Dave Brubeck Tickets Continued
Much of his music employs unusual time
signatures. Brubeck experimented with time signatures through much of his career,
recording Pick Up Sticks in 6/4, Unsquare Dance in 7/4, and Blue Rondo A
La Turk in 9/8, an experimentation begun with his attempts to put music
to the odd rhythms generated by various machines around him on his
parents' cattle ranch in a small town in the western United States.
Brubeck was not particularly interested in learning by any particular
method, but preferred to create his own melodies, and therefore avoided
learning to read sheet music. In college Brubeck was nearly expelled when
one of his professors discovered that he could not read sheet music.
Brubeck continues to write new works, including orchestrations and
ballet scores, and tours about 80 cities each year, usually 20 of them in
Europe in the spring.
