We played "Take Five" in high school band. The bassoon and percussion parts were so cool. <sniff>

I have seriously got to get to work expanding my jazz collection, which right now sits at one lowly CD.

I do have the Take Five CD in my car... I need to break it out. Ken Burns steered me right with his Jazz documentary.

I did not realize he was still alive.

And the use of 'was' as in past tense, he is a late jazz musician.
