Longtime jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck died of heart failure Wednesday -- one day before his 92nd birthday.
Brubeck was en route to a cardiology appointment when he died, the AP reports.
In 2003, the Library of Congress anointed Brubeck a "Living Legend" for his contributions to jazz music, which include such hits as "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo a la Turk."
"Throughout his six decade-long career, his unique time signatures and distinct rhythms were highlights of his innovative style," Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the Recording Academy, said in a statement. "As one of the prime architects of the sophisticated West Coast jazz sound, Brubeck showed that jazz could be artistically challenging yet accessible to large audiences."
