The topic was popularity, not whether Jackie McLean's Right Now was musically hipper than Take Five. 'Course nobody heard of Brubeck in the '60's, right? If you think 99.9% of the music-buying public never heard of Desifinado or Mercy in the '60's I gotta wonder if you were even alive then.
Anyway, you win. I can't compete with your expertise.
