There really isn’t enough time to listen to all of the audio/video goodness floating around out there on the world wide web. Here’s some more proof of that. While working on a future Ticket Stub column for Popdose, I came across streaming audio courtesy of NPR, featuring Dave Brubeck’s entire performance at the 2009 Newport Jazz Festival.
For those of you that like to do more than just rock and roll, I think you’ll find it to be an enjoyable listen. Dad and I saw Brubeck last year, and it was sadly, a rather brief performance, which was a bit disappointing on the surface, but for me, something that I ultimately enjoyed, getting the chance to see a legend one more time.
Here’s a nice interview that John Soeder did with Brubeck prior to that show.
i loved, loved the brubeck stuff we played in high school band — probably some of my favorite music i ever played. he's such a treasure.
