April is Jazz Appreciation Month!
In the spirit of celebrating Jazz Appreciation month and recognizing Jazz as music that originated in the United States, I'd like to share one of my favorite pieces, "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. It has a time signature that is a bit unusual in that it has five beats per measure (5/4), rather than the more standard four beats (4/4). Dave Brubeck (1920-2012) worked hard as a musician and educator to promote cultural diplomacy around the world through his music. I hope you enjoy this piece, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHdU5sHigYQ#t=302
