Jazz great Dave Brubeck is 91 today

Wanna feel old? Tom Hulce is 58. Happiest of birthdays to both.

Take Five
• who and who?

• [quote]who and who? R1 is a pencil-armed fashionista who thinks Britney Spears is really old.

• Makes me feel young, actually. I think Brubeck was the first jazz I ever heard, even before hearing Guaraldi on the Peanuts specials.

• But Tom Hulce almost 60. Eeyah, he was that kid in Amadeus.

• For the uninformed... watch and learn

• I remember feeling completely mesmerized the first time I heard his Time Out album. To this day "Blue Rondo A La Turk" remains my favorite jazz song ever.

• Time Out, which includes Take Five, is Jazz 101 - and for very good reason.

• Time Out is truly that most overused of words: a classic. I've heard it thousands of times but it always sounds new.

• Holy Jesus, this is Hulce last year.

• Brubeck: too many notes.

• And he's dead today 12/5/12.

• Actually the fact that Tom Hulce is older than me makes me feel relatively young. Thank you.

• Aw, he died just before his birthday!

• I just opened this thread then went to the kitchen for a drink and heard on BBC radio that Brubeck died on the eve of his 92nd birthday.
