There are some live albums around, too, with Gerry Mulligan joining the group on baritone sax. Browse YouTube for some solo sax videos featuring Paul Desmond.

Missed the show last night, but Brubeck was a cool guy in the days when
cool was truly cool.

Caught him in the Metropole in Manhattan in the early 60's and at the Newport
Jazz Festival. 60? There was a $2 cover charge at the Metroplole and you could just about touch the "Greats" where they played behind the baah.

Had all his music recorded on those old 8 inch reel tape recorders and on the old 78's.
Who knows where they are now or i could play them on Clammer's Victrola.

Clammah, you still using the same needle?

Did Mel Brooks do any comedy.

Imho, the funniest comedian i ever heard.

Just downloaded Brubeck and his "Time Out" Legacy Edition 50th Anniversary with lots of never before released live songs! Also John Coltrane's Newport 63' album!

Joe Morello. Very good drummer--Brubeck played some pretty sophisticated ryhthms. The entire Time Out album is played in unusual time signatures-not your basic 12 bar blues in 4/4 time.

I think Gene Krupa was awesome....I am a big swing fan and Have Benny Goodman on my Ipod along with Glenn Miller!

Joe Morello has some great chops !
A good sign of a great drummer, just watch how effortless his left hand is (right hand drummer)
Rich had arguably the greatest left hand of any right handed drummer ever !
