Unfortunately, the choice was made for me this week. Back in the dim and distant past, if a member of my generation had only one jazz album, the odds were 10 to 1 it was Take Five, The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s masterpiece. Of course, Take Five is the signature piece from the album, but they’re all great, including this one, Blue Rondo a la Turk. And hey, check out these special effects, state of the art circa 1962.
I just have to reprise this feel good video that I believe I posted once before. I love the look of delight in Brubeck’s face as the young violinist joins in the fun.
