What's this crap about Star Wars Day? "May the Fourth Be With You", really. I don't think so. Dave fucking Brubeck owns this day. "Take Five" utilizes a 5/4 time signature, and has since 1959. I don't know how 5/4 became Dave Brubeck Day. For all I know it could have been a couple jazz stoners just waking from their extended 4/20 bliss. Doesn't matter. Here it's Brubeck day. Fuck that franchise nonsense.
Here's the original by the Dave Brubeck Quartet and a couple covers. The one by Carmen McRae is a vocal version (who knew?) and she's backed on it by Brubeck's mob. The other version is by Jimmy Johnson, a blues dude, but you can almost hear a surf version if there was some reverb on it. If only.
