West Coast pianist Dave Brubeck was wildly popular in the 1950s, especially with college students. His quartet’s 1959 album of songs in unusual time signatures, “Time Out,” which featured the ubiquitous song in 5/4, “Take Five” is among jazz’s most beloved records. Here, Brubeck is now 65 years old and backstage at the Victory Theater in Dayton, Ohio. A tall man with unusually long fingers, he laughed while comparing the length of his fingers with anyone willing to press their hands against his. He’s still playing splendidly into his late 80s.
