My self-education into the world of jazz continues. I've bought a 3 album Brubeck set and am currently being entertained by 'Brubeck Time'; an early album recorded back in 1954. This particular song from the album is an improvisation on the jazz standard "Oh, Lady Be Good'. It's origin and title were an 'expression of rage and frustration' at photographer Gjon Mili who had been enlisted to film the quartet recording. I love how, when you spend any time listening to Brubeck's band you realise how incredibly deep these 'simple' tunes are.
