[samszeman]

So good.



[weheritage]

Reminds me of Indiana Spring, Kirkwood Ave, the Old Library and the Book Nook.

[MrDreamTheater2]

Maroon 5 is superior.

[claudichameleon]

geez.... le infants! this lovely early jazz tune goes way back to Hoagy Carmichael, c. 1927. It's an american Jazz standard and there's not a jazz band worth salt that hasn't done a rendition or two of this classic. the words are as beautiful as the music. Brubeck's version is especially lovely though.... *')

[louistaglia8]

Exquisite,lush perfect,what can you say to such a masterpiece.Does anybody know of or have access to this arrangement ,transcription I would be extremely grateful and humbled to share this incredible music with another musician. trouble locating someone with a re;iable copy

[basicaa]

What an incredible rendition of a beautiful timeless song. Thanks for posting and sharing with lovers of good music everywhere

[DocDich]

I like the version they presented on" Live at Oberlin College 1953", I believe the arrangement is different, and the quality is excellent given the era standards

[strelnecov]

excellent 

[sterlingflowers]

Ahh, Dave

[carolg60]

Quite beautiful and a very nice quality. Lovely crystal clear piano notes.

[rajeshhamalable]

damn,1 guy is deaf

[skateslakai67]

does anyone think this is perfect christmas music?

[paulbeatles91]

Incredible. No words.

[m8musicrecords]

allways 1 dislike ):

[infamito]

HOOOOLY SHIT!!!! EPIC!

[GustavDav]

Marvelous



[Spookz47]

I'm 17 and I love it. So happy I found this

[rokedetbamidbar]

All I can say is - wow.

[200millones]

my favorite quartet, and saxophonist paul the best to date

[legatofancier]

Hoagy Carmichael was something special, and this interpretation is special indeed! Yes, is is rather like Satie! Sublime!

[bbridge8]

I think Hoagy Charmicael would think his work was even better than when he wrote it after hearing this rendition. It is absolutley mesmerizinley poetic. I was unaware that Brubecks group had such a deep sense of pure artistry

[importantisimo1]

@bbridge8 YOUR'RE RIGHT, POETIC SOUL SOUND!

[iamalwaysawoman]

Dave Brubeck is one of my favorites...so is Stardust...perfect!!!

[martinaxman]

How can anyone not like Brubeck? This stuff touches my soul. Niiiccceee.

[MrAprilTv]

thats nice

[novanine9]

thanks for posting this!

[coachcdobbs]

This is absolutely stunning! Does anyone know the chord changes from 0:27 to 0:30? That might be the most beautiful set of chord changes I have ever heard. The voicings and the harmonies created in that three seconds of music is just incredible.

[LeatherCladVegan]

@coachcdobbs

I'll have a go... I don't have a keyboard with me so I have to work it out by ear, sorry. Also, I'm using numbers because I don't have perfect pitch;

The chord progression is actually 1 to 4, but the 4 has alterations... It's the harmonised melody which makes it so pretty; the melody is in two parts, the higher of which goes 8,3,7,2,6,8,5,7,6,5... and the lower of which is chromatic, and goes 6,b6,5,b5,4... then I lose it. Sorry, it's really tough... I fail :(

[porkadachop]

I've been checking out different versions of "Stardust" on Youtube for almost an hour. What a brilliant song that lends itself to interpretations that range from haunting to frantic. Great job, Dave.

[brightnblusey]

The clarinet was absolutely breathtaking, UHH alto sax

[brightnblusey]

A lovely jazz excursion, it immediately got into my mind and I followed the melody through the stars. The clarinet was absolutely breathtaking. I really like Brubeck and I've somehow overlooked this piece. But ,WOW

[4708176666eoj]

Dave Brubeck did a great job on Stardust, but Hoggy did the best on this song. Dave did his version of it and I like both ways

[Trollhatten01]

wonderful ...with Paul Desmond at the end beautful and clear.... !!

