  • What a legend!

  • I think he has given credit to Desmond for the song in another interview.

  • My admiration for Dave Brubeck as a composer and a musician is without limits, ever since I heard Take Five when it came out back in the sixties, over when he came to play in our country well in his eighties, up to today. Yet I am a bit disappointed that he did not give full credit to Paul Desmond for his (= Paul's!) wonderful composition "Take Five". The master should have shown "grandeur" and admitted that the composer of this piece was his sax playing peer and genius in his own right!

  • Raised as a cowboy?...

    Your excellent Dave Brubeck :-)

    How interesting to hear his natural and varied influences for music..

    May you live forever

  • Raised as a cowboy?...

    Your excellent Dave Brubeck :-)

  • All interviews of great artists should be like this. Simple, straight on head shot; no faux studio backdrop or studio lighting; no moving "vertigo" camera (done too much today) and most importantly, no interruptions (a la Charlie Rose). Thank you Dave Brubeck!

  • Man, I live about three blocks from Bobby Militello's restaurant, why was I not there that night!?!!

  • @LetzBeaFranque He did, but Dave put it together. Desmond wrote a few melodies and brought them to Dave. Dave liked two of them and told him to make one of them the bridge. Hence, the birth of "Take Five".

  • @MrHopeTelevision What do you mean by that? Maybe I misunderstand your intent, but that sounded like kind of a jerky thing to write.

  • Thought Desmond wrote this?
