I studied with Joe Morello. I also was blessed to interview Dave Brubeck for my radio show. He told me that often Paul Desmond's solos contained special "inside jokes" and musical quotes" to make the band chuckle. Sometimes Paul played fragments of tunes that reflected events of the day That the band experienced before the concert! Paul Desmond was an extremely articulate and intelligent man, and it showed in his playing. Then of course there was his matchless tone. Gene Wright played perfectly in the quartet. What a wonderful musician he is.
Once again the greatest Jazz quartet ever formed. They could read each others thoughts about tempo, key, when to compliment each other, contrapuntal playing etc. Dig it and all the other great tunes they played over the years.
Dave Brubeck was a genius! He influenced progressive music clearly. The synergy between the musicians is absolute, a delight for the ears and the eyes.
🦅🇺🇲🦅❤️ David Brubeck was the best music tutor a Poor kid like me would ever have , Not taking anything away from my other friend Walter Liberace ❤️❤️❤️‼️
Wonderful! Where did you find this? Possibly one of the best recorded visuals of the greatest of his quartets. It is also possibly the only time Brandenburg Gate was recorded (on film, I assume) by the quartet live. Do you have more? Great job Jan. Harry PATON EVANS Book of Dreams Music (England)
This is the closest you’re going to come to hearing Bach reincarnated as a jazz musician-Paul Desmond. Magnificent jazz group, lucky to be alive when they played.
Dave's solo showed he was already thinking about time and tempo changes where he was playing in one tempo and the others playing in a different tempo. He of course later developed this into the first 1 million jazz recording seller " TAKE FIVE". How awesome that is. RIP Dave, Paul, Joe, and Eugene.
Right on, Larry! Dave Brubeck and his great quartet continue to touch the hearts of millions. Thought you might want to know this--once Paul Desmond got diagnosed with terminal cancer, he sat down with his attorney and had his will drawn up so that all the royalties from TAKE FIVE would go to the American Red Cross. Since Paul Desmond died in 1977, over seven million US dollars from TAKE FIVE have helped people in need. Every time we hear TAKE FIVE anywhere, somebody is getting some kind of medical help. Paul Desmond was triple-hip. They all were, and are, of course. The story of Dave Brubeck bringing Paul Desmond into the band, in the first place, is one for the ages, too.
Paul Desmond fue uno de los músicos mas geniales que ha producido el Jazz, escuchen la cita que hace de "La consagración de la Primavera" de Stravinsky en el min 3:47. Con un sonido celestial y una afinación perfecta en cada solo, muchos de ellos obras maestras.
So, I play a decent harmonica. I hack at guitar and piano. I was 1st chair saxophone in jr/high-school. I traded my old sax for an electric guitar my senior year. I shouldn't have. I saw an old saxophone today at the pawn shop. After seeing several random saxophone videos in my feed oddly. I really want to buy it but I don't know if I should. Its been 35 years since I played. Anyone have an opinion?😢
A great jazz number makes you feel real good jazz does not get any better than this Chris taylor
Is this Jazz? Real Jazz? Yes, it is! 😮

One of the most perfect musical groups of all time.

Eugene Wright is the only surviving member of the "classic" quartet and is 94. Paul Desmond actually wrote Take Five in 1959.
Thanks Jan I appreciate your help.

Whenever something musically interesting is about to happen, Joe pushes up his glasses.
Maybe they looked like accountants, but they were musical gods ahead of their time.
Well said! That's good!
Comme les Beatles, la capricieuse illusion d'une parfaite harmonie...
Never the same sound from an upbeat song all the way at the other end of the spectrum comes this relaxing masterpiece..

Sounds like you came back home to your true love. You still got it, I'll bet.
Paul Desmond's solo sounds a bit like a Bach invention to me. Don't you?
