For US members, tonight will be the second broadcast of the fantastic 2010 Dave Brubeck documentary Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet Way from 8:00-9:30 on Turner Classic Movies. It has only been broadcast one time on Dave's 90th birthday, and is not available on DVD. Executive produced and hosted by Clint Eastwood, it will definitely "make your day."

I'm amazed that this has not been released commercially, and hopefully it will come out soon so non-US members can have an opportunity to view it.

What tune is this based on?

"Finally it happened, the Sultanate of Oman has got the blues. These are five Ladies from the Diwan I teach. They started playing percussion one year ago and have never heard any blues or jazz music before. So we did all the singing stuff and so on, as Tony has showed it at the Limerick and Sassenheim workshops. That's the result."
