Dave Brubeck is 90 today. Happy Birthday, Dave!

And may that new pacemaker do its job for many more years.


And, now this (and a surprise for those who expected Take Five):

"Unsquare Dance" is the follow-up to "Take Five." "Take Five" is in 5/4 so Brubeck thought he would follow it up with another piece with a compound time signature, this time 7/4.

Thanks, Yitzchak, it makes sense when you listen to the two in succession.

Dave Brubeck is 90, Wow! I have to confess I thought he had gone on to the Great Jazz Jam in the Sky!. My Dad is a great Brubeck fan and I grew up listening to his records. He will be glad to hear about this. Thanks Snoopy and Yitzchak Goodman for this post, the video and for the  info about  the Unsquare Dance.

Nope, the old man is still kicking, may he kick for many years to come. Not many like him around.
