Dave Brubeck Time Signatures

Not a lot of people know this, but brubeck was a little bugger when it came to time signatures for his songs. He wrote:-

"Take 5" in 5/4 time.,
"eleven four" in 11/4 (funnily enough)
"Unsquare Dance" in 7/4,
"Blue rondo a la turk" in 9/8 time, (which can also be expressed as 2+2+2+3/8).


He must have been fun to work with!
