Name That Tune

Does anyone know what this tune is called and/or who the artist was?

Update: The following people have informed me that its a number called "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.
Jim, Richard Lee, Martin Walker, Graeme, and Richard Martin.
For those of you who requested guitar tab for this lovely saxaphone riff here it is as a text file:

I think its part a well known jazz instrumental that used to get played on the radio when I was a kid. The wav file is pretty close to the memorable part of the tune, but obviously played on the wrong instrument because the original was played on something like a clarinet or perhaps a sax but definitely a reed instrument. The grand prize for anyone who knows what the tune is called is an email from me that says thanks. Obviously when I know what its called I might be able to locate the music and learn to play it correctly, or even obtain a recording of the original artist who plays the sax a lot more nicely than I can play the guitar!

Anyhow if you recognise the tune
