Elwood,

'Concert by the Sea' in Carmel CA. My favorite album by Garner.
I guess Catalina 30 owners have similar tastes. Lol's

Those of us who liked jazz liked these things but not everybody liked jazz. In 1955 an Army buddy talked some of us into going to a Dave Brubeck concert and I was the only one who enjoyed it and I had never heard Brubeck before.

:lol: :lol: I heard the same thing from a number of my musician buddies but they eventually came around once they understood what he was doing.

Take Five"
5 beats to measure.
I plays drums.
Brubeck did wonders with rhythms, as you'se guys know.
Attended Julliard school of music, as I recall.
Paul Desmond Sax, Connie Kay base, Joe Mirrolo drums.
yah man...

*****************
At times, Brubekck used rhythms from the Middle East. They have many more rhythms than exists in Western music. The 5-beat is called Kashlamah (sp) and is often used by belly dancers. It is the beat that separates the wheat from the chaff.
What do you think of the following (accented beats are bolded)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 then repeat from 1. Difficult to tap your toe to without previous knowledge.

**************************
I was able to teach it to a classical guitarist, who had been previously frightened by it, by breaking it down into "two threes followed by three twos." I then convinced her to accompany me. Another point of interest is that in Western music, there are approx. 34 different rhythms while in ME music there are as much as 72. Can you imagine 64/8ths with accents only on specific beats. I certainly admire their drummers.
As a mental exercise, I developed a step doing triplets on the feet and playing 16ths on the castanets. Raised quite a few eyebrows on musicians faces as I had to define it for them. Many don't realize that one is capable of dividing one's thinking along different lanes at the same time. I guess that's why I chose Flamenco. It's challenging and fun.
Oh, by the way, have you listened to the drum contest between Lionel Hampton and Duffy Jackson. Hampton is certainly the most musical with his use of tuned drums. Here it is:

If you look you'll also find a group that has many unusual instruments. Here's that one also.
