And for once, there is a drum solo that doesn't cause moans and groans. As my college roommate would say - "tasty!"

This is a classic song, but it is very overplayed on RP.  There is so much more great jazz that should be played instead, Miles, Coltrane, Charlie Parker, or even other Brubek songs.  I think you must play this at least once a day, or it seems that I hear it way too much.

I agree, stop doing the pop radio station thing  and play something differnt from his collection, perhaps Un square square dance

Dave and his guys played at my high school back in 1972
There were about a hundred people in the audience.I thought he was great.My friend said...."we better get high"

RIP Dave.  Passed away 1 day shy of his 92nd birthday.  I had the pleasure of seeing him at the Ottawa Jazz Festival at 88 years young.  Still tore up the keys - what a show!

Oddly, I was discussing Dave's passing with a colleague, returned to RP and hit the PSD button.  This is what came up.  Goosebumps.

One of my biggest regrets after many years of seeing just about everyone live, was missing out on just one DBQ show.  Glad you got to see him, my friend, thanks for sharing your memories!

I grew up on his music (thanks mom & dad) and Paul Desmond is the primary reason I became a sax player. RIP Dave. Your music is such a legacy.

Hearing my son play this on sax at a school concert in 5th grade was one of the memorable musical moments of my life. And hearing Dave play this at Newport was not so shabby, either.  The song will live on.

My introduction to a lifelong love of Jazz at the tender age of 13. Thanks Dave, Paul, Joe and Eugene and thanks to friend Martin who had somehow managed to obtain 2 copies of the album and gave me the spare:-)

I agree with the general sentiment - Take Five is a brilliant and always welcomed tune. But this whole album is groundbreaking - I think it is still the biggest selling jazz album ever - with every track worthy of airplay. Blue Rhondo a la Turk, etc. Spread out!
