The Dave Brubeck Quartet was a modern jazz group formed in 1951, with Joe Morello on drums, Eugene Wright on bass, and Paul Desmond on saxophone. They are known for their use of odd time signatures, and they produced several standards, including

Take Five and

Blue Rondo A La Turk.

Even to this date, the group still has a strong fanbase among jazz fans of all ages.

I like music that is technical and clever. I also like music with a good feel. This is the best combination of the two that I have ever heard.

Paul Desmond is probably one of the best sax players around...and that shows quite well in Take Five.
