Dave Brubeck, designated a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress, continues to be one of the most active and popular musicians in the world today. In a career that has spanned more than six decades, his experiments with odd time signatures, improvised counterpoint, and distinctive harmonies remain hallmarks of a unique musical style unfazed by fad and fashion. With jazz's first million seller, 'Take Five' in 1959, Brubeck experimented with daring time signatures and a distinctive harmonic approach, launching what would be called "West Coast" or "cool" jazz. The legend was recently introduced to a whole new generation through his appearances on Ken Burns' documentary mini-series 'Jazz.'
