Newport Jazz Festival
Dave Brubeck Quartet with Wynton Marsalis <\/font><\/strong><\/font>
August 14, 2005
by Matthew S. Robinson<\/p>\n

<\/font> Greeting the crowd with a scraggly-voiced introduction, piano deity Dave Burbeck mellowed the tone quickly into an appropriately breezy rendition of “Gone with the Wind” in which his gleaming piano acted mostly in a supporting role until a late chorus in which the 50-year Newport veteran showed he could still grip the keys with the best of ’em. As Brubeck’s learned hands fell firmly on the keys, his clutches became a bit clunkier in the thunderous opening throws of “Stormy Weather” which was carried by Bobby Militello<\/strong>‘s hot and steamy sax. After some light-hearted complaints of life on the roads of England, Brubeck let loose the swirling self counterpoints of the title track to his latest album, “London Flat London Sharp” (Telarc). <\/p>\n

At this point, a dapper Wynton Marsalis joined the band, releasing his own cascades of breathy dynamics and fiery blasts before opening into a roomy “Embraceable You.” The peppier rendition of “A Train” was driven by the chugging rhythms of bassist Michael Moore<\/strong> and drummer Randy Jones<\/strong>. And though it occassionally got off track, taking a brief detour into “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love,” the New Orleans-inspired jam was able to pull the crowd into clapping and swing dancing along before pulling back into the musical station for a standing ovation. <\/p>\n
