Jazz Casual: Dave Brubeck

Jazz Casual: Dave Brubeck 2000

1

On October 17, 1961, the popular and pioneering pianist-composer Dave Brubeck performed on Ralph Gleason's Jazz Casual, the television show that showcased some of the finest jazz artists in a half-hour of no-frills performance and conversation. Backed by the Lester Young-influenced alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright and drummer Joe Morello, Brubeck and his combo perform some of their odd-metered hits. Desmond's dancing ditty, "Take Five" is rendered in a faster tempo than the studio version. Brubeck's ragtime-flavoured "(It's a) Raggy Waltz," highlights his percussive piano lines, while "Castillian Blues" and the Turkish strains of "Blue Rondo a la Turk" reveal his multicultural, compositional genius. Gleason, the show's creator and host, was a well-respected, San Francisco-based jazz critic and author. He remarks during the show that Dave Brubeck was "a provocative, experimental, and interesting musician." That statement is still true today.

Chicago: Live by Request

Chicago: Live by Request 2003

One of the most popular touring and recording acts in rock history, Chicago has been around the world a dozen times, but few concerts compare with a special 2002 show they performed in New York City. The band took the stage without a preplanned set list, instead allowing listeners across the U.S. to call in or email requests.
