I just heard about these guys on a NPR interview....Brubeck sent a letter while he was still around and said this was the most amazing tribute to his song he ever heard. I couldn't put it any better myself....
@@Ewerb7 That's only a bit of the story : Drummer Joe Morello wanted a song to show off his 5/4 timing skills (hence the title), Brubeck asked Desmond to write a melody, which he then arranged for the band. A few months later they did a cover sung by Carmen Macrae with lyrics by Brubecks wife.... Whatever - great tune :)
I can't get enough of this video. My trio did this standard, but brought nothing new to it. THESE guys have positively transformed a beloved jazz standard into an appropriately transcendent experience.
This video is not about the orchestra, which is very good. It is not about the guitar man, which is really good. It is not about the sitar man, which is amazing. This whole video is about that man with tabla, who is just the Chosen One.
what is more astounding is the notion that there ever was a question mark as to whether or not different cultures can actually meet. Happens everyday, yet there is always a question mark.
As an British Indian Sikh.. This has to be the best version of take five. Stunning arrangement. Well done . The best way to support these guys is buy their cds and download their music legally. BRAVO
I've love Brubeck's 'Take Five' since I first heard it in '61. I've heard numerous bad 'covers' (read: butcherings) and a few reasonable 'covers' but this one is excellent! The tablas just fit the mood of the piece perfectly (not to mention the tabla player is on fire!) and the sitar also works well. I've no doubt that Dave Brubeck is smiling.
This is just not about SKILLS of the musicians. It is only about the composition and arrangement . That never comes good even with some of the best and highly skilled. That needs creativity as well as Divine's Grace or Luck as they call it. This piece here does have that.
I am a BBC Radio 4 fan, guess what ... you were featured earlier today!! I am very pleased for all of you. I am hoping that people will now understand that music is indeed an international language, but to weave eastern music with jazz is indeed a magnificent "take"!!
We have always positive hope for our lovely country PAKISTAN. Hope this would be first drop of rain for peace,unity and sincerity . After all we all want to see our country on top in every field. Good luck and our pray always with you. Abdullah from Australia
I heard this on Desert Island Disks this morning and just had to track it down and listen to it again. Jaw droppingly good and even better with the video. Not just the sitar and drums but the massed strings. Amazing.
what a wonderful tribute to the late Dave Bruebeck and one which he enthusiastically approved, recalling with fondness his tour to Pakistan back in the 1950s
I am a big Dave Brubeck fan and also like sitar music and music from the asian sub-continent. This is brilliant. Cant wait to get the CD, stick it on and just chill.
When cultures build on the best of what each can offer... The results are humbling, awe-inspiring, and uplifting. Thank you for making the world a better place through music, talent, and appreciation.
Tales of S&S This orchestra is from Pakistan and I am talking about the documentary "Song of Lahore". Don't give me that jealous Indian one culture, one country crap.
Amazing...stunning...such a creative and melodious transformation of this jazz classic into our own subcontinental music..cant stop listening it again and again...and hats off to Sachal Music. was searching for some old original music from Lahore, and got to know about Sachal Music... I am so fortunate to have known about them. All the best. Come to India. Ashish., New Delhi
I am speechless. I fell in love with jazz whan I was five when I first heard this piece. Music has no boundaries, this rendition is the perfect example.
Paul Desmond drew inspiration for this quintuple (5/4) time from Turkish street midicians who traditionally play in the 9/8 time. This kind of unusual meter seem to come naturally to these players petforming in yhis video and the sitar makes the music to sound indigenously Eastern.
Firstly as a human, then as an Indian, and finally as a Hindustani Muslim, I wish partition never happened in 1947. This is a beautiful piece that reflect's Lahore's reputation as a centre of culture and its resilience in a great time of adversity. If you loved this piece (which I hope you will), then read a history book and look into chronicles of Lahore prior to the 1930s and 40s. You will be amazed to see Lahore under the Mughals and the post-Mughal states - oh, what a diverse city it was!
Best cover of this classic that I've ever heard. Reverent to the original while offering up a wholly new "take" on Take 5. Phenomenal. If you don't get chills during the tabla solo, you are dead.
J'ai poussé une porte, et je me suis trouvé brusquement ailleurs. Comme dans une autre vie, ou quelque chose après la vie. J'en avais souvent rêvé, dans des rêves prémonitoires - c'est comme ça que l'on dit, n'est-ce pas ? Un grand monde, en tous les cas. Merci pour cette belle émotion !
Simply amazing. For these musicians, playing in 5/4 time would be second nature. This was fantastic...and as a guitarist, that guitarist here was smokin'!!!!!
We should all give such hope, peace and love to all brothers and sisters to make our planet whole. It only takes a thought to change it. Sharing like this is what it takes.
I found out about this from a piece which aired on Al-Jazeera, this morning. Indeed, Izzat Majeed is right that, despite all the destruction wrought by dictators at terrorists, the Sachal Studios Orchestra is living proof that there is still lots of culture and musical talent left in Lahore.
Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful job. Am a great Brubeck and Paul desmond fan and this is a beautiful take. Congratulations and looking forward to more.
Shantanu Shekhar rally.. Shantanu....not that I like to comment on trivial matters but it is Pakistani and that too one of the very few Jazz ensembles in Pakistan lately. Let's give credit where it is due...I'm sure there are many other things India can be proud of....just not this :) Pakistanis have some amazing musical talent even without the kind of resources and commercial money backing them....it comes straight out of the labor of love and devotion and love for music and life.
Must Log Woah...my mind just snapped.. (Just checked) They are from Lahore ..( not to sound Condescending) never expected such a thing from Pakistan.... Mind you I do respect Pakistani music.. Eg: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.. But I dint expect this .. Thank you for enlightening me with this.. Sorry if I hurt ur sentiments.. I honestly dint know.. I just assumed this was in India.. Sorry again..I honestly dint know. Kudos to budding Pakistani music..
I'm British of Pakistani origin and this is the first time I've seen a performance by what could be classed as an "orchestra" in and from Pakistan. Bravo to the performers...Love the original all my life and now I love this. Now let's have some women in the orchestra too :)
I just heard about these guys on a NPR interview....Brubeck sent a letter while he was still around and said this was the most amazing tribute to his song he ever heard. I couldn't put it any better myself....
The song was actually written by Paul Desmond.
@@Ewerb7 That's only a bit of the story :

