This video, and this channel, are a perfect example of what RUclips content can be at its highest level of quality and craft... well done!
If only RUclips wouldn't demonetize every channel that possesses this level of quality but covers more controversial content
Amen!
EXCEPT for the poorly placed, off topic and too numerous commercial content in your money-making venture. Unsubscribed, today
Absolutely creative
There are a number of glaring inaccuracies in this video, from picturing Desmond with a tenor rather than an alto, to incorrectly saying the drums are the time keepers rather than the bass, to incorrectly notating rhythms in take five, there's very little attention to detail and is only well put together if you're unfamiliar with the language of jazz being built upon by this topic
Take five - one of the songs what makes me smile everytime. Warm melody of happiness.
Love listening to it over and over again!
isn't that the only track in the album that he didnt write
@@OVXX666 Yeah.
Dave was a WW2 vet and was horrified by his experiences.... It shaped him as a person and a musician for the rest of his life. In an interview I once heard the topic come up and his response was heartwarming,chilling and heartbreaking as you literally hear him breakdown in sorrow.
He Dedicated his life to peace and music as a means to that peace. God bless him.
I think you may be confusing Dave Brubeck with someone else as I don't believe Brubeck ever saw combat
@@drdefecation one doesn't necessarily have to be in combat to see the effects of it. I'm only relating a portion of a thread I read of his time in the third army during ww2.
@@drdefecation Though he travelled in an Army music group through the War in Germany, he also experienced the privations and dangers faced by the military in general.
This is the exact thing that effected Rod Serling, the creator of "The Twilight Zone" so powerfully, as you can see in the many anti-war themes in his episodes. He was a paratrooper during WWII and saw the bloodiest combat in the South Pacific, experiences that scarred him for life.
It was
As a heavy metal obsessive I think that Time Out is one of the greatest albums of all time!
I'm a progressive rock obsessive, so I hear you :) It's amazing to find out that Brubeck popularized the idea of odd time signatures, which likely led to the creation of prog greats like Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and King Crimson. Simply extraordinary.
Keith Emerson was a massive DB fan, as is Billy Joel. The Beatles favourite album was said to be Time Out.
It really is an iconic album of all time
@@pdahandyman ELP used their version of Blue Rondo as an opener to some of their concerts!
@@brochestedbs The Beatles also did a lot of irregular and mixed time signatures, but they were sneaky about it. Ringo isn't flashy, but he's a master at subtle timekeeping.
Take Five done in two takes. Ironic.
You're using "ironic" incorrectly.

noun
the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.
"the irony is that I thought he could help me"
a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

Thanks for the lesson? But uhhh...
How does my joke not fit into the definition if “Take 5” was NOT (there’s your contrary), in fact, done in FIVE takes?
@@memereference2545 ironic
@@SleightlyPersonal Because that's not what the name refers to. Dave Brubeck: 'I said “Call It Take Five” and Paul said, “Take Five? Why did you wanna call it that?” I said, “Well, it’s in 5/4 time. It’s a thing that people say a lot”'. Source: www.davebrubeckjazz.com/Take-Five-&-Time-Out
@@memereference2545
Well, shoot! Why didn’t you just say that? This makes sense.
I’m surprised you came back for this.
Take Five is my wife's ringtone for the last 10 years. It's never boring and hundreds of people reacted very positively to it. A truly great song.
which section? or does it just start from the beginning?
@@AgentGilded - from the start of Desmond's sax.
Not a song. A theme.
98 is extremely common in western music. Duh. It’s a form of 34.
Mine is the theme from "Green Acres," but yours is also a good choice.
1959 was the year when two classic jazz albums shook the world Brubeck's "Time Out" & Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue".
The band thought "Take Five" was a thrown away? WOW!!!
There is no comparison, in terms of importance, between "Time Out" and "Kind Of Blue", which WAS highly influential.
@@jeanhodgson8623 And this album isnt? I understand that Kind Of Blue is probably the most important Jazz album ever made, but Time Out is great and influential as well.
