I can play this over and over and never tire of his music.

Who recalls the great Dave Brubeck?

Dave honed his music in San Francisco.

Enjoy his Music today and let your heart not be troubled.

I had an original vinyl recording of his album. My daughter liberated it from my collection.

The entire album is excellent.

Blue Rondo a la Turk is another great piece.

Take Five is the only song on the album not composed by Brubeck himself.

I too had an original Take 5 Vinyl Album by his band.

I posted a video explaining the creation of Take Five.

Brubeck played around a lot with various time signatures.

A classic tune, most noteworthy for several reasons. One is that Brubeck's sax player Paul Desmond is the one who actually wrote Take Five. The other, more interesting still, is that the reason it's named Take Five is because it is written in 5/4 time - a relatively rare time signature for music. Next time you listen, see if you can count 5 beats per measure throughout. It'll help you savor it even more.

Blue Rondo a la Turk is in 9/8 time.

"Money" by Pink Floyd is in 7/4.
Lots of music can be found in unusual time signatures - but not when compared with the tsunami of conventional 2/4 and 4/4 tunes. They probably outnumber odd time signatures more than 1,000 to 1.

I have always liked music I could not tap my feet to.

Take Five is amazingly accessible - but you can tap your feet to it. You just have to tap 1,2,3,4,5 1,2,3,4,5 1,2,3,4,5 with an emphasis on the 1.

Since I both brought this topic up, myself having once owned Brubeck Take Five as a Vinyl of course I know why it is so famous.

As I said, I can listen to Take Five all day long.

Prior to Dave Brubeck who is the subject here, that is why I brought the former Band leader up. Even Pink Floyd copied the Brubeck ideas as you point out.

I was introduced to Dave Brubeck in high school by one of my Trumpet playing pals. He explained to me that Brubeck was a very inventive Band leader.

No I really do not know him or his works. So I found videos of his presentation called powerhouse.

Tonight is the first time I heard of him.

One of my favorite Brubeck songs is his interpretation of the song Laura

Then you haven't watched any cartoons from about the 1940s through today.
