About This Song
About "What Is This Thing Called Love (Album Version)" by Dave Brubeck
Brubeck reimagines Cole Porter's lament with cool, angular wit, the piano's block chords slicing through the melody's romantic ache. There's a tension between swing and sobriety—the tune's yearning heart beating beneath a surface of urbane detachment, as if love is a puzzle best solved with a smirk.
