Dave Brubeck Quartet - Calcutta Blues

[@vineymushran8046]

I'm 83 now and was a 19 year old jazz fan at Delhi University when the Dave Brubeck Quartet visited Delhi. Some of us were recruited by Len Maddox of the United States Information Service (now the American Center) to help organise a concert in the cast cricket grounds of the University. We were over the moon! Apart from the usual standards like St. Louis Blues, Calcutta Blues was one of the compositions played alongside Take Five, Blue Rondo A La Turk, Someday My Prince Will Come etc were featured. The vivid memory of that night is still deeply etched in my memory apart from the thrill of actually being introduced to all four members of the quartet, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Eugene Wright and, of course, Joe Morello.
