he did some great things for the music. I bet take 5 was in most peoples record collection in the late 50s and 60s

lets post some brubeck work from you tube to commemorate his life

I am a fan of desmonds playing

Dave Brubeck - Take The 'A' Train - 1966 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbUklDXdH2o)

Dave Brubeck Quartet - In Your Own Sweet Way (Belgium 1964) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aHGMDf42lw)

Lived a long life. Thanks for all the great music. RIP

Blue Rondo A La Turk - Dave Brubeck - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc34Uj8wlmE)

Always enjoyed Paul Desmond with him.



Dave Brubeck Quartet - St. Louis Blues (Belgium 1964) - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJzHrttrzB0)

Paul Desmond got the most amazing tone ever out of an alto sax. He died way too young. He actually wrote Take Five, not Brubeck.

RIP
Loss of a great talent.
Big fan of Joe Morello !
The guy commonly played in 1 time with the right hand & a completely different time with the left. Human brains are not naturally trained to do than.
