Mid-Week Unsquare Song


Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck was a leader in the "cool jazz" movement beginning in the late 1940s, along with Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Quartet. Perhaps best known for his classic "Take Five," Brubeck's compositions featured unusual time signatures and contrasting rhythms. Our song today is written in 7/4 time and has clapping hands providing percussion. If it's somewhat familiar to you, it may be because it was featured in the Oscar-winning film "Silver Linings Playbook." Enjoy.
