THE DEFINITIVE, INVESTIGATIVE BIOGRAPHY OF JAZZ LEGEND DAVE BRUBECK ("TAKE FIVE") In 2003, music journalist Philip Clark was granted unparalleled access to jazz legend Dave Brubeck. Over the course of ten days, he shadowed the Dave Brubeck Quartet during their extended British tour, recording an epic interview with the bandleader. Brubeck opened up as never before, disclosing his unique approach to jazz; the heady days of his "classic" quartet in the 1950s-60s; hanging out with Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis; and the many controversies that had dogged his 66-yearlong career. Alongside beloved figures like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, Brubeck has achieved name recognition beyond jazz. But finding a convincing fit for Brubeck's legacy, one that reconciles his mass popularity with his advanced musical technique, has proved largely elusive. In Dave Brubeck: A Life in Time, Clark provides us with a thoughtful, thorough, and long-overdue biography of an extraordinary man whose influence continues to inform and inspire musicians today. Structured around Clark's extended interview and intensive new research, this book recounts one of the last untold stories of jazz, unearthing the secret history of "Take Five" and many hitherto unknown aspects of Brubeck's early career-and sharing details about his creative relationship with his star saxophonist, Paul Desmond. Woven throughout are cameo appearances from a host of unlikely figures, from Sting, Ray Manzarek of The Doors, and Keith Emerson to John Cage, Leonard Bernstein, Harry Partch, and Edgard Var se. Each chapter explores a different theme or aspect of Brubeck's life and music, illuminating the core of his artistry and genius. To quote President Obama, as he awarded the musician with a Kennedy Center Honor: "You can't understand America without understanding jazz, and you can't understand jazz without understanding Dave Brubeck."Binding Type: Hardcover

SO SOFT & cozy without being super heavy
Color: Grey, Size: California King (102" X 96")
I’m picky about blankets because some fleece ones either feel cheap or make you way too hot, but this one is actually really nice.
It’s really soft, washes well, and has that cozy feel without feeling overly thick or heavy. I got the California King size and it’s actually big enough to fully cover the bed without constantly fighting for blanket.

My perfect summer blanket
Color: Grey, Size: King (108" x 90")
I had 0 expectations for this blanket and I was pleasantly surprised.
This blanket is very lightweight, much like the novelty throw blankets you find in the kids section. It's very soft, compared to chinchilla fur. Incredibly soft and it didn't make me hot. Nor did it keep me cool. For me, it's the perfect blanket for summer weather. So far, the quality seems really nice and it fits my needs as a king size.

Soft, lightweight, warm and long blanket
Color: 04 - Cream, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Very nice blanket. It's soft and long enough to cover you when laying on the sofa and warm. It also washes and dries well on warm water normal dry. I highly recommend this blanket

Great Budget Earbuds That Have Held Up Well
Style: Standard, Color: Black
I originally bought these earbuds because they were on sale and listed as an Amazon’s Choice product, and they’ve turned out to be a really good value. I’ve had them for about a year now, and they’ve held up without any issues.
They connect to Bluetooth quickly and easily, the LED battery display on the front of the charging case is a nice feature, and the sound quality is surprisingly good for an inexpensive set of earbuds. Battery life has also been solid for everyday use.
The microphone works fine for phone calls in quieter environments, although it doesn’t do much to block out wind noise if you’re outside. Still, for the price, these are impressive headphones and a great budget-friendly option. Overall, I’m very happy with them.

These Budget Earbuds Actually Impressed My Wife (and Our Wallet)
Style: Standard, Color: Ocean Blue
We’re retired and try to be smart with money, so when my wife wanted a pair of wireless earbuds for her daily walks and audiobook listening, I wasn’t about to drop $150+ on a big name brand. After researching, I took a chance on these TAGRY earbuds and I’m honestly glad I did.
She’s been using them almost every day for a few months now, and they still work great. The battery life is legitimately impressive — the case shows the charge level with a little LED display, which is surprisingly handy, and we easily get several days of use before needing to recharge. The wireless charging is convenient too. Sound quality is clear and perfectly decent for the price — good enough for her favorite music, podcasts, and even taking phone calls in the house. They stay in her ears well during walks, and the IPX5 waterproof rating gives us peace of mind when it’s drizzly out.
The only small complaint is that they’re not quite as comfortable for really long wear (she sometimes switches ears after a couple hours), and the bass isn’t super deep compared to premium models. But for everyday use, that’s a very minor gripe.
Overall, these have been a solid, no-fuss purchase that delivers way more than we expected for the money. If you’re a senior, on a budget, or just don’t want to overpay for earbuds, these are worth trying.
Hope this helps someone!
