With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Favoriting December 6, 2020: He Coulda Been A Cowboy
Dave Brubeck was born on a ranch, and his dad was hoping he’d take over the business. Instead, he went on to study with composer/teacher Darius Milhaud, go on to have the best-selling record in jazz history, form a quartet with Paul Desmond that lasted 17 years, and went brilliantly on from there for another 40 years or so. A polyrhythmic, polytonal composer and explorer, and a fighter for social justice as well. Happy birthday.

I really have lots of admiration for Schaap. He's worth the slog through his rhetorical mishmash of the essential, the minute, and the TOTALLY expendable. He's notorious for contradicting interviewees with recording dates and such. Even so, he's a good interview himself, and a huge resource of jazz oral history. He just needs a tiny bit of editing

I think even those who make fun of Schaap acknowledge he's about as well-informed as it gets - just that sometimes he discourses in a kind of loop say on his method of research & about his researching than in revealing it... & all of the above more than playing Music. I love being informed so I've never regretted listening to him - but perhaps no more as a staple of the diet than - once a week??...
Also - he's been battling ill health - & I'm sure we all want to send him the best vibes...

adamdoesit:

Cantstopwontstop. I mean, can't get my Phil.
My sense is that Schaap's engagement with the essential and the minute is of a piece with his engagement with the recorded legacy of Charlie Parker, to which he dedicated his life, down to the last scrap. They're both full of false starts, pet riffs, alternate takes, and moments of jaw-dropping invention and discovery. His verbalizations convey the sound of that study, a decades-long act of sustained attention. It's beautiful, exhausting stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:34pm
doctorjazz:

Schapp has gotten longer and longer winded over the years. It may just be aging... He also teachers at Columbia, and gives classes at Jazz at Lincoln Center, which also likely increased his lecturing time on air. Not "anti-Schapp" myself, he was a really big part of my jazz education. But it has gotten harder to listen to him recently, he'll play a half hour of great music, then talk about it for an hour. (He has been battling cancer, and I wish him the best of health!)

He didn't really ever learn how to read music properly. he had bad vision problems as a kid, and Milhaud told him don't worry about it. Compose, and use jazz in your writing. Brubeck called his work "improved composing." He would redo any piece, any different way.
He was willing to try anything new with anybody.

Brubeck was a real journey of discovery for me. He's such an inventive composer, and writes for, and surrounds himself with such utter genius, that the more you hear, the more you realize how great he was. Maybe not the chops of the immortals, but to paraphrase what Kenny Clarke said about Francy Boland: that motherfucker swings, just with his writing.!"

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:43pm

I agree with doctorjazz and Irene: I've been too ready to write Brubeck off as a player who hides lack of blues feeling behind clever structures. What comes through for me in these recordings is his ability to give time, space, and paying gigs to wonderful musicians, without having to outshine them. (I guess I'm thinking of him as a little like John Lewis now -- or Basie, for that matter.) To maintain a creative setting is creative in itself. Thank you, Stork, for giving me occasion to reconsider.

@RevRabbit I like that thought about rhythm. For me, it might've been the presence of Jimmy Rushing a few tracks back; or Morello sounding to me like Papa Jo a couple hours ago; or maybe the sense that, with Brubeck, there's always something to Count?

Agree with Adamdoesit and some of the other comments, always thought of his playing as somewhat clunky. And, maybe as a white jazz player who found quite a bit of success playing this music (and not as well as many struggling black musicians) also lead me to judge him harshly. I'd say the John Lewis analogy is apt, to me anyway.
