David Warren Brubeck (born December 6, 1920 in Concord, California) is an American jazz pianist who has written a number of jazz standards, including

In Your Own Sweet Way and

The Duke. He is probably best known for

Take Five, written by Paul Desmond, who was the saxophonist in The Dave Brubeck Quartet. Brubeck’s style ranges from refined to bombastic, reflecting his mother’s attempts at classical training and his improvisational skills. Much of his music employs unusual time signatures.

I love his solo album "Indian Summer". There is never a bad or inappropriate time to play it.
