New Dave Brubeck Octet Video

on By

So one of the many projects I am trying to find time for this school year is putting the Brubeck Octet handwritten original parts in to Sibelius for the new Brubeck archive in Wilton, CT. I made a video about the process, enjoy!

Digging in to the Brubeck Octets

Please subscribe to the channel if you get a chance. This video probably took about 8 hours to make, and I’d like to make them even more involved, but it would be nice to hear that people watched them! Drop a comment here or on Youtube. You can also donate as I am doing this particular project for free, for myself and academia. http://www.paypal.me/jonpdelucia or Venmo to @jon-delucia. Thanks and stay tuned!
