They must be queuing up to make programes about the old master.

Paul Gambaccini presented a programme about him on Radio 4 yesterday.

Anyone interested can listen to it for another week at: [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00w7cmk"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00w7cmk[/url]

Every band member, an absolute master of his art.

Just look on in wonder

I'd recommend this - a wonderful piece of radio. Made my day.

For anyone who missed this first time around it was re-screened on Friday night on BBC4. It's now on iPlayer

Just sheer brilliance from Dave Brubeck even in his 90's but also from the other members of the quartet. It's quite a long watch at 1:30 but well worth it. Even if you don't have time / inclination to watch all of it at least check out the snipit on Eugene Wright at 33:55 - so fluid and effortless. Just amazing.
