A great music Giant has sadly left us.
Brubeck and Desmond were just once in a lifetime.dtr Architect
Jazz trumpet and flugel -
DB has joined the great eternal jazz combo, but they will probably kick him out cuz he keeps pushing the beat to 5.
A little Brubeck Trivia anyone. . . Anybody know of any other Jazz standard done in 5?
I don't know and now I am too laid back to google it.

It's OK David, that's what we're here for!

You gotta press that link! -
5/4 time is the question.
Only one I have seen or played.
HMMMMM? -
very cool -

Indeed, a sad loss.
In a way it's a shame that Take 5 became such a signature tune for him - on the radio here that's about the only tune of his that has been played as a tribute. It would have been nice to hear more from his many decades of composition.Re: 5/4 time signature.
I can't help thinking of the Mission Impossible theme tune. The original was in 5/4 time, yet when they did the recent 'next generation' films it was 'dumbed down' into 4/4 - couldn't decide whether it was considered too 'avant-guard' for radio airplay or whether the producer just couldn't find the 'time signature' setting in his music software!
