My dad lived Brubek & Desmond. Paul was my dad's second favorite sax player. (Behind only Getz)
So, I heard a lot of Brubek when I was a kid.
Watching those shots of Dave reminded me that my favorite part of competition piano was playing the ensemble category. First, I'm 13-16 years old playing with dudes on college scholarship for music. Guys could play.
Second, with the excellent string bass player, I didn't have to worry about basslines and just play cool substitutions with my left hand. Very liberating.
