she dances to Take 5
in 4/4 time while I spin
her hour glass
Brubeck glances
furtively up from the keys
black and white
like the cookies
not the people
in the high registers I find my night chills
solemn intervals, visceral melodies, the highball
glass forever a-tinkle
with ice
crunching down on
ice
gnawing, hoping
pining, swaying
watch her bounce a bit
her bottom bulbous
left hand stroll through the bass – or a standup slap-thumb
to drive a beat, walk the chromatic path up a thigh,
down a lane, to and fro, and Dave just keeps groovin’
in and out 5/4

Very boss, daddy-o. 🙂 Thank you 🙂
Blue Rondo ala Turk in 9/8 🙂
This dude is pretty ridiculous….
Talented. How much of that can one really listen to though?
I was going to send you this the other day. One guy commented – “You will never be as happy as Dave Brubeck is from about 2:14 onwards. NEVER. :P” –
check him out also at 3:05! 🙂 🙂
Oh I don’t seem to have a problem listening to a fair bit of it. A friend gave my this full album a number of years ago and it’s still in my (fairly) regular rotation.
Dave’s music does have an uplifting effect for sure.
God loves all whistlers.
