- Great jazz drummer Joe Morello plays "Take Five" by Paul Desmond on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 1995.
For years I only showed this to drum students, and am happy to be able to share it now. I often showed this to demonstrate that all drummers, no matter how great, will drop their stick at an inconvenient time. You just keep going! We all know what a musical drummer Joe was, but it has been especially refreshing to hear from students of his over the years, including Dan Gotlieb, of what a great teacher and inspiration he was as well.
Based on some comments, I believe the rest of the band is: Ralph LaLama on tenor sax, Gary Mazzurapi on bass, and Greg Kogan on piano.

Joe Morello, you were a MONSTER!! All drummers need to know this fact: John Bonham, when he first went to the USA, first thing he did was go and see his idol, Joe Morello. Let that sink in.
Joe not only “played drums on the song “. He created the rhythm and shaped the song forever.
Joe Morello's drumming always reminded me of Jackie Chan's martial arts. Relaxed, immersed, not rushed, always where it needed to be.
Picks up two timp mallets before he can find another drumstick haha! You could see it in his face, "are you kidding me?". What a legend.
Nice that Conan recognized this sometimes forgotten master. He was a great guy as well as a HOF drummer.
Love it when accidents happen and a master like Joe Morello can recover. Just beautiful!
A popular late-night talk show putting on talent and musical sophistication of this level today is inconceivable.
Drops his stick, fumbles around for another, yet plays flawlessly. How great is that!!!
I was lucky enough to take lessons with Joe. R.I.P. my friend. Forever missed.
And that my fellow drummers, is how it's done.
Well that shut me up. Time to practice
I've been blessed to have been a student of the World's greatest drummers. I started learning drums under the tutelage of the great Charlie Wilcoxen. My first Ludwig drumset came from the factory and, to my delight, was signed by one of Charlie's greatest students...Joe Morello!
I was honored to have been taught a lesson or two with him it was in 1967, and I was an aspiring Drummer in High School. He was legally blind then, but could put a drum chart up to his 1/2 thick glasses and read the chart, then lay it down and play the chart flawlessly. His command of his hands with those drumsticks were the most awesome thing I have ever seen. Joe Morello I think felt that it was his duty to give back by helping young drummers develop as players. I know he was responsible for helping at least one of them, I will never forget him!
His mistakes are better than 99% of our best days! Awesomely done
wow, good on Conan for having him on as musical guest and you gotta love that recovery.
Joe was so good people have walked off stage because they could not keep up. He was John Bonhams idol and one of the best to ever sit behind a kit.
The bass player behind him is my old friend Gary Mazaroppi
You see how he dropped a stick at 3:30 and still kept the ball rolling? That's the mark of a true musician. Fucking genius!!! Hands down one of the best drummers of all time.
That's why he's one of the greats. He drops a stick, picks up two mallets before grabbing another stick, and never loses time! Total pro.
lets split a bit of appreciation to Conan O brien for having some quality music on the show
