    I really don't care that it's not in 5/4. Brubeck already did 5/4. This is kinda funky, fresh and an optimal take on the classic. I like it.

    Tito puente did it in 4 so that it fit clave.
    I dont see why it's bad that Africans do it in 6 so it fits their rythmic sensibilities.
    It's a great rendition

    The original Take Five was the signature tune of a beloved childhood programme, "English By Radio" on Radio Nigeria. I was mesmerised by the drum/ percussion solo when a session couldn't air and the full cut was played. I've been beholden to that tune ever since. Dave Brubeck will be mighty proud of these guys...

      @@timonoosthuizen3614 A big "yes" to your last comment. In the case of salsa (Puente) I've long thought it is a mistake to notate the music in 4. You can do that, but the clave is really the foundation and notating it in 4 is just an alien superimposition. The idea every musical pulse/groove can/should be understood in terms of isochronic beats seem to me misleading.