On his podcast (on YT the channel is called "You'll Hear It") Peter Martin just called Kind of Blue the first "smooth jazz" album. Later in the podcast he walked it back slightly (framing that as relative to bebop), but still.
@@richardroberson2564 Yup. This is the part where we have to figure out how 'importance' and 'influential' are defined in jazz... or maybe we DON'T have to do that. I've seen people in the past get on their high-horse and try to tell everyone what's what with ideas like that, as if their opinions are the only ones that are valid. In the end, I suspect that two of the most popular albums in jazz history that each brought something something interesting to the table could both be considered important....
@@richardroberson2564 Kind of Blue was fine but not great!
Who doesn't love Take Five, but Blue Rondo was everything to me when I heard it.
9/8 in Turkey is not counted as 9 beats.
It is 4 beats,but the last one is 1.5 longer than others.
2/2/2/3
Such a rhythms with uneven pulse, called in Turkey "aqsaq"- "broken",or "Limp"
Do you have any examples you can share? That is very interesting.
@@TheGrouchDnD I recommend you Adam Neely's "How to Play Music in 9/8"
@@TheGrouchDnD
This one is from 80's. Probably the most popular 9/8 song in turkish pop/rock history. Three guys called mazhar, fuat and özkan aka MFÖ..
ruclips.net/video/4DZbURvoDEc/видео.html
9/8 time can be written as 4/4 time with and extra half beat
I counted 1 + 2 1 + 2 1 + 2 1 + 2 + 3 ... perfect expression of the timing, thanks Vadim!
Please do a video on Bossa Nova (big stars Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto)!
Why is it so unique and how did a Brazilian music trend became a Jazz staple and influence for other artists in the future?
Great Idea! I'm a hard core Bossa Nova fan! 👍
YESSSS INDEED
My man, your visual representation of Morello's solo on Take Five is one of the greatest things you've made!
Take Five is just superb! Morello was an incredible drummer. There is a RUclips video of Morello's solo live. Wow! Paul Desmond was a great saxophonist. A fantastic quartet.... Genius stuff!
Hearing the timing, melody, and vamp of Take Five gives me goosebumps. Legendary.
My passion is classical, but I love this album. Brubeck made jazz with novel time signatures so approachable, and fun. The album always lifts my spirits.
We’ve got a popular cafe in our city named Brubeck in honour of Dave Brubeck.
Thanks to this video I know a lot more about him now.
Which city ? I must visit it.
brochestedbs Jamshedpur, India
@@Aryan-eo4hb May it forever be a city of Jams
This album got me into jazz. What a beautiful collection of music
In the 60's, I was a rock drummer until I heard this song. Joe Morello changed my life. I searched for a professional jazz drummer who was willing to teach this ignorant teenager how to play music instead of banging simple rock beats. I was lucky and I still play jazz at 75 years old.
Perhaps the most addictive jazz tune ever. Excellent video once again, sir.
As a Turk, "much of the Turkish music is 9/8" is an overstatement. Its mostly used in mid and up tempo songs due to its danceable/playful nature. Also; since Turkey is an ethnic blend of diverse cultures there are plenty of different musical traditions ,9/8 signiture is mostly attributed to Gypsies and their dance tunes. Which is called "Oyun Havası".
@TermsofService 1/2 is still too much and i wouldn't say helluva lot in all music in Türkiye. However its plenty enough to be not surprised when you come across with a 9/8 song. This kinda music often played for entertainment purposes such as wedding parties. People dance to this music. Loses its manic nature with slower tempos.
Bruh, although Time Out didn’t feature it the Unsquare Dance needs to be a feature in this conversation. It still gives me the chills. Awesome job as always tho dood, GG
Good analysis. I can tell you that as a child born in 1953, we had both Time Out, and Time Further Out on our stereo regularly. Shaped us in many ways.
Wow! You’ve stepped up your graphics and animation, very clean and simple-I’m impressed, please keep it up 😎👍
Years ago there was a commercial on TV that had a segment of jazz in it. My son kept calling me out to the livingroom because he was smitten with it. When I finally heard it he asked if his grandad would know it. I was able to tell him that it was 'Take Five' by Dave Brubeck. Now in his forty's he has an extensive jazz collection. All thanks to that one song!
