Dave Brubeck passed away last week. Brubeck was always
kind of an outsider in the jazz world althought
Chick Corea
thinks of him as one of the early fusion pioneers with the
Dave Brubeck's Quartet 1959 offering "Time Out". Indeed a
lot of cross-over genres and influences were happening on
that album. He was surely underrated and will remain best
known for the epic "Take Five". An outstanding composer in
his own right however that tune was written by sax player
Paul Desmond.
