Take The ‘A’ Train – Dave Brubeck
December 7, 2012
Posted by on Take the A Train (written by Billy Strayhorn) with his quartet:
As a bonus (a rogue within a rogue. a rogue inception, as it were), here is a recording of Mr Brubeck with Wynton Marsalis at the Newport Jazz Festival playing Blues for Newport.
Mr Marsalis is another one of my favorite jazz men as he is a student of his art. It’s musicians like him that will pass along the pieces Mr Brubeck added to jazz to the next generation of jazz musicians.
