Sad news. I was a major fan of Dave Brubeck since I was a kid.

Did anyone see the PBS special, "Dave Brubeck and Sons" on PBS sometime around '77-'78? Dave made a comment there between numbers where he said something like...

We need love. Love if far more powerful than anger.

Of course, he put it far more eloquently than that. Looked for it on YouTube but couldn't find it.

I remember a PBS special I saw in the early 80's that featured Dave among other jazz musicians/composers. But not the one you mentioned. I''ll keep an eye out for it, it would be cool to view that now. Dave was prominent at a good time in our history when a lot of musicians were also philosophical.

Awesome music, may he rest in peace...

What a pisser. One of my HS teachers used to have a DB song playing every day as you entered the room. My favorite was, and still is, Take Five.

RIP Mr. B

Take 5 is probably the best 5/4 time signature piece ever written, and recorded. What a loss!

Take Five is cool, it's a tune that I like to whistle.
But this tune is more of a favorite for me.
Delightful and subtly complex. Perfect.

Thanks Dave! Sigh. :sadwave:

[W1GUH]

Take Five is one of those catchy tunes that etches itself into your brain, it's playing now without electronics. Musicians come and go but music is forever.....

And this ! Man this is it. I can see my old reel to reel tape rollin.

Not that I disagree with you at all but I do wonder how many other pieces written in 5/4 time have been recorded.
