Jazz Pianist Dave Brubeck Had Died at the Age of 91

Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck, whose novel rhythms, classical structures and an unforgettable sound that made him a towering figure in modern jazz, has died. He was 91. His Dave Brubeck Quartet put out one of the best selling jazz songs of all time: "Take Five," composed by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. Like many of the group's works, it had an unusual beat -- 5/4 time as opposed to the usual 4/4.
