DAVE BRUBECK WAS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND INNOVATIVE AMERICAN JAZZ MUSICIANS DURING HIS LIFETIME. IN THIS ARTICLE, WE OUTLINE HIS LIFE AND HIS MUSIC, INCLUDING HIS “TAKE FIVE” RECORDING.

To put Dave Brubeck in a box was an unwise thing to do. He’d just jump right out again, big, broad and strong, with those horn-rimmed glasses and that crazy, slightly cross-eyed smile. Call him cool, and he’d tell you that many of his jazz arrange-

ments were so hot, they sizzled. Lump him with players of white west-coast jazz, and he’d object that he felt more black than white. Suggest he was influenced by the pelting, intellectual strain of bebop that took over jazz in the 1940s, and he would say nope, he

didn’t listen to it; he only ever wanted to do his own thing. Call him the usher of a new jazz age, put him on the cover of Time magazine, where he landed in 1954, and he was crestfallen. Duke Ellington deserved all that, he said, but not him. E

like him: Paul Desmond on feather-light, floating alto sax, Joe Morello razor-sharp and witty on drums, Eugene Wright rocksolid on bass. Their greatest success, an album called “Time Out” (1959) that sold more than 1m copies, was a collection of breezily poly tonal pieces in wild time signatures, centring on a Desmond piece called “Take Five” written in teasing 5/4, and “Blue Rondo à la Turk”, devised by Mr Brubeck after hearing street musicians playing in 9/8 in Istanbul. These two pieces alone consolidated the quartet’s fame on campuses and in clubs all over America; but Columbia Records refused to release the album for a year, just baffled, said Mr. Brubeck impatiently, by the fact that it broke so many rules. It did, but hey, it sounded good. Whenever he sat down at the piano— an instrument as satisfying, to him, as a whole orchestra—his aim was to get

AWARDS

His contrarian ways went further. Give him a few bars of Beethoven, and he’d weave a jazz riff through it; but put him in the middle of a jazz set, and he would come up with classic counterpoint as strict as the “Goldberg Variations.” Sing him a tune in C, and his left hand would play it in E flat; give him a jazz line in standard 4/4 time and he would play 5/4, 7/4, even 13/4 against it, relentlessly underpinning the adventure with big fat blocks of chords. He was a jazzman who struggled to read notation and who graduated on a wing and an ear from his college music school; and he was also, in later years, a composer of cantatas and oratorios who was proud to have written a Credo for Mozart’s unfinished “Mass in C minor”. The musicians he picked for his quartet, which dominated the popular jazz scene from 1951 to 1967, were chosen because they could break out of the box

A prolific composer of jazz and classical pieces, Brubeck wrote 290 original compositions during his career. Here's the breakdown of these works. E

somewhere he had never got before. It didn’t matter how tired he was, how beatup he felt. He wanted to be so inspired in his explorations that he would get beyond himself. He liked to quote Louis Armstrong, who once told a woman who asked what he thought about as he played: “Lady, if I told you, your mind would explode.” In his own words, he

played dangerously, prepared to make any number of mistakes in order to create something he had never created before. Several people had set him on this path. His mother had first taught him piano when he preferred to be a rodeoroper; her rippling playing of Chopin round the house he remembered in a piece called “Thank You.” His platoon

commander in 1944, having heard him doodling on a piano, kept him away from the front line. And Darius Milhaud, his teacher after the war, taught him to see jazz as the natural idiom of America and the music of free men. Mr Brubeck believed seriously in jazz as a force for democracy: in post-Nazi Germany, in the Soviet Union, in the fragile post-war world (where he toured on behalf of the State Department) and in America’s South, where he insisted on performing with his black bassist and, when he could, pushed him to the front of the stage. Yet his mission was never to make jazz freer or more popular; it was to make music, pure and simple, any way he could. He sang his first polyrhythms against the

K4/5k

steady trot of his horse as he rode round the 45,000 acres near Concord, California, where his father managed cattle. In high school, playing at rough miners’ dances in the foothills of the Sierras, he would riskily “screw up the shuffle” by adding triplets to it. He wrote on the road, dreaming up “Unsquare Dance” (in 7/4) while driving to New York, and composing “The Duke,” his tribute to Ellington, against the beating windscreen wipers of his car. All this, with his use of folk songs and hymns and blues and birdcalls, his little snatches of homage to George Gershwin or Aaron Copland, and the freight-train urging of his playing, gave his jazz a flavour less of smoky dives than of open skies and plains.

