Dave Brubeck
Piano Solo on
Everybody's Jumpin'

About

Dave Brubeck's piano solo is the 2nd of 3 on this recording, following Paul Desmond's alto sax and followed by Joe Morello on drums. Spanning three choruses of the 14-Bar form at a moderate 151 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:08. The recording demonstrates that unusual meters need not result in cerebral or inaccessible music; in the hands of the Brubeck Quartet, 6/4 time swings with irresistible momentum. "Everybody's Jumpin'" from Dave Brubeck's 1959 Time Out album is one of the most energetic tracks on the record, featuring three soloists across a 14-bar form in E-flat at 151 BPM. Dave Brubeck was 38 to 39 years old at the time of this 1959 recording.
