Jazz great Dave Brubeck has died at 91. Above, his 1966 performance in Germany of “Take the ‘A’ Train” with Paul Desmond on alto sax, Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums. Brubeck’s finger-work starts around the 3:50 mark.
Listen to the Fresh Air interview with Brubeck here. We’ll rebroadcast it on Friday.
