Creative Genius of Dave Brubeck

Freedom is the rallying call for those of us who oppose the social justice agenda. But lest we forget, freedom is not just the mother of productivity and wealth, but also of creativity. Jazz is truly one of the uniquely American forms of art, and the greatness of those who created it wasn't borne out of grants from the NEA or some master plan of elites. Jazz emerged spontaneously from the creative spark in the hearts of its performers and their love for their art—in a society that accepts and values individuality and change. So, in honor of April being Jazz Appreciation Month…here is Dave Brubeck’s classic, Take Five, performed in Belgium in 1964. Enjoy the show!
