"Take Five" - Dave Brubeck Quartet

by Max on Fri 25 Jul 2008 12:13 PM PDT | Permanent Link

I was first exposed to this 1959 Dave Brubeck Quartet piece at a fairly young age, because - you guessed it - Dad had it. Or maybe it was my brother? I can't remember which.

Later on, I would play it in my school's jazz band, either junior high or high school, I can't remember which.

Damn, is my memory fading that badly? I'm old. Where the hell did I put my shoes?

Introduction

Some of my online cohorts at the Songfight community decided to create blogs to highlight songs they like. I am now doing it as well, because I am a total lemming.

Songfight is a weekly songwriting competition based on titles provided by the site's administrators. I post there under the handle "Albatross." Go check it out. It's a gas.
