==...as jazz is to 4/4 time... ([[Abstract expressionism]])==

I don't think that's right. 4/4 time is very common in jazz. Think of ''Basin Street Blues'' or ''St. James Infirmary'' or [http://www.musicarrangers.com/star-theory/t19.htm This page] says "Common time is 4 - 4 is the traditional time signature for ballads, rock, jazz, Latin American, Spanish paso doble and many other idioms," and [http://www.pbs.org/theblues/classroom/essays12bar.html virtually all blues]] is in 4/4 time. I think even boogie-woogie (as in Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie-Woogie") is usually notated as 4/4 time, although maybe it should be 8/8.

In fact Dave Brubeck's famous 1959 album ''Time Out'' and his signature piece ''Take Five'' were so attention-getting precisely because they explored rhythms other than 4/4. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 18:23, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
