Teasing the Korean

If we extend to composing/arranging/conducting, then Andre Previn. Possibly Michel Legrand and Lalo Schifrin, also, depending on parameters.

The Japanese CD is pitch corrected, or at least at a lower pitch than the EMI CD. I haven't compared it yet at the piano to determine if any of the tunes are in the cracks between keys.

Bob and Norman were brothers. Both played bass for Brubeck in the early years, pre-Eugene Wright. @jazzbo @John L Thanks for the info! 🥂

This studio recording does not seem to appear on another Brubeck album. Some online sources indicate that it was recorded for a single in 1956. However, the track on Greatest Hits is in true stereo. Anyone know the story?

For a smartass answer, you bring up a valid point. Brubeck was known for his interest in odd (for jazz) rhythms and polyrhythms. He did the famous 2 against 3 in "Someday my Prince will Come" a few years before Time Out. And then he did at least three Time albums afterward, including the one you mentioned. So, is the question really about removing Time Out from our reality and leaving everything else intact, or is it asking about how Brubeck would have done commercially without exploring oddball time signatures? If the question is the former, then Time Further Out may indeed have been the biggest seller, if it spoke to audiences at the time in the same way. If the question is the latter, then your guess is as good as mine. I've always loved Brubeck Time.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, Shazam is terrible for classical music. It tells you the conductor, the soloist, the orchestra, the opus number, the movement number, everything EXCEPT THE COMPOSER, which is usually what I am looking for and, presumably, what many people are looking for when Shazamming classical.

Love his playing on this Neal Hefti homage by Vic Mizzy, from The Addams Family.

Don't forget his two masterpieces Jungle Jazz and African Jazz, by The Great Les Baxter.

Greetings, all, Still here. I won't bore you with the details, but 2025 was a tough year for me. I've been clawing my way back out. Thanks all for the kind words.

Know him only from the Das Boot soundtrack. RIP.

Maybe Kentucky Fried Chicken will let you use it. (I write this as a vegetarian.)

Some of the reviews are saying that Ethan Hawke is miscast.

I learned recently that sometime in the late 1950s or possibly very early 1960s, Nelson Riddle wrote some arrangements for Count Basie. These were apparently played live by the Basie band, but not recorded. In 1962, Riddle gave four of the arrangements to British Bandleader Vic Lewis, who recorded them for a UK EP titled Vic Lewis Swings Nelson Riddle. https://www.discogs.com/release/11391413-Vic-Lewis-Vic-Lewis-Swings-Nelson-Riddle?srsltid=AfmBOopYLbhLVZrSkgJZaU4aCj7trkcQH6EClXH1tvGTrgk8qT3xsv8J I can't find these on the InterTubes, but here is a recent live video of one of the arrangements.

I'm a big fan of the Brazilian Octopus album, which has that international MPs fondue party sound that I can't resist. RIP.
