The Dave Brubeck Quartet's unique sound and style continue to inspire generations of musicians.

Pianist, band leader, and composer Dave Brubeck was born in California in 1920 and was raised on his family's cattle ranch near Sacramento. He served under General George Patton in World War II and studied music at Mills College with French composer Darius Milhaud on the G.I.

"Take Five" was first recorded in 1959 and became a sleeper hit in 1961. It is the biggest-selling jazz song of all time and is in the Grammy Hall of Fame

I started as a self-taught rock drummer in a 60s garage band, but hearing this song changed my life. Joe Morello’s light, flowing, and powerful style inspired me. I’m still practicing, and his perfection and modesty remain unmatched. Rest in peace, Joe—you live on in my heart.
