Please listen to THE Quartet with Paul Desmond, Gene Wright and JOE MORELLO on drums. Tip: live at Carnegie Hall 1963. That's it.

Best Damn song i've heard him perform!

Quite a composition... Well played, with everything timed to perfection, and frankly, astonishing that Dave Brubeck shows no strain through this piece, though can look around with open eyes. This to me is one of lifes gifts that only the best possess when it comes to pieces like these!

That's right... one of Bert's sons.

You have aroused my curiosity,obviously you are a relative, a son maybe.I left England in 1955 but was a frequenter of the London jazz clubs since then I have seen just about anyone of fame or talent in the jazz field.I even saw one of the greatest trumpet players ever,Clifford Brown,a week before he died in a car accident.

Hi there... yes, it's Bert Courtley who was married Kathy (not Cathy) Stobart.

Great clip, especially Bert Courtley - great player!

Hi fella (assuming so but apologies if not...). Yep, Bert... my late father and a hell of a player. Pete (Courtley)

How awesome is this! Seems like an amalgam of jazz, bee bop, country and genius. This, surely, was way ahead of its time?

God Damn, this is an amazing clip of Brubeck! Thanks, Mate!
