absolutely! amazing that he grooved so well with gene(he's the) wright man though there was competition for solos, and that joe's vision was quickly declining...that loss probably enhanced his hearing,rhythm and touch, however!
I hate I cannot put more likes to this video. Is really a joy to see and hear, both the quartet playing but also Dave explaining his motivations. Thanks!
What I love about Dave Brubeck is that he seems just as much a fan of jazz as a player himself - check out him grooving to Morello's drum solo acting like he has the best seat in the house at the piano.
So true! When he and Paul went to Europe in the 1970's he was really rocking to his own music. The enjoyment is palpable even across the internet waves and the miles and the years Etc. He has a broad smile on his face during some moments. Feat!!
Been a fan of the quartet for years, and actually saw them re-formed in 1976 in Minneapolis. They were great. Here, they just kill it and don't even seem to break a sweat though Brubeck gets winded sometimes. You realize how hard they are working, but they made it look so effortless. Incredible. I wore out Time Out. I always was impressed by how good a recording it was, and in 1959. Just amazing. What a gift they were.
"Take Five" was my first intro to this group I heard at a friend's house in 1968. I've loved this group ever since and bought most of his Columbia recordings and some of his college concert albums before Columbia. Both Eugene Wright and Joe Morello inspired my drum and bass playing. ❤
Morello makes it look so easy, and I suppose it was, but only for him and nobody else. That was extraordinary -- can't be described with words -- transcendent.
@@dawgdrumkind of a pompous comment. He's only stating his obvious contentment watching Morello do his thing. I feel the same. Extraordinary drummer. Yes there were other terrific contemporaries of his era, but that's not the point.
Read his first sentence and you’ll understand my comment. By the way I’ve played😅 drums with Joe Henderson, John Handy and many others and I know and have known many other drummers who are in the same league as Joe. Just a simple fact, that’s all.
@@dawgdrum wow you don't let up. I suppose I have to give credit for your tenacity. I don't care if you possibly played with Buddy Rich. I love Joe Morello.
I am so glad this is on the internet, the entire band were masters of their craft and this recording caught them at the peak of their powers. I can't think of another set of 65-year-old tunes that still sound this fresh and vital. I can't think of many songs from *_any_* era that sound this fresh and vital. That Joe Morello drum solo in 'Castilian Blues' is jaw-dropping.
I like the way this music sounds, it reminds me of the old movies I used to watch when I was a kid. It has a tough gritty sound. Alleys, streets ,characters.
J'avais 10 ans en 61. J'ai découvert le jazz grâce à ce quartet sur une chaîne Grunding. Je ne compte pas le nombre de fois que j'ai repassé le disque!
Paul Desmond to this day remains a major musical influence, including on my guitar playing. No other alto player comes close. All jazz drummers stop and pay homage at the shrine of Joe Morello. Can't get enough of Dave's "block-y" style, pure genius. So glad I grew up on this music back in the 50's and 60's, and this was before the big rock explosion of the 60's. Special bonus seeing columnist RJG, one of the most insightful writers in all of music criticism. Man oh man, this is so incredibly good.
I'm working on some stuffs from Paul Desmond. He became a huge influence on my playing too. Check out my YT Channel if you're interested in some PD's solos. :) there will be much more :)
This beautiful,unique jazz never gets old. I’m so grateful for these videos and lucky I got to see them play when they were here. Sometimes I hear Desmond when when I’m dreaming.
Amazing interview.....and seeing how the progression of jazz keeps changiing ..... its all about the Rhythm!!!! Still is..... Jazz is the coolest music their is....
yet have original recordings of many the quartet's jams 33 rpms. Dave,Gene, Joe,Paul.. 5/4 time new at that time..First on a 'outlaw' jazz station in San Diego using trans towers from Tijuana,Mexico..and a city in Oklahoma. Denver at this time be a Jazz jock getting down with 'the new sounds of jazz'..early 1950's . Using tape recorder taped many of the jazz stuff. Buddies come on over and listen to the sounds of "Modern Jazz"...A local club jammed also with the 'new giggs..Man,Denver was Hip!
Sweet!! they were just getting started then in the Bay Area, having played at St Mary's College in Moraga and soon would be at the famous jazz club, the Blackhawk. We were just out of high school and tracked his every event. Soon after this came the beginning of acid rock and the Fillmore and all that. What a rich lore.
Ahhh....the mastery of pulling the audience in at 3:35, just by lowering the volume and still delivering the power. Joe has always been my favorite drummer for his skill, his humility and his respect for his students and other professional drummers. I've never heard anything negative about him. I've watched "Take 5" many times on videos, in different settings and he always varies just a little in each but still delivers the heart of the song. It is obvious that for Joe, this was so much more than a job, it was a passion.
