Just wanted you to know that FINALLY we have a website. It’s still in formation and we welcome any suggestions. It was created by Brian Chauley, former Fellow at Brubeck Institute and now assistant to the Exec. Director. We hope to do more by the addition of a newsletter and more photographs, and current news re: concerts etc. So visit us at davebrubeck.com.
Happy Spring to All!

Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...
It’s nice to see Brubeck on the Web with such a classy website. However, using Hoagy Carmichael’s “Georgia On My Mind” as the featured music for all the pages therein seems quite odd, considering Dave’s prolific compositional output. (As logical a choice as “Take Five” might appear, it is, of course, Paul Desmond’s.)
Perhaps some of Brubeck’s great tune “In Your Own Sweet Way” or even “Blue Rondo a la Turk” would make more sense?
Hi…
Could some kind individual with ties to the Brubecks mention that the picture of the “Classic Quartet” shows Joe Benjamin instead of Eugene Wright??
Thanx!
Jim
A minor point, but Brian’s last name is actually spelled “Chahley”, though it’s pronouced Chauley. Brian’s a bright young trumpeter who comes by his music honestly: his father Chris is a fine bassist.
