I was listening to the radio today and the take five song was playing and I was like " I love this song wish I knew what it was..."
The radio host went on to explain the story and I'm really excited to finally know what the song is and am very interested in learning more of his music. Sucks the I only will know of his music after his passing.
I'm your mama, I'm your daddy
I'm that nigga in the alley
I'm your doctor when in need
Want some coke, have some weed
You know me, I'm your friend
Your main boy, thick and thin
I'm your pusherman
I'm your pusherman
Ain't I clean, bad machine
Super cool, super mean
Dealin' good for the Man,
Superfly, here I stand
Secret stash, heavy bread
Baddest bitches in the bed
I'm your pusherman
I'm your pusherman
I'm your pusherman

They played for 90 minutes and he wanted to do more but they literally came on stage to announce the end of the show.

Take Five was actually written by his outstanding saxophonist Paul Desmond. His drummer Joe Morello was also outstanding, as much of Brubeck's stuff was in odd time signatures.
Time Out is the iconic album.
