.. not only that, but paul desmond composed 'take five'... he plays the lead on sax. giving brubeck credit is like giving lennon/mccartney credit for 'while my guitar gently weeps'.

Not to mention, there was a live show today so it isn't "vacation curse"

sorry jhig, but

His death was announced after Howard was done for the week, and according to the listening thread this was the last show of the year (though I doubt it).

Was this really Howard's last show of 2012? How did he manage to do 112 shows already with all that AGT time off and no thursdays. Someone count that shit.
