About This Song
About "Blues in the Dark (with Jimmy Rushing)" by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Rushing's voice cuts through 'Blues in the Dark' like a match struck in a black room—raw, illuminating, and a little dangerous. Brubeck's quartet keeps the shadows close, the piano a cool counterpoint to Rushing's heated lament. It's blues that simmers rather than shouts, all the more potent for its restraint.
