I didnt think I could hate brubeck more, but now I do. Fighting communism, oh please. The fight in russia and Poland wasn't of communism, it was authoritarianism.
Wow, I didnt know Dave Brubeck was an apologist for imperialism.
Dave B. and Cal Tjader were friends of my Mom.. We used to get into the Black Hawk on Hyde St. back in the 50’s to dig these Catholic Jazz greats. We were in the “Chicken Coop!”😊
whats the song that plays during the intro? not take 5 but the one where the animated piano keys are shown.
What‘s the song called at the beginning?
Yes because America was a haven for equality and freedom at that time. Jesus christ
what a loada
As a communist I love brubeck's jazz.
I'd died for Dave.
Well this is disappointing. The US was and is the first agent of disorder and death around the world. Unfortunately jazz can do nothing against the US war machine. At least Brubeck could have been more subtile and said Stalinism instead of Communism.
He was a great pianist but he definitely fell victim to western propaganda
Commies mad in the comments…..
Jazz in Support of Communism!
Long Live The Revolution!
The ignorance in this thread would be astonishing, but sadly it’s to be expected. U.S. Americans you have to be the most self-congratulatory and least self-aware nation on Earth. “Wurr livin een tha laynd uv tha froiy!!”. Yeah, yeah 🤦♂️
Who is going to send jazz artists to America when the communists have completely taken control?
Gommunism bad
A confirmation of what I've always intuitively felt about Brubeck: a white-bread, East Coast, elitist phony. A political Pawn and artistic lightweight.
What's with the high-school-sounding sax player as a soundtrack? 🤔🤔
Why are there so many replies to other comments as their own comments?
I love Jazz and Freedom. RIP Dave.
so sad to see how a master of jazz and great musician participates in such blatant and disguting anti-communist propaganda
Guess I like Dave Brubeck less now. The music is still good though
this sucks
jazz has always been the music of the people you visionless sheep
as a hardcore communist and professional jazz musician I do not approve
Brubeck was also fighting racism at home with jazz, although it wasn’t mentioned at the time. His group would play in places that didn’t like integrated groups, but he would refuse if they wouldn’t let them play with Wright.
Charles Mingus was a communist you dickheads
Globalización

Dave Brubeck, the only person I know of who died the day before his birthday Born Dec. 6th 1920, Died December 5th, 2012
Great interviews on this channel, but the track behind this one is reprehensible. Cringe worthy at best
Should be fighting authoritarianism with jazz.
The amount of people who are willing to downplay or deny the atrocities of Communism and Socialism is horrific.
This comment section is in desperate need of a Pinochet
WOW AWESOME
People are talking about communism and America being great. Don't get me wrong he is very interesting but jazz is music, a beautiful form of music – not where conflict and over patriotism takes place – the point he's making is the way jazz has a wonderful effect on the most sad people and is taken away most cruelly by the nastiest people. Let's just stick to the music here and not go on about the 3 things we want to escape by listening to jazz: politics, realism and arguments.
what a racist ass stupid ass dude
beautiful art – Horrible man,. Classic.
This is exactly why I hate communism and love jazz.
A white rich american man talking about how bad communism is
The fact is that communism is ultimately a system without incentive, thereby it is doomed to fail. People want to be rewarded in direct proportion to their work. Its as simple as that. Not saying that it doesn't have it's positively if its effectively integrated with capitalism (free healthcare, people not starving) but pure communism, like all absolute ideologies is bound to fail… and has.
so many socialist/communist apologist on here, supporting communism using an iPhone, fucking idiots
I read the Biography and the Interviews of Dave Brubeck, he was always a person doing his best to make cultural exchange possible and he was always trying to find the peaceful solution for the problems he was confronted with. To say that he is fighting communism or whatever is deforming his memento by a great deal and in a realy ugly way.
you should read or listen to the interview until the end und not just stop there.
I reported the video for that. Because it would be realy sad to keep that "warriorimage" attached to this peaceful, good person.
Another nationalist, Imperialist, anti-working-class schmuck who wouldn't distinguish between stalinism and socialism. He should have played for Latin American capitalist dictatorships too. Those were 'our guys', after all.
Someone commented below that communists were among the early lovers of jazz — when a racist U.S. system almost completely shut out the black working-class in every way. So true.
But what does truth matter to an anti-communist schmuck, eh? What a waste.
Sounds like a good guy, but just another pawn in the west_vs_east culture struggle, between two super states and the networks of interests which they served.
Kind of like a canary bird singing its free form song in the twilight, where day and night struggle against each other.
What a great American
Communism is for kids who don't know the world yet.
Communists were among the first jazz fans beyond the original jazz communities. They saw African-americans as equals to all other americans . U.S,capitalists were
too busy making money from south African Apartheid and other cruelly racialist systems . The U.S.assaulted anyone in the (ex)european colonies struggling for freedom and autonomy. Meanwhile the dollar rich continue to assault anyone who won't bow down to their greedy arrogance,at home or abroad.
Jazz comes from the extraordinary cross-fertilisation of cultures and ethnicities
of the U.S. In jazz , all are welcome ,all are equal. THAT's the socialist ideal .
