It was of course both exotic and impenetrable to my young cloth ears. I remember the pleasure taken from being able to keep time drumming along smugly (thigh slappingly) to the 5/4 of the title track whilst my siblings struggled...<br />My entry to the genre was Armstrong too; joining the dots through his work with Ella Fitzgerald; the easy charms of Dexter Gordon's ballads then the inevitable challenges of Miles (Kind of Blue) and Coltrane (Favorite Things).

Of course, all of that album's songs are probably only a fifth of the length of Dave Brubeck's.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.com
