The great jazz legend and pianist Dave Brubeck died on December 5, just a day short of his ninety first birthday.Like many, I first heard Dave Brubeck and Take Five late in the 1950's and then in the 1960's delighted in actually meeting Dave Brubeck or Mr Brubeck as I first called him then, along with Joe Morello, Eugine Wright and Paul Desmond.
I met them before and again after they played a concert in New Zealand's Wellington Town Hall.
Their music has been with me ever since
and today I've been reminded of a wonderful memory.
Thankyou Mr Brubeck. Take Five...
