Dave Brubeck and the Rise of Cool

Dave Brubeck passed away today.  The jazz genius, who gave us "Take Five" and other notable classics, will be remembered as the performer who was popular despite the onslaught of rock and roll and the British Invasion.  If Elvis was the King of Rock and Roll, then Brubeck, to me, was the King of Cool.
