I loved the unusual timing of Take 5, so typical of Dave Brubeck.
He would have been 92 tomorrow.
RIP

Take 5 is difficult and unusual to play as it is in 5/4 time...5 beats to the bar and drummers in particular can find it hard as its not an even number to get the accents on.
I admired Dave Brubeck and particularly liked Paul Desmond on sax.
RIP Dave.

Take 5 must be one of the "classic pops" which is instantly recognised by a good proportion of people.
What would others be (probably excluding The Beatles whose output is universally recognised).
