The terms "greatest" and "genius" are overused, but Brubeck was both. He will be missed dearly. RIP |

I grew up hearing Brubeck (along with Joni Mitchell and the Beatles)from my father’s stereo beginning in the late 60s, throughout my childhood and my teen years. His music has always been part of my music volcabularly. I did have the chance to see Dave play along with my father several years ago.
He was certainly a role model and a giant in a business that is very, very tough playing music that does not get the respect it deserves.
God bless, Dave.

My daughter texted me from college yesterday in Ohio shortly after the word was out of his passing telling me the school’s jazz band had a scheduled concert yesterday that they turned into a dedication to his music. It was great to know the music director and musicians were respectful enough to honor Brubeck that way. She later said it was a great performance and the music director spoke about Brubeck’s influence on his life. I’m sure there will be many more such tributes in the coming months,deservedly so.I’m so glad I had the chance to see him twice(in 76 with his sons and 2010 with his quartet)May his legacy will live forever.

He died one day prior to his 92nd birthday. His album Time Out , released in 1959, was the first jazz album to sell more than a million copies. I saw him peform with 3 of his sons in what was called The New Brubek Quartet. My 12 year old daughter loves his music. Like John McLaughlin said about Coltrane - "The Music will never die."

Growing up in Connecticut I
had the chance to see Dave
Brubeck with his 3 sons a
number of times. Great music
from a true human being. One
visit in the early spring I
visited NYC.Sunday mornings
are quiet in the city and I
took a walk over to St.
Patricks cathedral. They were
performing a Cantata by Dave
so I stayed for the
performance. What a surprise
when the man himself came out
to play piano and conduct the
performance. A wonderful
moment in time.Intelligent
music for a nation coping with
musical mediocrity.

Jazz began for me with Brubeck. Although he reached a magnificent age, I can’t believe he passed on. What’s left is a great body of work. I admire him so much. May he perform upon the big stage.

Well, "giant" isn’t overused, so I’ll say he was a giant. Fine bandleader as well. My brother’s birthday, so I’ll remember Brubeck dying on the 5th. Hope it was a peaceful passing.
