About This Song
About "Ain't Misbehavin' (with Jimmy Rushing) (Album Version)" by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Rushing and Brubeck tackle 'Ain't Misbehavin'' with a wink and a swagger, turning the standard into a sly game of cat and mouse. The quartet's crisp swing provides a polished floor for Rushing's earthy growl. It's restraint versus revelry, and the tension is deliciously unresolved.