Critics attacked him for getting rich from it. He said he had never wanted more than the union scale. They said he was too “European,” too college-focused, that his music couldn’t be danced to and hadn’t got swing; he pointed out the happy feet tapping at his concerts, and the number of records he sold. Above all they found it hard to believe that the most successful jazz in America was being played by a family man, a laid-back Californian, modest, gentle and open, who would happily have been a rancher all his days—except that he couldn’t live without performing, because the rhythm of jazz, under all his extrapolation and exploration, was, he had discovered, the rhythm of his heart.

chief editor jane mullen editorial consultant georgiana jones

creative director sarah stephens graphic editor kristian greve

hen we discussed who we might feature in our winter issue, which focuses on photographers whose work evokes a distinct mood, or feeling, in the viewer, my mind coursed through the many talented photographers whose work ranges from analogue, to digital, with techniques from the learned to the more experimental. My mind nestled on several unique and intriguing female photographers; these included cover photographer, Meryem Yildiz, and other featured photographers, Laura Makabresku and Annie Stephens, and the photographers we featured in our Interview and Portfolio departments, including Ellen Rogers, Brigette Bloom, and Jeanne Madis. Each of these women work in their own, uniquely beautiful ways. They create haunting imagery that explores multiple worlds, from natural world to the supernatural, home and hearth, to all-encompassing nature. More so than this, they explore themselves as individuals, and as artists. In many cases, what they find is both beautiful, and unnerving. And, as viewers, we are guided by these photographers to gaze not only at them, but at ourselves. The process of looking at their photos, looking at their reflections of their physical and psychological selves, in an almost voyeuristic light, allows us to

& TIPS FOR SHOOTING FILM Shooting analogue is one thing; shooting analogoe with vintage cameras is another beast altogether. In this article, Johnny Dunn walks through the ins and outs of shooting with vintage cameras, and gives his own tips and tricks on how to use them.

nvisible images are recorded on small sheets of plastic coated in crystals of silver halide salts when the shutter on a camera with film in it is pressed. Chemical processes are then applied to this film, which can get fairly complicated if you’re developing the film with your own hands, that render the images visible. Film is a fragile thing. Accidentally expose a roll of film to light, even if it’s only for a split second, and the whole roll of pictures can be ruined, and you would never even have known how they could have turned out. Film photography resides in an entirely different world than digital photography. There’s no convenience of a storage card or a nice, colorful screen on the camera to preview your pictures on. Most film rolls can record only 24 or 36 images, while a single memory card can hold hundreds or thousands at a time. With film, you have to finish an entire roll first before you’re able to change film types, whereas ISO in digital cameras, like everything else, is virtualized, and can be adjusted with the touch of a button. Any digital photographer that makes the switch to film will tell you how much more difficult and tedious it is to see results (but it can be so rewarding too).

TECHNICAL PROCESS But because the technical process in taking a photo (Adjusting aperture, shutter speed, etc) is the same, your skill development in film photography will transfer over to digital photography. Aesthetic and design rules, for the most part, are consistent as well. Some things, such as sharpness and depth of field, do require different techniques or at least different thinking in analogue photography, but for the most part, you would practice shooting with a vintage film camera the same way you would with a DSLR. Digital pictures emphasize sharpness, clarity, and other aspects of technical perfection whereas film photos are judged more for their fundamental aesthetics and candor. This is the reason

Film and digital photography are like two separate art forms capable of creating the same piece or image, just using different instruments with their own distinct styles.

A REWARDING EXPERIENCE The seemingly inconvenient drawbacks you’ll encounter in analogue photography, however, can become the driving force behind a creative mechanism that’s not feasible in digital photography. The limiting aspects of film forces you to slow down your workflow and processes. Add development times and costs on top of that and it can become rather difficult for the very casual photographer to continue pursuing analogue ambitions after the initial waves of retro reminiscence and nostalgia pass.

