I Hear You're Mad About Brubeck
-
The thing you can say about Dave Brubeck, who died at 91, is that there are very few musicians who can claim a song that everyone, but everyone knows and likes. "Take Five" (which he didn't write, by the way, but his longtime alto sax player Paul Desmond did) is one of those songs. The key, of course, is the 5/4 time signature. Still awesome 53 years later.
