I have trouble concentrating when working on homework, (I'm a college student), but Mr Brubeck and Coltraine have been helping me concentrate and block out everything around me
ok but at least people are taking time out of their day to listen to this song, even if they're from tik too :') i love jazz, it's such an interesting genre!
I'm listening to the intro of this thinking, hey, this ain't a waltz, it's in 4/4. Then it switches up. Gotta remember what Album I'm listening to. Absolute genius.
As usual, when Paul Desmond plays these lower sweet tunes, his alto sax sounds as though it's Paul's own voice humming the solo to you.
After all these years, it's these kinds of solos that make me say, "Desmond is my favorite jazz horn player of all time." His tone and cool is still unmatched. Such a special musician.
Dave Brubeck on Kathy's Waltz:
“Kathy’s Waltz was named after my daughter, Catherine, who was always dancing… And dancing really funny steps... So it starts as Kathy jumping around the room in 4/4 and then goes into a waltz… Which is Kathy’s Waltz…”
