      1. Which artist won a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement award in 1987?
        1. Benny Carter
        2. Dave Brubeck
        3. Benny Goodman
        4. Frank Sinatra

        1. While all of these artists are Grammy® Lifetime Achievement award-winners, Benny Carter was honored in 1987. He also won a Grammy® in 1994 for his solo Prelude to a Kiss on the Music Masters/Musical Heritage label and in the same year received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

      2. Who wrote the classic jazz tune Take Five?
        1. Dave Brubeck
        2. Paul Desmond
        3. Lester Young
        4. Gerry Mulligan

        1. Paul Desmond, jazz alto saxophonist and composer, is best known for the work he did in the Dave Brubeck Quartet and for penning that group's greatest hit, Take Five. Known to have possessed an idiosyncratic wit, he was one of the most popular musicians to come out of the West Coast "cool jazz" scene.

      3. Who was featured as a performer and arranger on the Miles Davis album Birth of the Cool?
        1. Dizzy Gillespie
        2. Charlie Parker
        3. Thelonious Monk
        4. Gerry Mulligan

        1. This seminal recording featured a jazz ensemble of nine core players and a vocalist, the group included Miles Davis (trumpet), Max Roach (drums) and Gerry Mulligan (baritone saxophone). Mulligan also arranged six of the 12 tracks.

      4. Before his music career, which jazz great worked as a cowboy?
        1. Gerry Mulligan
        2. Dave Brubeck
        3. Charles Mingus
        4. Jack Teagarden

        1. Dave Brubeck spent some time in the saddle — his father was a cattle rancher. Giddyup, little doggies!

      5. Which field of study did Dave Brubeck initially pursue in college?
        1. Music
        2. Physical Education
        3. Veterinary Science
        4. Psychology

        1. Intending to work with his father on their ranch, Brubeck entered the College of the Pacific (now the University of the Pacific) to study veterinary science, but transferred on the urging of the head of zoology, who told him "Brubeck, your mind's not here. It's across the lawn in the conservatory. Please go there. Stop wasting my time and yours." Later, Brubeck was nearly expelled when one of his professors discovered that he could not read music. Several of his professors came forward, arguing that his ability with counterpoint and harmony more than compensated. The college was still afraid that it would cause a scandal, and only agreed to let Brubeck graduate once he promised never to teach piano. ~Wikipedia
