Dave Brubeck Quartet - 40 days

[@johnshl1345]

Joe Morello is the coolest cat to ever sit behind a kit

[@colinbartlett9851]

Utterly agree 👍

[@DalleDayul]

Everyone likes to meme about the lick since it's so prominent in this piece specifically, but this is probably my favourite ever use of it. Brubeck really brings out the best of the phrase through all the variations, he makes it seem almost touching and symbolic of something much greater. A fantastic example of how to use a recurring motif in jazz. Utter genius.

[@MattFoleysGhost]

Great example of how it’s not the lock that’s the problem it’s how you play it.

[@clarenicola1]

A style very few can compare,i feel like a snake and they are my charmer,they make you move in such a way with eyes closed and taken away.

[@stangetz534]

@@clarenicola1 where did this 'lick" come from not Charlie Parker.

[@JonHop1]

@@stangetz534 Hard to say.. Most attribute it to Stravinsky, because he is the earliest recordings of it publicly.. But it likely came from Classical origins that rubbed off into the Jazz and bebop playing of the 20's and 30's and became instrumental in bebop jazz language from then on..

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

You obviously know little about jazz. This is not "licc", this is the MOTIF. And the MOTIF is developed via various MOVEMENTS.

[@ratcatcher13]

Great and the spirit of Brubeck.

[@dkny02138]

I am 44 years old and have felt like I haven't been truly moved by a piece of music in probably 20 years. I am hearing this for the first time tonight and that dry streak is now broken.

[@jayluvonde9551]

So what was the last piece that truly moved you?

[@dkny02138]

@@jayluvonde9551 I know it’s trite but probably it would be OK computer the entire album. With paranoid android and exit music for a film being standouts for me. But really that whole period of the early 90s was a great time in music in my opinion.

[@r0mmm]

Hahaha that's exactly what I thought too 😂

[@stangetz534]

who is this lick attributed to?

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Lick body what? That is the seed of the melody and the theme used for developing, that is present in every good piece of music, from any music ever written, to the Beethoven 5th Symphony, any other symphony, any concerto, to Brubeck's 40 days. Only music ignoramuses use the word "lick", when there was already a better one used centuries before the idiots who use word "lick"were born.

[@GlidingChiller]

0:08 Brubeck really was ahead of his time, he even played the L I C C

This isn't just the best version of The Licc, it's one of the best pieces and performances of jazz music ever written or played. When future historians or aliens want to know the epitome of jazz, they should watch this video.

[@JonHop1]

This is both the hardest and easiest song to play on Bass.. lol... OMG i struggle with it so much! Its because they are all playing different rhythms at the same time and its so easy to go off course or lose pace. Its truly incredible. And its so bizarre how the bass line comes in and out of rhythm with the song. Its incredible and genius.

[@j.c.9784]

If aliens ever came and wanted to destroy us.. I think we could play some Brubeck and it might give them pause.

Mr. Brubeck was commissioned to complete a jazz Mass in 1980. He converted/joined the Catholic Church at the completion of the project. Many U.S. cities have churches that have gospel / jazz Masses. In San Diego - Christ the King @8:30am, St. Brigid's in L.A., Our Lady of Guadalupe and Int'l Shrine of St. Jude's in New Orleans, St. James in Las Vegas @ 11am... there are many more...

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

​@@lennyappleton2840 Parker did not invent chromaticism. Chromaticism is a Classical idea, as old as the tonal approach to composition. Jazz is the continuation of the Classical tonal approach. But regarding the two players, they are two opposites. Even Parker's timing and Desmond's timing have nothing in common, and when timing is different, everything is different.
