This is a really special song to me even though I'm not really an aficionado of jazz. I first heard it in college, and since that time I have come across so many other people in completely different walks of life, geographical locations, and age groups, and they all are just as jazz-inept as I am but know it and love it just as well. It really has the ability to penetrate all sorts of cultures and eras. Very cool.

I'm not much of a Jazz fan either, but I know quality when I see/hear it [at least in MY mind] =o)

13 beats to the bar. I LOVE the improvisations of Desmond. Brubeck can only keep up, tho it's his composition. Great find! Beats the Take Five entry.


paul desmond is credited with writing the tune.
it's in 5/4
meaning 5 quarter note beats per bar
