A music legend with ties to the Sacramento region has died...
Dave Brubeck was known for his complex rhythms in pieces such as "Take Five."
Brubeck would have turned 92 tomorrow. He formed his own quartet in 1951, and would become the first modern jazz musician to appear on the cover of Time Magazine. The composer and pianist helped define the swinging, smoky rhythms of 1950s and 1960s club jazz.
