[Instrumental]




Overall Meaning

As the lyrics are instrumental and contain no words, one way to interpret the meaning is through the music itself. "Three to Get Ready" is a jazz instrumental piece that is playful and dynamic in its composition. The song has a lively and upbeat rhythm, featuring intricate and syncopated melodies from each instrument in the quartet. The piano, drums, bass and saxophone all come together to create a seamless and harmonious sound that is both complex and accessible.


The song's title suggests a sense of anticipation or preparation, which is reflected in the music. The quartet plays with a sense of urgency, conveying the feeling that something exciting is about to happen. The title also references the idea of a group coming together to accomplish something, as implied in the phrase "two's company, three's a crowd." It may signify a sense of camaraderie and collaboration, as each instrument works in tandem to create a cohesive and dynamic sound.

When I was in high school Brubeck came to play for one of our school assemblies. We had them on Friday afternoons. I think I was in 9th or 10th grade, so 1968 or 69. Roberta Flack played at another one. All the kids in the gymnasium listening to fab music. It was a great school. I've never been happier.

They knew what was good for kids. They were educating leaders.

Just heard the sad news of Dave Brubeck's passing. It's hard to find the right words at this point ... Had the chance to meet him in person many years ago after a concert in Austria and found that, while being one of the greatest Jazz musicians and composers ever, he was very humble and down to earth. A most memorable person - he sure was class, not just as an artist. RIP, Mr. Brubeck, you will be missed. Still, through your music, you will live on forever. Thanks, Dave!
