I must say, I did a double-take when I saw the front page of HN today.
I get that it follows the theme of Django and Sinatra. But Brubeck is not a very common name (the musician Dave Brubeck is my second cousin) and I don't normally see the musical Brubecks intrude into "my" domain. :)
- jazzychad 15y agoAmazing! I thought you should know that your second cousin inspired my love of jazz as a child, and Paul Desmond convinced me to pick up the saxophone after hearing Take Five. Thus, jazzychad was born. The world keeps getting smaller and smaller :)
- LukeFitz 15y agoSame here. I absolutely love Dave Brubeck (no homo). He really got me into jazz, and my first ever jazz piano performance was take five.
- hluska 15y agoHow is saying 'no homo' even remotely appropriate?
- j2labs 15y agoI grew up in the town where he lives (Wilton, CT) and was lucky enough to experience his son Chris playing at our school frequently. Dave himself played a few times too. I first heard take 5 when I was 11 and I've been a fan of odd time signatures ever since.
- haberman 15y agoI did a double-take too, and wondered if this was your creation!
