[Magdalen] Cool Blossom.

Definitely cool, and she is great! I have two of her LP's and several CD's. 
Blossom Dearie, BTW, is her real name.

I also have that release of "Jazz Goes to College" - unfortunately it isn't 
worth much and is easily replaceable:

And, "Take Five" is in 5/4 time, not 5/6. And, if you think that's unusual:

It's 5+ mins long, but worth it.  Blossom Dearie on French TV, 1965, with a 
segment that ends with a piano-4-hands blues improv.

Rather nice, I hate to admit.  At least it's 4-beat.  (Though I also have to 
admit that one of my prized possessions is an original 1954 Columbia "Jazz 
Goes To College" of Brubeck [who I hear died only recently, again!; wink to 
Jay], for me that master of 5/6 timing that actually DOESN'T make me want to 
scream at the hi-fi like Tramp watching the news in the pre-dawn hours.)

Enjoy.
