Spotlight SUNDAY OBSERVER- APRIL 20, 1958. Those of us who heard Dave Brubeck and his Combo in action will say a thousand thanks to those who made it all possible. Never in all our lives have we had the privilege of listening to such unadulterated, uninhibited music, played by some of the world’s best artistes. To watch Brubeck in action was to see fresh, new visions of music and rhythm. If drums could sing there never was a sweeter rhythm than what Joe Morello beat out. This genius was playing 4 different rhythms simultaneously; his right foot didn’t know what …

CEYLON OBSERVER – April 18, 1958 “Real Gone” Modernist Dave Brubeck was very impressed with our Ceylon audiences at his concerts in the Green House, a colleague tells me. So pleased was he that on Wednesday night he produced one of his “real gone” sessions a 28-minute version of Bru’s Blues which my colleague says was one of their best efforts to date. Paul Desmond’s alto-sax solo was inspired, and Dave Brubeck followed with a long piano solo which had everything, chunks of block chords, several snatches of popular favourites, and delicate. Bach- like phrases. Gene Wright on bass and …

CEYLON OBSERVER – April 17, 1958, Page 5. Audience Reaction Audience reaction, as far as the Dave Brubeck Quartet is concerned, is tremendously good, I learn. In any case, one thing that has proved this contention is the fact that the quartet put over Bach on their opening night. This, I understand, is only for very advanced audiences, and the group will not play it unless they feel that the audience is with them, so to speak. Maybe the quartet will come back one day on their own. They will find a few changes, among them a completely reconditioned Green …

CEYLON OBSERVER – April 17, 1958, Front Page. Brilliant Brubeck He played to entranced audience Once again last night Dave Brubeck and his quartet entranced the audience at the green house with their tasteful, purposeful jazz. Dressed in cotton shirts and slacks in the sweltering heat they gave a magnificent demonstration of the special quality which has made this team a household word wherever good music- classical or jazz is appreciated. They make it look- and sound- ever so simple but their casualness does not conceal their brilliant virtuosity. Last night Brubeck gave each member of the combination to display …

Even if everyone didn't "dig" Brubeck's music at the Orchid Room they certainly had a whale of t atime. But the last word when to Susie Shelnutt, daughter of the US Embassy's Public Affairs Officer, Leen A. Shelnutt and Mrs. Shelnutt. Ambassador Gluck who received a garland handed it over to Susie. Susie, garland in hand, bided her time. When the echo of the last beat had died away, the hep cats had walked out with their feet still twitching and only the real enthusiasts were around. Little Susie, went up to Brubeck, motioned to him to bedn low, and …

The Jazz Concert: Original and Enjoyable. Brubeck Quartet. By A Music Critic. For Delhi the entertainment offered it in the University Gardens on Tuesday night was as original as it was enjoyable. This was not in the set tradition of the classical concert for which the Delhi Music Society has now created a tradition and a demand. But is is preceisely the kind of thing that University students enjoy with a relish that does not attend a performance of classical music and that almost certainly reflects youth, high spirits, a wild primitive sense of rhythm and that response to mime-in-sound …

The Twain Meet in Music. Dave Brubeck, leader of the new progressive jazz school in America, is all concentration as he watches, and listens to, Halim Abdul Jaffar Khan play on the sitar in Bombay. Perhaps Brubeck's sensibility has been quickened by the similarity between jazz and the melodies created on the spur of the moment out of the sitar, for improvisation is the distinctive characteristic of great jazz music as well as great sitar music. Brubeck's modern jazz quartet will appear in Delhi on Tuesday.

Mr. Coolu' Got a Warm Polish Reception. By Ralph J. Gleason "We should send more jazz groups to Poland, the Poles consider jazz an art; it means the free expression of the individual to them," said Iola Brubeck, wife of pianist Dave Brubeck. Mrs. Brubeck returned last week from Europe where she accompanied her husband and his quartet on an extended tour. The high light of their tour was a two week series of concerts in Poland, sponsored by the State Department and the American National Theater Association.

THE TIMES OF INDIA APRIL 4 1958 Pianist Most Outstanding Brubeck Concert Captivating By Our Music Critic One needs to bear in mind the fact that the Bach family’s favourite diversion was the quodlibet on Sunday afternoon. I am not for a moment suggesting that the music-lover who considers himself an intellectual will need that excuse to be able to say that he enjoyed Thursday night’s recital by the Brubeck Quartet at the Eros Theatre. Nor am I suggesting that jazz must be regarded purely as a form of musical diversion and not an art form in its own right. …
