Blue Rondo ala Turk. My introduction to jazz in the mid-50's was due to an uncle that had an FM radio at the time. A bit unusual at the time as it was almost exclusively AM. Every Sunday we visited his family and he was always tuned to WJZZ out of Fairfield, CT. Brubeck was somehow affiliated with the station, part-owner I think. They had his music on a lot, along with Ahmad Jamal, Errol Garner, and a host of other jazz legends. Prompted a lifelong love affair with jazz. | |||

I met him once. He came into a restaurant I worked at, and I got his autograph on a menu. His music is the score for my childhood (along with MD).

I saw the quartet in college. When Paul Desmond played the sax, I was thunderstruck: "That's what a saxaphone sounds like?" It didn't sound like the sax in our high school band, that's for sure. | |||

As I recall, you have a system that will do it justice as well. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

I too saw them in my college gymnasium. When they played Take 5, Paul Desmond did a short solo, as the rest of the musicians did their solos, Desmond left the stage, walked over, leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette, when he finished the cigarette, he walked back on stage and finished his solo. It was the height of cool ! | |||

Early jazz from Brubeck's era and earlier was my favorite music. Nothing spoke "Cool" like Brubeck. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

I like that song. It used to be the intro music to a radio talk show I used to listen to at work. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I saw them at Franklin and Marshall College back around 1964. I was young and probably more a Beach Boys fan but I've always loved "Take Five" since then. ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

Yeah, that's him. He had a great voice. But towards the end of his career, he got lazy. I'm not criticizing him, just making the observation. Often, he would just read the newspaper as if he would be editorializing and connecting the dots but he never did. Move back south where he built a broadcasting room in his house, did at least a season from there, then retired.
