Dave Brubeck – Unsquare Dance
An evening pause: From a television performance sometime probably in the early 1960s. Unfortunately, the show and the dancers are unknown.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
>From the comment section at YouTube:
(–can’t vouch for the accuracy)
“Probably this pair is the Hugh Lambert Dancers, who performed Unsquare Dance twice in 1962 for the Ed Sullivan TV show. Since the Dave Brubeck quartet isn’t shown, this is probably the 11 November 1962 show (the band was on stage during the June 17 1962 performance).
FWIW, Hugh ended up marrying Frank Sinatra’s daughter, Nancy.”
I’d kind of like to hear the beatnik commentary on this!