[kocn53]

@Trollhatten01 I think that's probably Bill Smith on clarinet.

[alshouse]

It does sound like Satie  :)

[hazlettschool]

No one could/can do it quite like Brubeck. 0:28 literally sounds like stardust falling.

[thatsjustgr8]

Awesome, definitive!

[JayIvory87]

a masterpiece

[47sari47]

god, i love this!

[rosesredvioletsblue]

classic, beautiful piece. ty for posting.

[martinet17]

RADIOMARTINET thanks you !

[SCordeliaB]

crazy

[brndoil]

beautiful piece, just so beautiful

[stubs13]

Somebody accidentally pressed the dislike button!

[juvenalsm]

pieza tocada de forma originalísima. El gran Dave Brubeck la borda. Gracias pr colgarla.

[byteeeemeeee]

I've been looking for this particular arrangement for about a decade now. Does anybody know where I can find the piano sheet music for this spectacular version? I'm beginning to think it was never published...

[DakotaK8lyn]

Hi byteeeemeeee - The piano sheet music does exist - I have it and I really love to play it. However, I've had it for a very long time so I'm not sure if it's still available. Mine was published by Balwin Mills Publishing Corp in Melville, NY. It was $2.50 at that time. I just looked at the copyright! The first one was 1929! and then renewed in 1957 by Mills Music, Inc. in N.Y., NY

[rollituplightitup85]

can safely say Brubeck is one of the most talented composers of our time

[kornatze]

dave looks like a jew.

[ynotime2dream2]

So what. What does that have to do with a man's talent or music. The world is full of people from every conceivable race and religion. Get over it.

[Azawindam]

The clarinet solo gives it a very soft touch to this piece. Lovely!

[retrohippie]

@Azawindam Clarinet?  I was thinking it was a soprano sax...

[custardapple777]

@retrohippie Yeah it’s sometimes really hard to tell if it’s a clarinet or a soprano sax - even my buddy who plays the clarinet for a band sometimes can’t tell when I say “What is it ?”!!

Here I can’t tell, a few notes sound reedy like a soprano sax. But some sax players achieve a non-reedy sound too.

[retrohippie]

@custardapple777 Hmm, well whether it's a clarinet or a soprano, it's practically the soul of this piece. ;]]]

[KraaaYoN]

@custardapple777 It is a clarinet solo by Bill Smith.

[custardapple777]

@KraaaYoN Thanks so much

[pocketunicorn]

the trill at 4:41 makes me sigh every time. it's one of the loveliest things i've ever heard.

[Patrickphx11]

nice nice...

[200millones]

paul desmond a mi gusto el mejor saxofonista que yo he escuchado y el arreglo de esta pieza en especial inmejorable. puntuacion 10 estrellas.

[CosmosRipper]

this is perhaps the most beautiful song i have heard and will ever hear

[babeofelvis]

Amazing....

[pianoplaylist]

Wow!

[nouoriel]

don't bite my head off jazzers, but this reminds me of the vibe on flamenco sketches. really nice stuff.

[spacekait]

Beautiful piece. This reminds me of one of Satie's Gymnopaedes.

[ttellerx]

@spacekait That's what I thought too but it quickly moves away from he Satie piece

[mousigama1]

@spacekait Tout à fait

[OceansBoulevard]

@spacekait and this reminds me of a Paganini variation by Rachmaninov :D

[woodlawn4623]

Personal opinion - best brubeck album was Jazz at Oberlin - Stardust, foolish things, perdido, how high the moon, way you look tonight, audience went wild.

[isoceles180]

Thanks for posting

[vambo23]

Gorgeous.

[MrAmandeepsodhi]

very vry sophisticatedly calculated mucic played by dave burbek love it

[Fergophone]

Beautiful and so sensitively played.

[Roundeye01]

Music like this always brings me right to the middle.  So peaceful and perfect.

[dddlll]

blue in green , is the track.

