Possibly the very first music I ever remember consciously hearing. My old man played him at home and would take me to the bar with him and give me coins to play music on the juke box and play pinball. I always played Take Five an Blue Rondo ala Turk. It gave me a thrill to shake the hand of Dave and his bassist Jack Six in 1990.

Love Brubeck.
My dad use to play at the Red Onion in Aspen BITD and had the opportunity to play with Brubeck a few times, as well as Oscar Peterson and several other greats.
Some of my earliest memories are of his music, so you can imagine my joy when my eldest daughter back about the time she was 13 came home from school and said, "Hey dad listen to what I just learned." and proceeded to play on her Sax an fine rendition of Take Five.
cool stuff

Watching them is too weird. They look like four partners in an accounting firm. Listening with eyes closed, then opening them and looking is bizarre.
But those guys were beyond good. It was cool to put them down back then, because they weren't black enough to be playing that music, but they played it as well as anybody.
And in terms of understanding rhythm and complex time signatures, maybe better than anybody.

That is 32 minutes that will be added to my life ! ! !
Thanks so much John for bringing that to the surface.
I've put up with tinnitus for years while loving music and have to say that the primitive modulation of this recording is superior to anything modern. I enjoyed fully the piano music without battling a ringing in my ears.
Thanks, man !

Nice music but I generally can't listen to it. Just a personal taste thing but brings to mind some dude walking in manhattan waiting for the light to turn green before crossing the road. Why?
;)
edit. I know, because he's a west coaster...ba dump bump.

I'm just a stupid oldschool rocker/metalhead throwback from the 80's, but that is great John!! Youtube can be such a heaven or hell experience.

The drum solo by Joe Morello at the end kicks ass.

I played trumpet in Brubeck's first band. Paul Ryan played the piccolo with us.
Take Five, Take Ten, Take it to the limit one more time
My sister's boyfriend had a bunch of Brubeck records, but I really never got too far beyond Take Five.
He was competing with:

zb,
I was in his platoon, Patton's 3rd Army (26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division) in WWII. He was in a fox hole with me until they yanked him to play a Red Cross Show.
