  Dave Brubeck passes on at the age of 92.

  An icon of jazz, he was the first to revolutionise jazz by breaking out of the usual 4/4 time and playing with 5/4 time; one of his signatures and a piece which he will be remembered mainly for is Take Five.

  Goodbye and rest in piece.

  You will be remembered and your music will live in our hearts.
