Dave Brubeck for Laodicean

Post by Allegro »


^ Blue Rondo A La Turk | Dave Brubeck, d. 05DEC12


^ It’s A Raggy Waltz | Dave Brubeck Quartet
  • ^ See All Music. “It’s a Raggy Waltz” is an unusual item among Dave Brubeck’s vast number of compositions, as he contributed both the music and the lyrics to this song. Debuted in 1961 on the album Time Further Out, this piece isn’t exactly a waltz or a rag but a choppy piece with constantly shifting accents that don’t predictably fall where the listener expects. It had immediate appeal on concert dates, turning up on The Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall and his collaboration with singer Carmen McRae (Take Five). He also revisited “It’s a Raggy Waltz” with three of his musical sons on Brother, the Great Spirit Made Us All. Chris Brubeck’s humorous arrangement for a recording session with folk singer Bill Crofut, guitarist Joel Brown and Classical singer [mezzo-soprano] Frederica von Stade is particularly memorable. Others who have recorded the song include guitarist Marc Fossett (known for his work with Stephane Grappelli) and pianist Jim Hession.

^ It’s a Raggy Waltz (revisited) | Frederica von Stade, Chris Brubeck, Bill Crofut
Art will be the last bastion when all else fades away.

All the folk are strange in this world.

I must be a foreigner.

Head games, baby.

Head games.





The moon calls.

Am I journey man?

A pilgrim's progress;


The wheel keeps on turning.

And once more back to Kansas.

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man.

Though my mind could think I still was a mad man.

And if I claim to be a wise man?

I still listen to Planet Rock a fair bit.

Cosmic coincidence control,
Doth often work through rock n roll.

I make shitty lo-fi rock. Maybe some of you will like it. Here's a link to my bandcamp:

I made some videos to put on youtube awhile back. Here's one of them. This one probably has my favorite lyrics.

"Go looking for a second quarter."

Can you hear the clarion call?

Wishing Eye.

Slam Cartel.

Search Youtube etc. It's a great song.

I hope Ozzy was right about the no more tears bit.

I'm getting the strangest sinking feeling today.

Come sail away.

I shall hold thee with mine eye.
