Thank you for uploading this beautiful, gently swinging song by the great classic Brubeck quartet (@least they sound like DAVE, GENE,JOE,and PAUL)! THANKFULLY, NO STUPID youtube ads to mess with it!!!

As a drummer I'd like to take a moment to recognize the impeccable time of Gene Wright on this tune. He is laying those half notes down like soft, buttery concrete, creating the magic carpet *(with Joe) on which Dave and Paul fly.

@@Bruce_Peters Yes. Thank you for letting me know. When I wrote that a year ago, Mr. Wright was still very much with us, but as you point out,, he recently passed! In a different kind of a way, Gene was like Joyce Randolph, who is the last surviving member of The Honeymooners! Anyway, thanks for pointing out Gene's passing. He was a magnificent "anchor" of that iconic group.

Dave Brubeck’s “In Your Own Sweet Way” takes the circle of fifths all the way from A to B, omitting just the final E that leads back to A. They’re all 7th chords: A7-D7-G7-C7-F7-Bb7-Eb7-Ab7-Db7-Gb7-B7. And it’s not an exercise. It’s a beautiful song.

I read that Desmond's composition “Wendy” was actually improvised one night on his solo on “For All We Know" with his "Canadian" group. It was a lick that spanned the song, so Ed Bickert told him he had a new song with it, so it became "Wendy" (the name of one of his girlfriends at the time). So "Wendy" uses the chord changes of “For All We Know" with his improvised melody.

As a former pupil of Milhaud and Schönberg, Dave is not only a brilliant pianist, he is capable of really swinging even if the jazz critics of the 50's and 60's found him rather brutal with the keyboard. It was balanced with the smooth and subtle sound of Paul who seems to effloresce the keys and blow in the mouthpiece as if he was kissing a woman...Pure Desmond.

Desmond’s solo has almost no 8th lines. The structure is so different than most other saxophonists in jazz. He almost slows down throughout the solo, sustaining even more notes, like he’s riding a wave to shore. The band is listening so intently, they become that wave for him. It’s goddamn beautiful

Brubeck wrote a lot of fine tunes, none better than 'Sweet Way.' my personal favorite recording was at the '56 Newport Festival. not to be (too) negative, but Brubeck couldn't pay his rhythm section enough, because they took such a terrible beating trying to make Brubeck swing. halfway through most solos, he'd go to his two-fisted sledge hammer and swing went out the window.
