Editor's pick: Dave Brubeck at Mountain Laurel Concert Thursday, August 3, 7:30 p.m. Mountain Laurel Center, Bushkill, PA. Tickets $25-$35; lawn $20. mountainlaurelcenter.com or 570/424-2000. Dave Brubeck has been a jazz legend for half a century. “Take Five,” one of the biggest hits of the quartet he founded in 1951, has entered into the nation’s cultural vocabulary, and is recognized instantly (though not necessarily by name) even by those who know nothing about jazz. Brubeck is known in particular for unusual time signatures—“Take Five,” for instance, was written in 5/4—which initially made his label nervous but did not impede sales of his albums, some of which went platinum. | |||||