If you want the Japanese version check out Minoru Muraoka - Take Five.
I can't get enough of this video. My trio did this standard, but brought nothing new to it. THESE guys have positively transformed a beloved jazz standard into an appropriately transcendent experience.
No piano no sax no ‘drum kit’ no base but wtf this is out of control amazing
Holy smokes. That Tabla player is freaking jaw dropping!
Yes and the Sitar player also shows clear expertise.
This video is not about the orchestra, which is very good. It is not about the guitar man, which is really good. It is not about the sitar man, which is amazing. This whole video is about that man with tabla, who is just the Chosen One.
Dindi
he is amazing!
yeah...that man is a legend

I believe the tabla player is Ballu Khan.
This is the coolest version of 'Take Five' I've ever heard ... what a drummer! And sitar made it just sing ... thanks for sharing

This just shows that two cultures can meet and make something amazing. Beautiful.
what is more astounding is the notion that there ever was a question mark as to whether or not different cultures can actually meet. Happens everyday, yet there is always a question mark.
Dave Brubeck liked this song so much he and his quartet made a cover
Lol, well done!
Dave was all about the covers...

that tabla player is on another level. He just starts running full bore and never lets up the whole time. incredible.
The tabla master made the top of my head explode. What an amazing performance!
Today is 5/4 Day. I'm once again sharing this wonderful piece with my friends.
I've love Brubeck's 'Take Five' since I first heard it in '61. I've heard numerous bad 'covers' (read: butcherings) and a few reasonable 'covers' but this one is excellent!

I am about as "white bread" as it gets and I *love* this rendition. The sitar sounds fantastic here.
Beautiful!
Fantastic...beautiful blending of east and west!!!
We have always positive hope for our lovely country PAKISTAN.
Hope this would be first drop of rain for peace,unity and sincerity .
After all we all want to see our country on top in every field.

there's a lot of praise for the other instruments here, and rightly so, but i have to agree that the strings were the stand-out for me
what a wonderful tribute to the late Dave Bruebeck and one which he enthusiastically approved, recalling with fondness his tour to Pakistan back in the 1950s
That guitar player's voicing and tone are impeccable. What playing!
I agree!

Thoroughly Enjoyed This ...!
That tabla player is on another level of consciousness from the rest of us.
Incredible !!
One of my favourite pieces of music and what an incredible arrangement. A fitting tribute to the music and Dave Brubeck.🙏🙏
I am a big Dave Brubeck fan and also like sitar music and music from the asian sub-continent. This is brilliant. Cant wait to get the CD, stick it on and just chill.

