Something I learned today

Dave Brubeck's Take Five got its name from the fact that it was written in 5/4 time.

Never knew or heard that before today.

Paul Desmond was the primary composer of Take 5. Recorded by the Brubeck Quartet in..... '53?

Close. '59. Released in '61. My LP is so worn that I think that Santa is going to bring me a CD of it in my stocking. I remember muttering about a fresh copy of Kind of Blue too.

Another fun fact: Desmond thought it was a throw away song. Joked that he would spend all of his share of the royalties on a new electric shaver.

Classic stuff. Time Further Out is a worthy follow-up album, too.

And the rest is history! It's a tune that will last forever. A definitive classic.

Yes, and thankfully I was blessed with perfect timing and I can play along to this. I say blessing because it is a blessing.
