But, Mr. Brubeck and his group were absolutely the most laidback and tightly integrated bunch of musicians I've seen. Whew .. memories are golden — some say .... I just wish I could go back ... Misterfixit, What's your take on Brubeck's music? I've known jazz aficionados who look down on Dave, finding his work too structured and soulless. I think they're being snobbish, but I've had no musical training or background. Was Brubeck's music real jazz, whatever that means? Was he limited or second-rate? I've heard some of his work from live performances in Japan (thanks RP!) and it's a little looser than stuff from "Take Five." Did he put out even more freeform pieces? Thanks! Hope you haven't found any bugs in the Pentagon lately... [ Reply ]

For thinking, for driving. Ever notice that most of the prog rock champions come from the British Isles. A partial list follows: Yes, Procul Harem, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, E,L&P, Led Zepplin, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson. [ Reply ]

ckcotton Mar 18, 2013 - 11:46	Was lucky to see these guys (and all 6 other keyboard and touring band members) play Bimbo's in SF back when this was new.... one of the all time best shows... Its retro-electronica at its best! [ Reply ]

unclehud Jan 24, 2013 - 17:56	whoa. Just the ticket for a slow savoring stare out the window towards the nighttime skyline of one of the oldest cities in North America. Frenchfolk just seem to enjoy life a little better than the rest of us. [ Reply ]
westslope Jan 24, 2013 - 17:53	Solid 10. This ranks among the best ambient electronica of the period. [ Reply ]

k1j2cat Dec 29, 2012 - 11:54	I got this album (used) recently and it was perfect for driving back from San Francisco in the rain, down the 101 (California style). Was the best of the four CD's I'd brought on the trip. Definitely worth leaving on the repeat cycle. [ Reply ]
AliGator Dec 29, 2012 - 11:52	This sounds as fresh as it did the first time I heard it on RP...probably ten years ago. [ Reply ]
