The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five
5:27 for May 27th
Undoubtedly one of the greatest pieces in jazz history.
While reading the wikipedia article, I was awed by this sentence:
“Upon his death in 1977, Desmond [the songwriter] left the rights to royalties for performances and compositions, including “Take Five”, to the American Red Cross, which has since received combined royalties of approximately $100,000 per year.”
That’s a lot of money. Every year. What an incredibly selfless and generous gesture.

One of my introductions to jazz. Great for people who want to explore jazz but aren’t sure where to begin.

1) That is a pretty awesome story. 2) I get to see Dave Brubeck perform (at Ravinia! yay!) for the third time this summer. HE IS SO OLD. AND HE STILL ROCKS THE PIANO HARDER THAN I CAN. IT IS INCREDIBLE.