Bravo
Stunning! Dave Brubeck was delighted.
In these troubled times, let music be the "weapon of choice".
Song of Lahore brought me here.
Hassaan M India and Pakistan are practically one culture one country
Tales of S&S This orchestra is from Pakistan and I am talking about the documentary "Song of Lahore". Don't give me that jealous Indian one culture, one country crap.
Even after these years !
Words can’t describe. This is simply beyond imaginations. What an EPIC performance!!! 👍
Being a lover of both Hindustani Classical and Jazz, all I can say is - Bravo !!! Brubeck and Desmond would have approved.
Amazing...stunning...such a creative and melodious transformation of this jazz classic into our own subcontinental music..cant stop listening it again and again...and hats off to Sachal Music. was searching for some old original music from Lahore, and got to know about Sachal Music... I am so fortunate to have known about them. All the best. Come to India. Ashish., New Delhi
What a stunning show of Sachal ensamble playing TAKE FIVE !!!
Awesome - what great musicians !
I am speechless. I fell in love with jazz whan I was five when I first heard this piece. Music has no boundaries, this rendition is the perfect example.
Take five timeless different versions this is cool 😎 👏👏🙏
Just saw this story on ABCs World News.. ........no words. The universal language!!
Live from Brubeckistan
Paul Desmond drew inspiration for this quintuple (5/4) time from Turkish street midicians who traditionally play in the 9/8 time. This kind of unusual meter seem to come naturally to these players petforming in yhis video and the sitar makes the music to sound indigenously Eastern.
Blue Rondo A La Turk also on the "Time Out" album Is in 9/8 time.
Take 5. Played like a Boss. Music is art. Art is human. Long may it unite us by showing our similarities. Go for it Pakistan. Excellent.
Great job! Love from America!
Wow...this is what I call "creative genius"! The ability to take a popular song and spin it onto a different level! Love it! Choon, SoCal, USA
AWESOME !My husband and I love Brubeck's Take Five.
I am from India and my husband is Pakistani.
This is such a treat for us.
Good luck
Thank God for BBC for letting know the world such wonders from Pakistan. Really fabulous and words cannot describe the ecstasy of listening to this.
Yay Pakistan!!! :)))))

Beautiful! Respect from Russia!
Jaw droppingly amazing xoxo
Brilliant! Love from India!

Take five. Take a bow. The Tabla
Simply amazing. For these musicians, playing in 5/4 time would be second nature.
This was fantastic...and as a guitarist, that guitarist here was smokin'!!!!!
Talk about a perfect example of music being a medium that crosses all cultures & all languages!
Brilliant gentlemen, absolutely superb. I will be buying the album.
Great.......brings back memories of my times in India.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
Brubeck would be amazed.....and proud
Canadian/British/Pakistani and yeah, Take 5 is one of favorite songs of all time, this was literally jaw dropping
My jaw just dropped.
Mine too
We should all give such hope, peace and love to all brothers and sisters to make our planet whole. It only takes a thought to change it. Sharing like this is what it takes.
You guys were able to raise up Take 5 to the new level, thank you so much. (I bought it on iTunes)

Added to my music list. Thanks, Doonesbury, for sending me here.
Wonderful rendition!! Music is universal
Take five guitar
I'm a Brubeck fan and this is fabulous...well done.
Wonderful. All who appreciates music will thoroughly enjoy this.
Also watch Ms. Anoushka Shankar on sitar.
Great musicianship and excellent video work too!
That's just awesome! Love it. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful job. Am a great Brubeck and Paul desmond fan and this is a beautiful take. Congratulations and looking forward to more.
This is amazing.

Woah...my mind just snapped.. (Just checked) They are from Lahore ..( not to sound Condescending) never expected such a thing from Pakistan.... Mind you I do respect Pakistani music.. Eg: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.. But I dint expect this ..
Thank you for enlightening me with this.. Sorry if I hurt ur sentiments.. I honestly dint know.. I just assumed this was in India..
Sorry again..I honestly dint know. Kudos to budding Pakistani music..
Hey, guys! Thanks for keeping it constructive. This is really encouraging to see in comments.
The drummer just blows me away. That's amazing.
love it!! wonderful effort by this group. Good to hear something good from our neighbour. Best wishes from India
I'm British of Pakistani origin and this is the first time I've seen a performance by what could be classed as an "orchestra" in and from Pakistan. Bravo to the performers...Love the original all my life and now I love this. Now let's have some women in the orchestra too :)
There IS hope for Pakistan.
You are a fucking idiot.
Excellent. This tabla player has done the job far better than many famous maestros
The original is my fav, but this is quite badass.
Absolutely brilliant!! True jazz. Thank you!!!!
Sitarist is amazing!
A great rendition to one of the greatest jazz classics.
wha sweet violions
from lahore me or my brother saleem khan in this orcastra
This is an amazing interpretation of Take Five and am glad Mr Brubeck posted this link on facebook. Thanks Dave, Stephen from Indianapolis, IN
Love from across the border. I also heard the version with Wynton Marsalis. Amazing
The acoustic guitarist slays the frets beautifully!
F*$#@ng Spectacular! Chills! Tears! So good!!
Mashallaha
This is fantastic, it ads so much more of an exited element to the piece. Good bloody job mates.
BBC radio 4's 'Add to Play list' brought me here and i'm glad for it. Brilliant version i've never heard before.
That was great :) Love the guitarists playing
My God!!, This is better than the original Take Five!! Great job !!
This is awesome!
This was mentioned on Saturday Live, BBC Radio 4 yesterday morning, so I've just found it.... it is AMAZING.... loved every second
