Name that tune! Part Four of lost Australian performance of Dave Brubeck Quartet hosted by Digby Wolfe.
The film was saved from destruction in 1984 and now is with the Australian National Film and Sound Archive.
A 1" PAL telecine transfer of the film was sent to Dave Brubeck's management in the mid 90s.
@tdubasdfg Sounds to me like Daves in two and Gene and Joe are in three.

What else can you do except smile when you have such a wonderful alto standing right in front of you playing.

Man Dave is a Genius at one point in the song
Gene is playing in 3
Joe is playing in 4
and Dave is soloing in 2 over Genes 3 pulse
and it all just came together effortlessly i hope to put together a group like Dave's one day

The song Dave and the guys are playing is the theme song to the show they're on right now. Dave's such a great cat and at 88 is still going strong.

Thank you for posting this most excellent piece of Brubeck Quartet history. Thank goodness that it was saved from the trash heap.

Wow, it's not Waltzing Matilda... what on earth can it be? I don't think the Quartet ever recorded this arrangement. It's the typically Brubeckian 3/4 & 4/4 mixture, I love that.
