Take Five: the Dave Brubeck Story presents the music of the famous jazz quartet of the 1950’s and 60’s with images from Brubeck’s life and times through the eyes of 1940’s and 50’s radio presenter, Jimmy Lyons, who helped launch Dave’s career.
Presented as a radio broadcast with Brendan Fitzgerald narrating from the piano, Brubeck’s compositions are played using authentic transcriptions from the quartet’s famous albums.
The title is taken from the seminal ‘Take Five’, the highest selling jazz instrumental of all time, featured on the 1959 album, ‘Time Out’, the first platinum-selling jazz disc, moving more than one million copies.
