Dave Brubeck, Jazz Great, Dies at Age 91

Share

Dave Brubeck passed away today. He was 91. The great jazz legend, a regular at Elaine’s whom I got to meet a few times, was most famous for his recording of “Take Five,” written by Paul Desmond. But he had hundreds of his own compositions, and was probably as influential as Miles Davis, John Coltrane or a half dozen other jazz pioneers. A lovely guy, a great life, and an amazing legacy. RIP
