SATURDAY JAZZ BRUNCH: In Your Own Sweet Way by Dave Brubeck - A legend of jazz passed away this week. As written poignantly in The New Yorker about Dave Brubeck in a way that sums up his career better than I can:
Those musicians, too hip for their own good, who dismiss Brubeck as square do so at their own loss. Whether or not he was to your taste, he was both brilliant and important: an iconoclastic player recognizable from one clustered chord, a restless composer pushing the bounds of genre, and a bridge between the past of the music and the future.
There is a trove of recordings I could post, but what better way to celebrate Brubeck’s immense talent than to highlight him. On the album Brubeck Plays Brubeck, it is Brubeck himself on the piano. It is a great album, but the one track that stands out for me is the tune In Your Own Sweet Way, which became a jazz standard. Enjoy!
