Editing Dave Brubeck (section)

==Legacy==
The ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' noted that he "was one of Jazz's first pop stars", even though he was not always happy with his fame. He felt uncomfortable, for example, that ''Time'' magazine had featured him on the cover<ref>[https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/printout/0,8816,857657,00.html "Music: The Man on Cloud No. 7" (cover story)], ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'', November 8, 1954. {{Subscription required}} [http://drewgurian.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/as01.jpg Image] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130427145455/http://drewgurian.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/as01.jpg |date=April 27, 2013 }}</ref> before it did so for Duke Ellington, saying, "It just bothered me."<ref name="latimes">{{cite web |last=Brown |first=August |url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-dave-brubeck-dies-at-91-20121205,0,5395417.story |title=Jazz great Dave Brubeck dies at 91 |work=Los Angeles Times |access-date=December 6, 2012 |date=December 5, 2012}}</ref> ''[[The New York Times]]'' noted he had continued to play well into his old age, performing in 2011 and in 2010 only a month after getting a [[Artificial cardiac pacemaker|pacemaker]], with ''Times'' music writer Nate Chinen commenting that Brubeck had replaced "the old hammer-and-anvil attack with something almost airy" and that his playing at the [[Blue Note Jazz Club]] in New York City was "the picture of judicious clarity".<ref name="nytimes">{{cite news|last=Ratliff|first=Ben|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/arts/music/dave-brubeck-jazz-musician-dies-at-91.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220101/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/arts/music/dave-brubeck-jazz-musician-dies-at-91.html |archive-date=2022-01-01 |url-access=limited|title=Dave Brubeck, Jazz Musician, Dies at 91|work=The New York Times|date=December 6, 1920|access-date=December 6, 2012}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'', music journalist Ivan Hewett wrote: "Brubeck didn't have the réclame of some jazz musicians who lead tragic lives. He didn't do drugs or drink. What he had was endless curiosity combined with stubbornness", adding: "His work list is astonishing, including oratorios, musicals and concertos, as well as hundreds of jazz compositions. This quiet man of jazz was truly a marvel."<ref name="hewett">{{cite news |last=Hewett |first=Ivan |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/worldfolkandjazz/9726449/Dave-Brubeck-Endless-curiosity-combined-with-stubbornness.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/worldfolkandjazz/9726449/Dave-Brubeck-Endless-curiosity-combined-with-stubbornness.html |archive-date=January 12, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Dave Brubeck: Endless curiosity combined with stubbornness |work=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=December 6, 2012 |date=December 6, 2012 }}{{cbignore}}</ref>

In ''[[The Guardian]]'', John Fordham said: "Brubeck's real achievement was to blend European compositional ideas, very demanding rhythmic structures, jazz song-forms and improvisation in expressive and accessible ways. His son Chris told ''The Guardian'': "when I hear Chorale, it reminds me of the very best [[Aaron Copland]], something like ''[[Appalachian Spring]]''. There's a sort of American honesty to it."<ref name="fordham">{{cite web |last=Fordham |first=John |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/dec/05/dave-brubeck |title=Dave Brubeck obituary |work=The Guardian |date=December 5, 2012 |access-date=December 7, 2012}}</ref> [[Robert Christgau]] dubbed Brubeck the "jazz hero of the rock and roll generation".<ref>{{cite web |last=Christgau |first=Robert |author-link=Robert Christgau |date=December 7, 2012 |url=http://social.entertainment.msn.com/music/blogs/expert-witness-blogpost.aspx?post=073321a4-a3cb-465e-bcca-a623a23e023b |title=Dave Brubeck |publisher=[[MSN Music]].

''[[The Economist]]'' wrote: "Above all they found it hard to believe that the most successful jazz in America was being played by a family man, a laid-back Californian, modest, gentle and open, who would happily have been a rancher all his days—except that he couldn't live without performing, because the rhythm of jazz, under all his extrapolation and exploration, was, he had discovered, the rhythm of his heart."<ref>{{cite news |date=December 15, 2012 |url=https://www.economist.com/news/obituary/21568337-dave-brubeck-pianist-and-composer-died-december-5th-aged-91-dave-brubeck |title=Dave Brubeck |newspaper=[[The Economist]] |access-date=March 4, 2015}}</ref>

While on tour performing "[[Hot House (Gary Burton and Chick Corea album)|Hot House]]" in Toronto, [[Chick Corea]] and [[Gary Burton]] completed a tribute to Brubeck on the day of his death. Corea played "[[Strange Meadow Lark]]", from Brubeck's album ''Time Out''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rcmusic.ca/media/news-releases/december-concerts-royal-conservatory |title=December Concerts at The Royal Conservatory &#124; The Royal Conservatory of Music |publisher=Rcmusic.ca |access-date=August 18, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924085304/http://www.rcmusic.ca/media/news-releases/december-concerts-royal-conservatory |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

In the United States, [[May 4]] is informally observed as "Dave Brubeck Day". In the [[Date format by country|format]] most commonly used in the U.S., May 4 is written "5/4", recalling the time signature of "Take Five", Brubeck's best-known recording.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.saxontheweb.net/threads/5-4-is-dave-brubeck-day.237690/|title=5/4 is Dave Brubeck Day!|website=Saxontheweb.net|access-date=July 25, 2021}}</ref> In September 2019, musicologist Stephen A. Crist's book, ''Dave Brubeck's Time Out'', provided the first scholarly book-length analysis of the seminal album. In addition to his musical analyses of each of the album's original compositions, Crist provides insight into Brubeck's career during a time he was rising to the top of the jazz charts.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Dave Brubeck's Time out|last=Crist, Stephen A.|isbn=9780190217716 | publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York|oclc=1089840773|year = 2019}}</ref>
