Dave Brubeck - Take Five (1959)

Dave Brubeck - Take Five, SACD

   OK so who hasn't heard this jazz masterpiece on the planet ?   IMHO "Take Five" is one of the most significant jazz albums of all time and would rank right up there on my desert island picks.

    My mom had a vinyl copy of this album waaaaaaay back when and I remember listening to this with her and having her try to explain the wild timing Brubeck utilized on this album.  "Blue Rondo a la Turk"
