Dave Brubeck Quartet "I'm In A Dancing Mood" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@shivaumesh1129]

I love how they play the ending of "Blue Rondo A La Turk" at the beginning.

[@susanryan2451]

Oh yeah! Recognize it right away one of my favorites. Right on to you brother

[@sitarnut]

Wish we could have heard, "Blue Rondo"

[@jimmyb1559]

A great artist who couldn’t care less about what’s supposed to be. He did it his way.

[@BellaFirenze]

DAVE BRUBECK WAS BORN ON THIS DAY in Concord, California in 1920. was an American jazz pianist and composer, considered one of the foremost exponents of cool jazz. Many of his compositions have become jazz standards including "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke". Brubeck's style ranged from refined to bombastic, reflecting both his mother's classical training and his own improvisational skills. His music is known for employing unusual time signatures as well as superimposing contrasting rhythms, meters, and tonalities. Brubeck died of heart failure on December 5, 2012, in Norwalk, Connecticut, one day before his 92nd birthday. He was a great artist and a national treasure.

Damn, that band is tight. Thank you for sharing this.

[@relars52]

Brubeck was my Intro to jazz in the late 1950s (my oldest brother's room, while he was at college) and to this day I still listen to him.

[@waldolydecker8118]

After he called Ed a "square" was hoping he played for Ed "Unsquare Dance." That would have been a hoot, lol

[@AdrianDeVore]

Ed just needed to chill out and listen to the Dave Brubeck Quartet's greatness!

[@sjb49]

A class act, then and now. I still like the 5/4 rhythm of "Take 5" best of all...

[@WPM_in_ATL]

So Ed doesn't get Brubeck's unconventional time signature...but Columbia Records did not complain .

[@CamperVanPersie]

Mr.Joe Morello on the Drums.....Nice.

[@sitarnut]

More tha nice.. one of the greatest in Jazz ever.

[@sixtieskid062]

“ You’re a square, Ed” 😂😂😂

[@sitarnut]

Bingo!

[@recordguy4321]

amazing video and audio quality

[@hrebec97]

Excellent point! 61 years ago! That’s amazing!

[@jferguson3222]

College of the Pacific. Wow, now University of the Pacific. About 20 of my long past relatives attended that school’s Conservatory of Music. He’s amazing, true genius.

[@brucepappas6298]

This is great. Brubeck remains to this day my all time favorite jazz artist

[@brianfrost2695]

Love it! I've got to send this to my jazz loving son ASAP!

[@nicolasfagel6077]

I don't get the time signature changes in the arrangement of In a Dancing Mood, but it's so cool !

[@finallybrainunderstood479]

Even playing his squarest song, Mr. B goes way beyond cool 🆒😎🆒😎🆒 Bravo!! Magnificently done!!

[@ronward3949]

So straight forward, progressive, selective, evoking the realms of electives to evolve as Projected!

[@johnsamuel1725]

Very enjoyable ❤

[@Col_Eddington]

I first heard this song in a medical trial. They had a salt water float tank which I was wearing headphones in. I was in a medically induced 3/4 coma and partially dissociative state from ketamine. One of these sessions I was given psilocybin and and one other I took my own LSD before the ketamine and going into the tank that is when I heard this song I went completely lucid at the piano interval melody. In a golden hall and out to see the universe in nonlinear time that doesn’t feel unfamiliar as if you experienced it a very long time ago. What I mean to say is the results without music or the wrong kind like vocals. Complex music with comfortable tones creates a complex comfortable experience.

[@geoffnelson4777]

16 October 1960 at Dave Brubeck's home in Oakland Hills, Ca. Interesting that the 'Ludwig' on Morello's bass drum was covered up with tape. First time I ever saw that.

[@fromthesidelines]

Ed didn't want to give Ludwig a free plug on his program- not while he had sponsors like Eastman Kodak and Colgate-Palmolive to appease every week.

[@josephschauster3689]

Nice job with the piano!

[@AlanHughes-w6s]

I'm in a listening mood

[@ronward3949]

Ed really learned to play it down, then he's just giving it ip!

[@ajsmith5295]

Real cool man

[@notyetsilenced9746]

Wow!

[@ajsmith5295]

Got me into jazz man

[@MCO18]

Another great upload from this channel

[@someonesomeone7423]

It’s impossible to hear 2:33 and not feel the need to dance

[@stridedude]

This is the key. People of Sullivan's ( kidding or not ) pedigree thought of popular music as something you danced to. They therefore did not know how to process the bebop revolution.

[@sixtieskid062]

As “ Blue Rondo A La Turk” ends, the interview begins.

[@JAHenry]

Now we all know where Danny got that "rebel streak", if anybody wondered 😄

[@reneleclerc6119]

Ed did not seem to be in a dancing mood.

[@AdrianDeVore]

Ed doesn't get Brubeck. 🤣

[@brucekuehn4031]

They are putting on a show for the camera of course, but it is a reminder that anything revolutionary sounds a little crazy at first to the traditional crowd. Brubeck was playing something new and different. That’s why he got the cover of Time magazine before Duke Ellington did.

[@someonesomeone7423]

@@AdrianDeVore You also don’t get spelling.

[@johnnytoobad7785]

C'mon man, Take less Valium and use less Vitalis there Eddie...
