[Dixielandjazz] Brubeck in Oakland

[EDWIN COLTRIN]

Thanks for all the onformation regarding Dave Brubeck. Yes there was a trio playing, Paul Desmond and some one else. As I was somewhat slanted toward  YBJB , Desmond was only a name.
 
For Steve, Burma Lounge strikes a note, rings a bell.. The bar / club was on Grand Avenue  as I have noted previously, after cobwebs cleared. 
 
The DJML items of various names and places opens doors that have been ignored for years
 
Sorry I missed Clint Eastwood..
 
Slainte 
 
Ed

Brubeck has a learning disability and is unable to read music.  The Special Ed Dean and a team at Ohio State (a  top school for special ed, as well as sports in my somewhat biased opinion -- see below) corresponded with him extensively about his procedures to deal with the problem.  There was supposed to be a book coming out about it, but I'm not sure it ever happened.

> Wasn't Desmond and Brubeck in the Army together during WW II, but  Desmond wouldn't hire Brubeck because he couldn't read music and it  was only later, in the real late forties, when Desmond started hanging  around and asking for a gig that they were able to hook up.  That was  the story I heard.  Read the book West Coast Jazz by Ted Gioia for  further details.

>> Clint Eastwood saw him there back then too. Also, back around then, maybe a little before, Paul Desmond was still playing clarinet in Dixieland Bands.
