinctive sounds you recognize in one or two notes...

I was out of town for a couple days and didn't have an opportunity to respond to this thread. I was very sad to hear of Dave Brubeck's passing. I was EXTREMELY fortunate to catch two or three of his shows when he came to my hometown for the Rochester International Jazz Festival (which has been growing by leaps and bounds over the last 10 years). Even in his later years, Dave and the others members of his quartet were able to pull off brilliant musical and entertaining performances. At one of these shows, I hung out afterwards with just four other people, who like myself, were hoping to catch and meet Dave as he was exiting the theatre. Sure enough, Dave came out and signed autographs and even chatted with us for a few minutes. He was so gracious and kind. It was a moment in time that I will always cherish. Rest in peace, Dave. You are one of a kind and truly an icon in the world of jazz.

that's cool that he took "time out" to sign and chat with you.
Even more impressive that he was able to 'take five' minutes to 'take five' autographs for you all.

Unfortunately for me, the decision to go back around the theatre to meet Dave was a last minute one on my part. I had no Brubeck CDs, pen or paper with me. THe other four people who were there had their Time Out albums with them ready for Dave to sign (which he obliged very gracefully) I think back on that, and that was the only thing I regretted.

His drummer was Joe Morello. Charlie Watts used the Ludwig 11A Joe Morello drumstick, hickory, up until Vic Firth came out with the Charlie Watts Signature stick. The same stick, really, but the Signature stick has a thicker neck, not as tapered.

i didn't know drummers had their own sticks. kinda like baseball players' bats, i suppose. it's really amazing the number of similarities between rocknroll and baseball. kinda eerie, even....

my biggest regrets (so far - i plan on upgrading them soon) are passing on count basie and frank sinatra in separate gigs. i still punch myself in the face on occasion when i think about these missed opps. there i go again. Oww! but, i deserved it....
