RIP: Dave Brubeck. I just found out that this legendary jazz pianist and leader of the infamous "Dave Brubeck Quartet" just passed away today. In 1957 he recorded "Dave Digs Disney", which was an album of jazz covers of well known Disney songs. Here is a link to an article about that album. http://www.jazzwax.com/2011/05/dave-brubeck-digs-disney.html

Wow this is sad - a true Jazz legend. I love the Disney album he did, I listen to it all the time. - Admin 9:57AM
πŸ˜” Thank you for the link! May he rest in peace. - Duchess_SMK  3291.4 #11 10:04AM
I realize not everyone on MW is familiar with jazz music. However I bet most have at least heard "Take Five", as it is probably the most famous jazz number of all time. Take some time out to experience great music. - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 10:21AM
Very sad. I love his music. Thanks for posting. - bayareadisneygirl  155.4 #2221 10:23AM
Just looked up 'Take Five'. Yes, I know that piece and it is beautiful! As usual, brought me to tears to hear it and know that a Great has passed. Thanks MusicMike 🎢🎀 QC - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1802.5 #42 10:32AM
didn't know that he also did the Pink Panther theme. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1802.5 #42 10:35AM
That was Henry Mancini - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 10:37AM
delete !! I do not like when I YouTube something and they trick me!! (no wonder I did not know πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1802.5 #42 10:39AM
Go sit in the corner and listen to Ace Of Base - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 10:42AM
LOOK, I *just* got that darn song out of my head 3 days ago! mumblegrumble. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1802.5 #42 10:44AM
The sound quality on his Disney album is amazing, especially considering it was recorded in the 50s. - Admin 10:44AM
It's amazing what they can do with modern technology when remastering old recordings. They lose the old "hiss" from the tapes and bring out the music. - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 10:48AM
A great musician. Thanks for the link SantaMike. I love Disney Jazz. Rest in peace Mr. Brubeck. - PrincessLeia  263.5 #887 10:47AM
Wow! Thanks for the link! I grew up in a very musical house, and have listened to a lot of Jazz so I'm pretty excited about this! My dad is a professional musician, my kids and I all play, and always have music going in our home. Hopefully iTunes has this Disney album! Thanks! - 7mouskedoodles  161.1 #2137 11:10AM
Take Five is my FAVORITE! - LaTruce  1666.3 #45 1:21PM

May he rest in peace. - meridafan  1038.3 #83 2:38PM
I am greatly saddened with the loss of Mr. Brubeck. I played in my high school jazz band as a set drummer for 4 years, and we played many of his pieces. His music and contributions to the genre will not be forgotten, and neither will he. - JRDrummer_CM  792.8 #119 2:44PM
Very sad. As a Concord Blue Devil alumni this holds a special place in my heart. We covered many if his song renditions. RIP Dave! - EpicDio  381.7 #355 2:45PM
This is sad news. And tomorrow is his birthday! RIP and thanks for all the good tunes!! - princessfrozenbanana  13.9 #5848 3:35PM
RIP Mr. Brubeck. You truly will be missed - Starr  549.9 #202 3:36PM
I got very lucky to see his 80th bday show at the Hollywood bowl... - Dave  8671.1 #2 3:38PM
A true legend. May he RIP, and may his music live on. - Gia  785.7 #121 5:31PM
