Yes. We listened to Take Five in his honour last night. Great man.

I felt this loss as as a huge change in the musical world. I had no idea I felt that way...until he died. Play all of Time Out in his honor folks, and in honor of that amazing quartet of players. They changed the whole landscape of jazz and popular musics.

There was a story Brubeck told when he came to play with the orchestra I was performing with in the 1980s. He was on tour with Duke Ellington sometime in the 1950s, and Ellington walked into Brubeck's hotel room with a copy of the Time magazine issue that had Brubeck on the cover. Brubeck was embarrassed because he revered Ellington and his music, and thought that Ellington should have been the first jazz musician to make the cover of Time.
He was a real class act, and could lay back on piano like few I've ever heard.

I liked the way he would just show up locally and play a few. You know, unannounced. Loved it.

Man, what a life he must have had.

When I was a kid my mom and dad took me to see him live here in Atlanta. It was one of the last concerts the original quartet ever played because Paul Desmond died a few months later. I was probably 8 years old. I have never forgotten the experience.