I’m pretty sure it was an Infiniti car commercial from the ‘90’s.
To this day, I'm still grateful that my parent's took me to see Brubeck live about 15 times before he passed.
In 1963 a high school teacher asked if anyone would like to stay after school to listen to a record..it was Take Five , thanks teach it opened up a whole new world for me !
Miles Davis & Dave Brubeck done!
Next options: Jaco Pastorius, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Bill Evans, Charles Mingus...
Monk ...
Herbie...
Bill Evans, totally!!
Ron Smith Thelonious Monk please!
Bird?
Thank you! This album is LEGENDARY and you did an incredible job summarizing and highlighting it. Thanks for talking up the band too, they are a huge part of what made this album so huge. Dave Brubeck made a great album but they really carried it. Fantastic work!!
Time Out is the greatest jazz album of all time
I always think of my late father when hearing Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" and I even used the song at his funeral and it was so appropriate.
Your videos should be mandatory for schools everywhere to pass your perfectly presented knowledge to the next generations.
Amazing. I've always loved jazz since I was a child and now I've learned a little something about it with videos like these. Not only can it charge you up, but cool you down at the same time. It's exciting and soothing and it makes me happy and calm just having it in the background soothes my soul. I especially love Mr. Brubeck and the rest of the musicians in his band. They are all so very talented and are masters of their craft. He is such a wonderful man to just sit down with and have a conversation with and listen to his life story and get a taste of his life and wisdom.Thank you for this video!🥀
My Dad had this album, and although I went on to be a Rock fan, I do remember being fascinated by the music, and avidly absorbed the excellent liner notes. They were pretty much all I ever learned of music theory!
I was 15 when I bought Time Out (I was already waaay into Miles) and it blew my mind! I got to hear Brubeck play at Ravinia - an outdoor concert in Chicago's sweet summertime. More jazz, please!! THANX!
Awesome! Thank you for creating amazing content. It just doesn't get any better than this.
A video about John Coltrane please 💓💓💓💓
preferably A Love Supreme, we've already heard so much about Giant Steps
@@joshklamka834I agree
Blue Train is pretty much underrated aswell
A love supreme!
Vox did a nice piece ruclips.net/video/62tIvfP9A2w/видео.html
Blue Trainn yes please
'And an album that, to this day, stands the test of TIME'....I see whatcha did there. Great album, great video!
Time out was the album that got me into jazz... Than you for the deep and insightful video!!!
This is great! Please do more cool jazz 🙏
I'd love to hear some analysis from Polyphonic about MJQ as well as other cool jazz exemplars.
@@fabrisse7469 MJQ, yes -- also Baker/Mulligan, Lennie Tristano, Art Pepper...
YEEAH! MJQ! I actually have a lil' concert in my school coming up with me, a teacher and two classmates playing Bach and pieces by Milt Jackson and John Lewis.
Might just be my fav vid from you yet. This whole album is full of songs that were part of teh reason I fell in love with Jazz music
As someone from the middle east this song is like a warm friend I love it so much!
I love how the whole band was mentioned.
Thank you Polyphonic! My new fave album. I owe you one.
I was introduced to Brubeck's fantastic work while taking Jazz classes in Highschool and have loved Time Out since there. Performing Blue Rondo is one of my favorite performance experiences. Thank you for doing a video on one of the most progressive jazz musicians of all time
Take Five is one of those songs that pops into your head from time to time and just hooks you. It'd been stuck in my head all day, then I saw this video in my Recommendations. Call it a sign. Seriously, this cat doesn't get enough recognition. Hopefully, this video gets more kids listening to his work - and jazz in general. 😎
'Looking Ahead!', 'The Shape of Jazz to Come' and 'Mingus Ah Um' were released the same year, man...