Bonus cards with film information

HIKI-KABU Number of Players: 2 or more Cards Used: 1 full deck of 40 kabufuda cards Game Length: Not set Goal: To get as close to 9 as possible At the beginning of each round of play the dealer is decided by having each player draw a card from the deck. The player with the lowest card becomes the dealer. The other players should sit in a circle in the order of their drawn cards, from right to left. Play now begins. The dealer shuffles the deck and passes it to each player. Any player can shuffle or cut the deck as they wish. Once they are all satisfied, the dealer deals one card face-up to each player including himself. Each player bets the same amount as their card. If they have a 5, then they bet 5. Once each player has placed their bet, the dealer deals each player one card face-down. The players look at their cards and add the total of the two cards. The goal of Hiki-kabu is to get a total of 9 or as close to 9 as possible. If the total is 10 or greater, the first digit of the number is ignored. So a hand of 17 is the same as a hand of 7, and a hand of 10 is the same as a hand of 0. Once all the players have learned their current totals, the dealer asks each player

(going right to left) if they would like any more cards. If they do, the dealer deals them a third card face-up. There are two rules in Hiki-kabu concerning taking cards that apply to all of the players (including the dealer): players are not allowed to take a 3rd card if their current total is 7 or higher, and they are required to take another card if their total is 3 or less. Now for the showdown. The cards are revealed. The player with the highest total wins the pot. If there is a tie, the players split the pot evenly. If all players have the same total, then the dealer wins the pot. There are two more special rules for Hiki-kabu. If a player has three identical cards in their hand, their hand counts as a 9 and all players have to pay triple their bet. The other rule applies only to the dealer. If the dealer's first card is a 9 and his second card is a 1, he wins regardless of what cards the other players have (even if its a three of a kind like above). If his first card is a 1 and his second card is a 9, this rule does not apply.

SPONSORSHIP DECK

BUSINESS of IDEAS

CONFERENCE

They’re coming from outside: outside of traditional business models, outside of traditional marketing and outside of traditional agencies. Disruptive and breakthrough ideas like Uber, AirBNB and Kickstarter didn’t come from the big guns in silicon valley or established marketers, they all came from outside. And on January 20, that’s where the CMA is going to take you (while staying warm!).

Date January 20, 2015

Venue One King West, Grand Banking Hall

Audience Mid- to senior level marketers and analysts from a mix of client and agency/supplier organizations

Attendance Goal

We’re bringing together a unique conference of creators, innovators and leaders like you, with insights from unlikely places and undiscovered territories – ideas from outside. You’ll hear from the creative thinkers building new tools for marketers and new channels for communicators and you’ll see how they can help you and your team not only manage change, but start directing it. Just imagine the possibilities of where it will take you and your business! Join us as we arm Canada’s senior marketing professionals with the information they need to innovate and stay competitive – to understand how to get outside of category thinking, identify new territories to grow and find out how to get there first.

blue ruin’s london dry gin was concocted using a found recipe that originated in the mid-to-late 1800s, when gin still had a fairly taboo reputation as a ruinous beverage. Here, we deliver you a delicious drink made up of 10 botanicals, including Juniper, Coriander, Cassia Bark, Orris, and Bergamont Orange peels.

blue ruin’s old tom gin takes you back in time to the early 1800s, when gin was soft, yet strong and sweet — and was dangerously infectious to all. Unlike other Old Tom gins, ours hints at the darker side of gins, bringing with it a stronger kick, a more biting flavour, while still maintaining its sweetness and softness.

blue ruin’s wild sloe gin is a traditional English liqueur based on old recipes. Wild sloe berries are handpicked from the Blackthorn Tree during the late autumn, when the frost is able to lock in the sugary flavours. They are then steeped in our gin for several months to create a rich, delicious plum-flavoured liqueur.

logo DeSign The redesigned logo was created using a customized version of the Hoefler & Co. typeface “Knockout.” The quirky, retro aesthetic of the lowercase letterforms are both enhanced and made almost abstract when merged closely together, creating a sculptural looking monogram that has a unique, playful characteristic, while still retaining a level of sophistication befitting to a modern art gallery. The sturdy, authoritative uppercase wordmark is meant to contrast with the more fun, abstract monogram, creating an intriguing visual juxtaposition.

logo Safe Zone Grey stripped area indicates Safe Zone. Other graphical and visual elements can be safely positioned up to the adjoining Blue area. Blue indicates Clear Space. The blue area must be kept free of all other graphical and visual elements. The minimum required Clear Space is defined by the measurement ‘X’ (equal to the height of the uppercase letters, known as the ‘cap-height’. The width is equal to the height.)
