Yeah, I've read that he came from Concord, but the last time I was in that town was when I was in high school. La Salle High School just opened their school and invited our school band to play for them, since we were affiliated.
I've tried playing Take Five on my saxophone with the band. But it's hard to keep time and I would eventually get lost along the way. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : You know Brubeck was from Concord? His dad had a ranch near town. I think they even have a park named after him. His first albums had Bill Smith playing clarinet. Bill came to the U of W to teach when I was there and a few years later ran into him on TM residence courses. On 12/22/2015 09:30 AM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...

But Earth, Wind and Fire in the 1970s created a different soul sound by using 6/4 time and 6/8 time. The sound is more understandable with a slow funk. But it's difficult to play, especially when the musicians have to dance in unison for a choreographed performance. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote : From one of our local musicians.
