DAVE BRUBECK - TAKE FIVE

David Warren Brubeck was an American jazz musician and arranger, and one of the premier examples of cool jazz. A portion of his pieces have become jazz standards, including "In Your Own Sweet Way" and "The Duke". Brubeck's style went from refined to manic, reflecting both - his mother's traditional training and his own improvisational abilities. His music utilized strange time signatures as well as superimposing differentiating rhythms, meters, and tones.
