Believe it or not, I used to DJ at a college radio station with a mostly-jazz format. Take 5 was one of my favorites.

Such a loss. I’ve enjoyed Brubeck’s music my entire life. He was blessed with a full life.

DB was a genius. He had a long and wonderful life.
Thanks for the music....

Brubeck, among his many other greats, recorded one of the greatest tv show themesongs of all time. Here’s the theme from the excellent (if sadly short-lived) show Mr. Broadway:

His drummer, the late Joe Morello was my drum teacher. RIP Mr. Brubeck.

All I ever new about him was a couple of lines in Donald Fagen's
"New Frontier":
I hear you're mad about Brubeck
I like your eyes, I like him too
He's an artist, a pioneer
We've got to have some music on the new frontier
I did see another familiar title of his on Youtube - "Take the A-train" is the first song on the Rollong Stones' Still Life live album - it was playing over the sound system before the band was introduced, and they included it on the track listing for the album.
It seems like the people who made the music I listened to listened to Brubeck. If I was 20 years older I might have been a fan.

You quoted the very lines from Donald Fagen I was going to.
When I did my jazz show on WVGS one of the few vocals I played was Al Jarreau's version of Blue Rondo A La Turk

Farewell, Mr. Brubeck. You have left behind some great stuff to remember you by.

Take Five was absolutely terrific. A true work of genius. But the rest of Dave’s work? Notably forgettable. I predict that fifty years from now, nobody will remember it — while T5 will still be considered one of the greatest jazz pieces of all time. R. I. P.
