I listened to the latest Charlap & The Washingtons record after you wrote about it (thanks!) - their rendition of your own sweet way is so great!
The two Brubeck standards are great.. I had the chance to attend his Kennedy Center Honors (at which Charlap played with Christian McBride and Jon Faddis) .. I was a college clown and didn’t go. Dave was a great musician and a kind man
Really enjoyed this post! I recently listened to Brubeck's March 23, 1984 appearance on Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz, and Brubeck says, "I wrote ['In Your Own Sweet Way'] two different ways," and, "the first time I actually put it down was for Miles Davis" - it's in the last minute of this conversation track: https://youtu.be/YNe-8QB7yak?si=fygnhRxq5gbIOsf6&t=351
The interview only addresses the melody note in bar 8, over B-flat. Is it F or E? It's telling that Bru plays dominant under E, not lydian, another subtle tell that he thinks the song is in E-flat!
Nothing short of brilliant.
Thanks Loren!!
Great stuff Ethan!
Thank you!

I've been thinking about writing this post for about four years, the (excellent) Charlap rendition is what motivated to finally get it done