Never ever forget the one and only "Kind of Blue"
There’s a great documentary called 1959 the year that changed jazz covers the creation of all four albums in interesting detail
Yeah man, for sure! The year that jazz made a paradigm shift away from bebop/hard bob. Sadly, yet fittingly, Lester Young and Billie Holiday died in 1959.
@@BabelRedeemedas well as Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper in the popular realm ....
Thank you thank you thank you! This is probably my favorite jazz album of all time. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now, and ever since your Miles Davis Kind of Blue video, I’ve been waiting for a time out video, so thank you so much!
Polyphonic is killin’ it. The quality of the content surpasses what TV networks can achieve, despite networks having armies of ‘creatives’ working for them. Bravo!
Saw them live in St Louis circa 1960. Morello on stage alone for 5 minutes or so. Unforgettable.
When I went to college in the early 60's. My dorm roommate was a Dave Brubeck fanatic. I heard all his music !!
Brubeck, Miles (the eternal Miles), Coltrane, Mingus, Monk, Baker ... just magnificent music. Timeless.
Amazing album, amazing video. My only small issue is that Paul Desmond played alto saxophone pretty much exclusively, but the sax images you display in the video are all tenors. The curved neck is the giveaway, altos don't have that.
dryzalizer altos usually have a curved neck, but not always.
Take Five takes me back to my childhood - watching my parents dancing in the den. Thanks. Blessings all!!!!! 💜💜
Great video. I've loved Time Out ever since I randomly picked it out from my Dad's record collection a few decades ago. Blue Rondo is my favourite track and has influenced how I thought about music and odd time ever since.
I'm a big fan of your videos and been watching them since early on. I'm rooted in rock music but jazz is my other love and so glad to see you expand on it! Dave Brubeck is from my hometown of Concord, California and this record is one of the best ever. Keep up the fantastic work coming, thank you.
Thank you. I discovered The Dave Brubeck Quartet and Time Out in 1961 when I was 13 and it was one of the Columbia albums that came with the purchase of our new stereo console. From the very first time I listened to the whole album I loved it and was stunned by how it spoke to me. Compelling aural sensations that activated pleasure centers in my brain. I became a lifelong Brubeck, Desmond, Morello and Wright admirer/appreciator/fan. In my opinion (and this is just my opinion but I have considered all the other jazz musicians and I stick with this opinion) Joe Morello was the greatest jazz drummer and Paul Desmond was the greatest alto saxophone player, probably ever. Dave Brubeck was the most innovative, experimental and adventurous jazz pianist/composer and Eugene Wright is right up there at the top of the list with the greatest jazz bassists of all time. I've listened to/owned most of the Brubeck Quartet vinyl albums that came after Take Five and I love them all but my favorites are Take Five and Countdown: Time in Outer Space.
Love when you do jazz vids! It’d be cool to see one on Charles Mingus, Coltrane, Monk, or maybe Miles’ second great quintet or his fusion years.
AkimboCorndogs Yes! More Mingus!
The most brilliant video graphics and production values I've seen on RUclips! I'd be curious to know who did the graphics.
Man takes me back to when I was learning take five and blue rondo on horn for my band.
My Dad had this vinyl in his collection, so I heard it quite a bit as a child in the 60s. Of course, as I got older my tastes leaned towards rock n roll, but I did eventially purchase "Time Out" on CD. It's a really cool disc.
Ahh, the album that got me into jazz. What a masterpiece.
Making jazz with a melody that stands test of time - absolutely top notch work.
Why is this so underrated?! This is probably the best video on this channel. Love it, keep it going!
The video only came out a couple of hours ago dude. (I agree though, this video is great 👌)
You always bring new and interesting info to material I've been listening to. I've had a copy of Time Out in some form since 1988. I know the music, but didn't know the history nearly as well as I do now. Really liked the animation during the drum solo. Good stuff, keep up the great work.
This and Kind of Blue-two of my favorite jazz albums :)
First time I heard Take Five, I was blown away .. this video helps me appreciate it even more .. 🙏🙏
I always appreciate when you take music we love and get us thinking about the music theory behind it. I don't consider time signatures enough when listening to music, so thank you.
