3. Thanks for posting.

Always preferred the simple, but subtle purity on display. Looking at a pear shaped flagon with no adornments reveals the talents of a silversmith
unhidden with repousse.
Top notch piece. Brubeck knew the ivories and trusted his team. He played second fiddle to the sax to keep it going and then just displayed why he could carry the load.

4. Excellent Choice

My dad loved Brubeck, so i started hearing Take 5 when i was 4 or 5 years old.
I'm also fond of Blue Rondo A La Turk

AND notice the relationship?

6. Yeah, It's Pretty Obvious

The only obvious difference is the use of the 9/8 time signature.
More subtle is the fact that Dave & Paul are almost exclisively playing in dorian& locrian mode, creating a middle eastern feel to the melody line & solos.
The rondo form makes it pretty easy to distinguish, no matter the actual notes chosen.

7. Always liked this tune

It used to be played as the theme song Playboy After Dark which was on Chicago tee vee. I always associated it with driving Lake Shore Drive.
