Dave Brubeck - Golden Brown

A little tribute to Dave Greenfield (keyboardist with The Stranglers who died with Covid-19 last week) and Paul Desmond (saxophonist with the Dave Brubeck quartet - the anniversary of his death is at the end of this month). Also because I've been enjoying editing videos and recording stuff over the last couple of months.

A couple of people have asked how I made this video so here we go -
The video was then edited using the clip I'd taken the drum loop from.

Hey! Thanks so much to everyone for the feedback on this, it's ended up getting a lot more traction than I'd anticipated... A few weeks ago, a label got in touch and asked if I'd be interested in releasing an extended version as a 45rpm vinyl, so I said yes. I've put another video up with more details of the release, along with a few answers to the questions I've had about this video. Head on over to my channel to view it, and thanks again for the support!

The salt mine called 'Youtube' is a rough and deserted place but every now and then you will find a diamond like this one.

Simply the coolest accountants you will ever see

It’s amazing that this cover was performed before the song was written!

My father in law whos recovering from a stroke gave me a massive smile listening to this as he's a big brubeck fan.

My mom sang with Dave Brubeck..many yrs ago in Lansing, Mi...at an old Michigan theater ( long gone now, sadly)...i was happy to meet him!

The suits. The ties. The haircuts. The talent. This puts me in another world! A glorious other world!

RIP Dave Greenfield... RIP Jet Black... LONG LIVE THE STRANGLERS!
"Golden Brown" is a timeless, immortal classic that will outlast us all.
(Nice work, Laurence)

My first reaction when I saw this was "I never knew Golden Brown was an old song from Brubeck" Well done!

[TheMafrand]

This version just make me realize how great the song is.

[gravityskeptic]

Getting old isn't that bad.
Decades ago I thought this was Hotel lobby music, now I can fully appreciate how brilliant this is.

There is so much that you can justifiably hate about the modern day technology, how its used to scam people, AI especially, but something like this… a little tech trickery to combine two brilliant timeless art pieces and make something uniquely beautiful. Its just pure

[theproclaimer]

Still can’t believe how cleverly Golden Brown was merged with this original Brubeck score. Incredibly well done fake. Hats off!

[Hiphopasaurus]

This seriously passes as an original Brubeck work and production in 1964. Bravo.

[kevinbirge]

That may be the finest sax playing I’ve ever heard. Controlled, expressive, soulful.

[BarManFesteiro]

golden brown on the piano like that just sounds insane to me its incredible

[Nashe_Dete]

What an era this was, classy and sensual, something we will never re-live again. Brilliant.

I normally don’t like when I’m fooled. But this is the exception. :-)
Perfect execution of both the Stranglers’ song as a homage to Brubeck’s work. Chapeau!

This is the kind of content that YouTube was created for. Can’t stop watching.