OMG THAT DASHLANE SEGUE!!! I lost coffee watching this vid... also, Take Five was a groove for a changing American public, looking into the world differently. Great video, mate. SUBBED!
Dave Bruebeck was a legend. Time Out and Take Five are my favorite albums by him.
My dad had both this and the Time Further Out albums when I was a kid. Listening to them and reading the liner notes is how I learned about odd time signatures.
I did already own a Greatest Hits of Dave Brubeck, but I guess I need Time Out on vinyl now as well! Thanks for keeping my vinyl collection updated and ever enlarged :)
time out. I've been listening it for decades and still get goosebumps whenever I listen to it.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been a Brubeck fan for many years. Never heard this explained this well!! Paul D. had a lot to do with the "sound" of Brubeck.
Been waiting for something like this, amazing work dude!
The quality of this channel is insane
Outstanding, well done, kind sir! You get better with every video. Keep up the great work!
It was this album that initiated my love of Jazz. Thanks for the technical background....
A few years ago our director ave us Blue Rondo to perform during a concert. At that time it was probably the most difficult piece we've played, because of the constant switching between unconventional time signatures (mind you, we're just a group of "amateur" musicians - none of us are pro's). We were used to pieces switching between time signatures, but this song is on a whole other level.
We still use the song as a measurement stick when we receive new music to play. Our director constantly goes: "We've played more difficult than this.", referring to Blue Rondo (and a few others) as the measurement.
I've heard Take Five a hundred times in my life and it always sounded like okay background music. Thanks for giving me the knowledge to appreciate it much more.
Great job as always! Thank you for the time you put into this and All your videos.
The reason why rock artists in the late 60's through the mid 80s were so successful and creative is because many of them had some training in Classical and/or Jazz! And Dave Brubeck help make that happen! Great video!!
And I met Dave at a few of their homes in the 70's and early 80's .
It is not easy to explain music. This video does a great job!
This video was freaking awesome, love a good intellectual dive into a brilliant creative landmark like Time Out
This is the content I subscribed for.
Simply awesome. I already love the album and you are certainly getting way better at animations! Keep going!
I have never been a jazz enthusiast but your explanation of Brubeck through his experimentation with time signatures is fascinating and has sparked a new interest in his music. I will listen to Time Out with a different perspective. Well done!
About thirty five years ago I bought the album Time Out just for the track Take Five. What a wonderful surprise when I played the entire album. A treasure in my collection down to this day.
My favourite channel does it again. Tremendous work.
Yet another great video. Loved the focus on his drummer. I would love to see one on Buddy Rich.
WHen i heard blue ronda, i loved it and asked my jazz teacher to help me learn it. Such a great song, and album
Love this video. You explained what made Brubeck so iconic in a very easy to follow and enjoyable way.
This video was fantastic, and I was astonished when I saw that you had under a million subs, a truly underrated channel. Also I would love to see a video about the Vince Guaraldi Trio, another influential jazz band.
Excellent topic, research, use/explanation of various time signatures and presentation!
- Superbly presented/produced
Thank you a million tumes for all of your videos. I’ve learned so many awesome stories from my favorite bands and songs thanks to you and your videos, I am trully grateful and entertained. Thank you!!
GatDAMMIT! Your videos are so slick! Even that sponsor plug was smooth as butter. Many props, love your work
I love this album so much. I'm always amazed at how quickly they change time on "Three To Get Ready."
Brubeck and Morello also helped pioneer the "2 against 3" feel that they used in future albums.
Great vid. Take 5 came out the year I was born and was a common soundtrack behind ads and station notifications in the NYC area (meaning I heard it very often while I was young). I have to commend you on the graphics of this vid as well, this was extremely well done.
What a great video man, thanks!
Dude! You're a real PRO! This video was fantastically made! Thanx 👏🏼 🇵🇱
Another example of why I subscribed to your channel :) Well put together! This is my fav jazz album and thanks for the insight into its creation.
This is amazing!
Thank you for sharing these insight
