    Besides a lover of classical music, my second genre would be Jazz.
    My favourite pice is the famous take five, by Dave Brubeck and his Quartet. It has a 5/4 metrum, that makes it quite a complicated piece, however it just swings!

    Enjoy:

    I like Brubeck/Desmond's How High the Moon. I think you can hear Brubeck's classical training in the somewhat 'hammering' solo and the quasi-baroque last section.

    I have a great fondness for rythmic upbeat music, this one piece defintiely qualifies; just before three minutes it starts kickin' again....

    For anybody interested in this, it is actually off of the album New York Jazz. Saxophone Colossus is a Sonny Rollins' album. I nearly got to see him live the past Friday at the Detroit Jazz Festival, but I was not able to make it FOR ANY OF THE FESTIVAL! I had planned everything to go at least one day but due to car troubles, well, it didn't happen... AGAIN.

    Of all the 'Thelonious' takes of Monk, my favorite is the highly concieved version from 'Underground'.

    This wonderfully taut piece from the DBQ, reminding me so much in its preciseness and terseness of "Theme From Mr. Broadway":
