Dave Brubeck gone but not forgotten

Yes, most certainly, Brubeck left his mark on the world of jazz. I found his quartet's more laid-back style was refreshingly smooth and provided a necessary "softening" sound to the freneticism of hard bebop. Brubek certainly made an outstanding choice in fronting his group with Paul Desmond, who most certainly added to the appeal of brubek's groups. What a pure and unwavering lyrical sound he generated from his alto saxaphone.

Astutely, Brubek made an outstanding choice in selecting his hornman, Paul Desmond, who certainly added to brubek's groups. What a pure unwaveringly lyrical sound he "coached" from his alto saxaphone.

Great Loss
As I am older than most on this site, I had the opportunity to see and hear the Quartet in small clubs in the Bay Area. At the first Monterey Jazz Festival, I was standing back stage on Sunday afternoon with Shelly Mann watching and listening to Joe Morrello on drums. Shelly's comment was if that cat could only learn how to swing. In part, I think that could be said of the Quartet. How ever the modified "cool sound" of Brubeck will last forever.
