I saw him play a couple of times. Wonderful!

Rest in peace, Dave.

Heaven just got a little jazzier. :^( He and Paul Desmond haven't jammed since the mid '70s.

RIP Mr.Brubeck.

Don’t listen to many instrumentals but recognized Take Five with the first few notes.

Spelling: That would be Brubeck, NOT Bruebeck. Sorry ‘bout that. I have bandages on my fingers....cats. Makes typing a bit of a challenge.

I'm not a huge jazz guy. When I saw the headline, I was amazed that he was still alive. I mean "Sing, Sing, Sing" came out in 1936, right? Then I slap myself in the head and realize I'm thinking of Benny Goodman.

I actually own "Time Out" -- I like Brubeck's stuff and I'm embarassed I confused him with another jazz great.

RIP

Went to school with his son, Matthew. He came to the school one day unannounced to play with Matthew and his older brothers. Made me a jazz lover on the spot.
RIP, Dave.

One of my all-time favorite Brubeck recordings -- a live performance with the Dave Brubeck Quartet doing an extended version of one of his greatest hits.

Alto sax player Paul Desmond displays his witty brilliance on an extended blues solo, and Drummer Joe Morello turns in an amazing performance.

Blue Rondo a la Turk (concert performance)

Yes, ‘Take Five’ was his signature song but I always liked ‘Blue Rondo A La Turk’ as opposed to ‘Take Five’.

A sad loss of a talent that defined a genre of music. RIP Mr. Brubeck with out thanks.

For those who are’t jazz fans, just go on Youtube and play anything from “Dave Brubecks Christmas”, you will be rewarded.

I’ve had “Take Five” as my ringtone for quite a while now. Sometimes I groove a little before I answer.

I thought Dave was going to live on long enough to accompany the Last Trump - syncopated Hebrew Jazz in a minor key.

It would have confounded anyone but true believers.

God Bless you Dave