[dddlll]

theres a similar track on "a kind of blue" album , of miles davis

[c4rv3r]

I had no idea that Paul was such a fine clarinettist, too...

[shranki]

@c4rv3r Hi, it is Bill Smith on clarinet. They worked together in the "early days" with the Octett (1946), and than in the early 60s, they recorded 2 BRILLIANT quartet-albums (Smith, Brubeck, Write, Morello). In the 80s, they rejoined, and that must be the time, when this tune was recorded - according to the changes in the clarinet´s style.

Greeting!

[crankyanker157]

PAUL DESMOND FAIL

[crankyanker157]

FAIL

[mop16761]

SIMPLESMENTE MARAVILHOSO!!!!!

[homebody15]

oh, this is lovely! Thank you for posting!

[luismariac]

Enoooormeeeeee!!!!! Gracias!!!!! Very very happy that finally your unhappy feeling about this song wasm't on YouTube has finished, Jdarryl13. As Bronco said, it brightened my day also!

[bronco98765]

this rendition brought tears, very tender and thoughtful, it feels like a soft breeze in the willows on a summer evening, a good book and a well mixed cocktail (scotch), thanks a million, it brightened my day

[xDR0Wz13]

hey can you send me this song please?

i really like it

[all4theillini]

Dave Brubeck - an American treasure. Bravo!

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

Indeed a beautiful, a perfect composition by the great Hoagy Carmichael, played here as kinda by-Satie-inspired choral. Inimitable! Thanks Dave for the wonderful music.

Bruno Leicht, an admirer

[Enothrae]

@BrunoJazzmanLeicht arent you the guy that went apeshit about some video from john coltrane or something?

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

@Enothrae -- No.

[emiahboo]

so interresting wow ...i cant think of anything beter then this bru you my man

[burnttoastandbutter]

Thank you for posting this one. Sooo beautiful.

[md1960md]

This is my favorite instrumental rendition of the classic. My favorite vocal is the great Nat Cole.

[loki866]

Doc Severinsen and the tonight show band did a great version of this song, its somewhere on youtube, andyou should def check it out

[s22s55s88]

Bill Smith on clarinet-it`s wonderfull!!!

[c4rv3r]

So this is not Paul Desmond ?

[tbcass]

There is a live version with Paul Desmond recorded in 1953 here on You Tube. Check it out.

[FunkFreshAtze]

No, it's not Paul. This recording is from '91. It's released in 92 on "Once when I was very young". Bill Smith is playing clarinet, Jack Six bass & Randy Jones on drums.

[stillavril]

This is so klunky!

[hendrix726]

favorite brubeck. i had the good fortune to see him this year in Massachusetts.

[emiahboo]

i love this song so much my dad is even fillin it couse if i were this good i would win over this girl at scholl called jaydyn austin thinks she likes him she dosen't have any taste but i still like her pece

[bloootube]

Jonas, I'm a Bru fan from the days of Time Out and Time Further Out - way before you were born - but somehow I missed this one. Don't know the hows, whys or wherefores you or YouTube sent this to my site, but I'm grateful, Bro. Except for the YouTube community I'm all alone on a Saturday night, and this song goes down SO mellow with the glass of burgundy I have next to the shift key. Here's a toast to you and Bru, Bro! Thanks - and keep yer nose in those books, eh? :) Blue, but cool "bloootube"

[fedecuco]

Exceletent!

[1qb75291f]

Dave Brubeck is one of the finest musicians and musical artists I have ever known. I was fortunate in having met him and the family, and visiting him at his home when I was in music school in CT in the 60s. The man never runs dry. His creativity seems endless.

[jasjjb]

Magic !! I had almost forgotten about this gem indeed - thanks a lot for this reminder.

[dankostojnic]

the best made stardust. probably the way some impressionist composer would do a century earlier...

[Jamestersax89]

One of my favorites. Would love to see a live recording!

[rebelmachine88]

Thank you for this, it's wonderful
