Talk:Dave Brubeck

Contradictions on location of death
This article has Brubeck dying in two different towns. (1) At his home in Wilton, CT; and (2) on the way to the doctor in Norwalk, CT. The cites to the Wilton location are (1) a recordnet.com article about the death of his wife Iola (not Dave); and (2) to a preview of a book, on Google books, no page of which that is now displayed states that he died in Wilton. I guess someone could look up the hard copy of the book, but the page cite is listed as pp. 393-___. Page 393 can be viewed on Google and the fact it's cited for (Brubeck's death and location) is not to be found on that page. The book isn't even about Brubeck, or Connecticut, or the time when Brubeck died. It's called Golden Dreams: California in an Age of Abundance, 1950-1963.

Dave Brubeck Five
This article mentions the Dave Brubeck Quartet, but should mention them in the earlier sections of the article. Also, weren't the Dave Brubeck Quartet at one time known as the Dave Brubeck Five, because they at one time had five members? Vorbee (talk) 19:55, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

GA?
I don't think this has much chance of passing a GA review in its current state. There are multiple unsourced paragraphs; the lead doesn't summarise the body; there's little (sourced) on his playing style or compositional style; and the final 44 years of his career are covered in 5 sentences. There's s a lot of work required. EddieHugh (talk) 17:33, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
