Dave Brubeck is a jazz pianist and composer. His album "Time Out" is up there with Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue." First jazz album to go platinum if I remember correctly. "Take Five" is the most famous song on that album, so do yourself a favor and check it out.
Also, if your local library system lets you check out CDs then that's a very very good place to start. If you don't like it, just return it the next day and get something new.
