Dave Brubeck: Theme from "Mr Broadway" and Winter Ballad
Two from Jazz Impressions of New York. The first was the theme song to an evidently short lived TV series called "Mr Broadway." Below you can see the opening credits, and you won't want to miss the sponsorship ad.
A croquet set?
And the second, "Winter Ballad," has just the right touch of menthol.
The players:
Dave Brubeck, piano
Paul Desmond, alto sax
Gene Wright, bass
Joe Morello, drums

Nice one. I believe this kind of jam is what is known in record nerd parlance as a "titty-shaker". Interesting that the guitar in the video clip isn't in the mp3.
Watching that ad reminds you what a before-and-after moment there was with advertising in the late '60s. See this for further details.
that video makes we wanna start smokin' again just to oppose that boring currently ruling politically correct zeitgeist, that wants to abolish the liberty to behave unreasonably and injuriously to ones health and which makes the censors in the tv stations cut out smoking or drinking scenes from older movies or TV shows to protect us all from the mean devil of nicotine and booze.
Even though Croquet has probably never been the most hip sparetime occupation (even in the tttttts)
Mr broadway seems 2 be so much cooler than all those helplessely square CSI Investigators that have contaminated the telly nowadays.
And the soundtrack is cool too, Mr Dupre. Thanx a lot! ano 2
