life ends at 27
A legend died today.
David Warren “Dave” Brubeck (December 6, 1920 — December 5, 2012) was an American jazz pianist. He wrote a number of jazz standards, including “In Your Own Sweet Way” and “The Duke”. Brubeck’s style ranged from refined to bombastic, reflecting his mother’s attempts at classical training and his improvisational skills. His music was known for employing unusual time signatures, and superimposing contrasting rhythms, meters, and tonalities.
Way better than it has any right to be.
On the bloody vid description:
…and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy.
…if you say so…
The last of the holy Paul-Fender-Marshall triumvirate has left us.
Image shamelessly lifted off Metal Hammer.
Performance by perhaps my favourite cellist Daniil Shafran.
The Chickenfoot guys have a pretty cool interview up. Of particular interest to me:
Sammy Hagar:
He never played like this in Van Halen. Eddie [Van Halen] doesn’t even realize what a great bass player he had. I think he never realized it, and that is his complete loss. I remember recording in Van Halen, Eddie was always saying, “Just play eighth notes.” And he would play all this stuff, and Mike’s just going, “boom, boom, boom, boom.” Boy, Mike’s really capable of playing more than that, and he never found out.
Well, I owe Mike Anthony an apology.
If you ever read this Mike, I’m sorry I nicknamed you the “One Thump Wonder”.
