...Today's Dave Brubeck's birthday, dude's 83 and though some might be salty that he made the cover of Time Magazine before Duke Ellington did, you can't deny that he and his Quartet (below) cut one of the phattest jazz LP's of all time: Time Out which not only holds the ground-breaking track "Take five" but two more of my hard-bop faves "Everybody's Jumping" ,"Blue Rhondo A La Turk", oh yeah, and "Three to Get Ready" is a funky-fresh track too, the whole set is a keeper by all means-- this very LP is probably why a whole heap of us are here right now...if your parents were cool like that back in the day...
