The Duke

A live performance of The Duke, played by Dave Brubeck.


One of the purposes of this channel was to make sure that when I'm away from my music, I'm not away from my music. This song has been haunting me recently, so I thought I'd upload it and see whom else it follows around.

Thanks for posting. This is the cut from the "Jazz at Newport" Festival album from the early 60s with Dave, Paul Desmond (sax), Joe Morello (drums) and Gene Wright on bass.

This joyfull piece is in my mind, since I got the album from a friend (I was a sweet sixteen then) in the 60 th's.

Great jazz piece. Love the Miles Davis version. It's great that Brubeck is still alive. I hope he's mobile and not wasting away in some old folk's home.

Thanks a lot. It ´s been following me around too. I am playing a Dave´s piano solo arrangement nowadays. A couple of years ago I played my own arrangement. The one you´ve uploaded is really great.

Well , this tune has also been following me around for a long time. I had never heard it played by Brubeck though, it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
