Dave Brubeck Quartet - St. Louis Blues

[@Zappygunshot]

I just love how when you don't see the video, you don't know that it's four old men playing a song. It means that they put their hearts into their music and they're mentally still as young as ever.

Dave Brubeck nailed it !!! I am a native St Louian I am loving that sound in 2020

[@user-pg4mm7ll2x]

I saw Brubeck a few times in St. Louis. Each time he played this tune, he introduced it by reminding us that W.C. Handy had written it as a tango, so he was playing it as such. This version is very similar to what Brubeck played at those shows, as opposed to earlier renditions he recorded. I’m glad this is archived, as those were memorable performances of this great song.

No one sounds like Dave Brubeck and for that I am forever grateful! His one-of-a-kind jazz appealed to me when I was a kid, plus the fact my parents loved him! As a native of the St. Louis area I love his blues of any kind!

In our teens and The Sixties,the top favorite in our Jazz Yatra Group ! Cheers !

[@sandracid4987]

Woow! I knew that a TV channel in Houston invited Brubeck but they had the condition that no black man was going to play with him. He said: No! Then the channel proposed to hide the black muscitian under a false wall and Brubeck said No, And he left the studio. Such a gentleman and kind soul. Always in my mind. I believe I have all his music. Listen to him playing with Dr. Bellie Taylor. Music is the most awesome and amazing part of my life. Bravo!!!

There were similar incidents elsewhere. I was a DBQ fan in the early 1960s, but I never knew what they were doing to oppose segregation. It became generally known much later.

[@diogenes1147]

Fantastic!

[@1981TURBOTRANSAM1]

RIP Dave Brubeck.

[@guillermoevans3261]

Maravillosa recreación de el clásico tema de Handy.

[@markrobert275]

Seasoned performance.

[@MrPirzio]

E' davvero sempre grande, il vecchio Dave, grande jazzista "bianco" colto!

[@GerryLSmith]

Nice Jeff. I've been looking for vocab for up tempo blues, and I think this works well over bars 3 & 4 to the IV7 chord..

[@thesceptic7968]

My favourite version is Chris Barbers. Check it out. 50s stuff but wonderful.

[@TheFanusik]

Wow !!!! That was something.

[@Lis3364]

W.C. Handy-the “Father of the Blues”-dies March 28, 1958 www.WCHandyFoundation.org More than 25,000 mourners filled the streets around Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church for the funeral of W.C. Handy, who died at the age of 85 on this day in 1958. “With all their differences, my forebears had one thing in common: if they had any musical talent, it remained buried.” So wrote William Christopher Handy in his autobiography in discussing the absence of music in his home life as a child. Born in northern Alabama in 1873, Handy was raised in a middle-class African-American family that intended for him a career in the church. To them and to his teachers, W.C. Handy wrote, “Becoming a musician would be like selling my soul to the devil.” It was a risk that the young Handy decided to take. He was internationally famous by the time he wrote his 1941 memoir, Father of the Blues, although “Stepfather” might have been a more accurate label for the role he played in bringing Blues into the musical mainstream. The significance of his role is not to be underestimated, however. W.C. Handy, one of the most important figures in 20th-century American popular music history, died in New York City on March 28, 1958. While Handy’s teachers might not have considered a career in music to be respectable, they provided him with the tools that made his future work possible. Naturally blessed with a fantastic ear, Handy was drilled in formal musical notation as a schoolboy. “When I was no more than ten,” Hand wrote in Father of the Blues, I could catalogue almost any sound that came to my ears, using the tonic sol-fa system. I knew the whistle of each of the river boats on the Tennessee….Even the bellow of the bull became in my mind a musical note, and in later years I recorded this memory in the ‘Hooking cow Blues.'” The talent and the inclination to take the traditional black music he heard during his years as a traveling musician and capture it accurately in technically correct sheet music would be Handy’s great professional contribution. It not only made the music that came to be called “the Blues” playable by other professional musicians, but it also added the fundamental musical elements of the Blues into the vocabulary of professional song-composers. Jazz standards “The Memphis Blues” and “St. Louis Blues” are the most famous of Handy’s own compositions, but his musical legacy can be heard in the works of composers as varied as George Gershwin and Keith Richards.

[@3735maple]

It still sounds just like Route 66. What does the style of the time have to do with the playing of St. Louis Blues? St.Louis Blues is St Louis Blues. Artistic license notwithstanding. What does being knighted have to do with it?

[@nfamoudou]

do I smell a hint of prejudice there? btw Brubeck was not Jewish.
