Why do we like this?
This week's Old School Wednesday is one of the most recognisable jazz songs of all time - and one of the only ones to invade the Billboard Charts. Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" is simply a classic of the genre - indeed, of any genre.
Known for its distinctive, catchy saxophone melody and use of the unusual quintuple (5/4) time, from which its name is derived, the song has spawned numerous covers - from Stevie Wonder to King Tubby, whose version is definitely deserving of an honorable mention.
