3. Oh my... he's gone?

Damn it...

[Ken Burch]

4. Yeah...just happened, I think.

Brubeck would have been 92 if he'd lived until tomorrow.

The man had a great run, though.

[Uncle Joe]

21. wonderful, too! before seeing this video, i appreciated, but never "loved" Desmond...

NOW i can see what an influence he was on MY playing. THIS SOLO- the repeated, altered themes, the hanging on to a note that's slightly dissonant- yet in key- and riffing off it... wow!

I hated Paul Desmond's tone as a kid... writing it off as too smooth and mellow. I preferred a sax that screamed. Now i get it... this solo actually made me weep with joy.

Thank you, tridim!

13. How lucky I was

to be born in to a family that played and loved jazz. I heard Brubeck from the time I was old enough to hear. See you in the next world amigo! Peace

14. Such a Smooth Song

I always feel relaxed when I hear this song.

RIP Dave Brubeck.

15. I was lucky enough

to see Mr. Brubeck and his sons several years ago at Coe College in Cedar Rapids Ia. It was a fantastic show and everyone was so pleased and appreciative.

Rest in peace Mr. Brubeck and thank you for everything.

17. RIP Dave

I was around to hear Take Five when you first recorded the song. It has always been a favorite of mine. Thanks to those who posted the music for all to hear.

18. Heaven just got cooler

[progressoid]

19. Love how he watches Joe Morello's solo

Cool.

Too cool.

[stlsaxman]

20. Single-handedly changed Western Civilization and popular culture as we know it.

NOTE: it's also PERFECT that he left the plane ONE DAY short of 92 years.

He couldn't have "planned it" better!
