Dave Brubeck is one of the great post-bop jazz innovators of the 1950s, whose use of irregular time signatures, a restrained, classical-influenced approach to the piano, and exceptional composing skills have allowed him to make bold musical statements while remaining immensely popular around the world. His signature "Take Five," a highly accessible tune in 5/4 time composed by the saxophonist Paul Desmond, remains one of the most well known pieces in the jazz canon.