Great part of having lived in Denver, due to the bands heading Hollywood and Las Vegas, jam one night gigs in the Mile High City..I do be there each and every....
It's moments like the ones between 20:00 and 22:48 that make me think that Joe Morello is the greatest drummer in the world. Tres minutos con la realidad, tres minutos de estupendo virtuosismo.
Compile a list of famous people who passed away one day before their birthday and Mr. Dave Bruneck is on that list. I believe he was 91 years, 364 days old, Born December 6th, 2012 Died: December 5th. 2020
i was 3 when they did this. My dad probably had in on the radio or something...maybe drove me to where this groove master class was being held..either way, I was tuned in.
@16:43 He’s such a master at his craft, when he says this. “You either know what you’re doing or not.” And just listen to how he’s out of breath, cuz this isn’t just chords and timing it’s a fricken sport.
just to sound redundant..yeah even hearing and seeing these masters in live action. My collection of their music played thought out the day..now grandor such as this piece is a superlative addition. Yeah I steal from many other recordings Brubeck sessions..
Buddy Rich and Joe Morello are the two greatest master drummers in any genre. No kids, these two Jazz drum masters will never be equalled in the next 100 years if ever.
I don’t think Jazz drummers are in a contest. There are many many great drummers. You just haven’t heard them as I suppose. Yes buddy Rich and Joe Morello were great and so was Shelly man, Philly, Joe Jones, Gene Krupa, and on and on.
It was TV in 1961 or so on a San Franciscso ABC station in the Bay Area. We were lucky to have it at all. I am happy to see that Ralph J's series is on You Tube now.
The recipe is a piano vamp and a guy that actually plays sax period. If the rythym section is vamping you're free. These are fucking genius musicians because of their sensibilities and awareness of place
Thanks so much for posting! Just incredible musicianship all-round and loved Dave's interview too. Does anyone know if it's a quote Paul Desmond plays x2 at 1.22? And if so what it is please?
I attended one of his clinics in 1967. The night before, he was in concert with local union musicians. He was great in a big band setting. He got LOUD and it was beautiful.

Paul Desmond was in a league of his own for the style that he played, just amazing.
Yes, I believe he was a wonder of nature, only here for a brief time, never equaled.
@@marylouleeman and the impact he made in that such short time was second to none, pure genius.
Even in 2024, some 65 years after it was first recorded, Take 5 is still a hit. Time out a masterpiece
Joe Morello---skill and imagination; didn't need to be surrounded by twenty drums. Love this ensemble.
Dig.
So crisp, clear uncluttered sound of Morello. Truly one of the greatest, uncontested
absolutely! amazing that he grooved so well with gene(he's the) wright man though there was competition for solos, and that joe's vision was quickly declining...that loss probably enhanced his hearing,rhythm and touch, however!
Hands down one of the greatest drummers who ever lived!
The late '50's-early '60's jazz was the best. I wish there was a jazz club in my town that had great music like this.
I was about 9 years old when I first listened to this vinyl recording masterpiece and loved it since to this day of 60 years layer.👏👏💐💐👍👍👍👏👏
I hate I cannot put more likes to this video. Is really a joy to see and hear, both the quartet playing but also Dave explaining his motivations. Thanks!
Wonderful & smooth. I love this group and its era. A time to be treasured.
What I love about Dave Brubeck is that he seems just as much a fan of jazz as a player himself - check out him grooving to Morello's drum solo acting like he has the best seat in the house at the piano.
True passion always shows, and you can feel it!
That's what it was, all about being in the groove.
So true! When he and Paul went to Europe in the 1970's he was really rocking to his own music. The enjoyment is palpable even across the internet waves and the miles and the years Etc. He has a broad smile on his face during some moments. Feat!!
I have become obsessed with this piece of music, I’m discovering different versions and it honestly gets better each and every time.
You should listen to the version that they played life on 'At Carnegie Hall'. That whole album deserves a good listen.
Loving this. No sign of showboating. Just letting their superior skills and the music do all the talking for them.
Been a fan of the quartet for years, and actually saw them re-formed in 1976 in Minneapolis. They were great. Here, they just kill it and don't even seem to break a sweat though Brubeck gets winded sometimes. You realize how hard they are working, but they made it look so effortless. Incredible. I wore out Time Out. I always was impressed by how good a recording it was, and in 1959. Just amazing. What a gift they were.
I was 8 years old in 1960 when I first heard this song. Still one of my favorites.
Same with me, 14 years old in '65. Two years later I played it in a school talent show, with a piano and flugelhorn, and we won 1st place.
Thanks to Ralph Gleason for this great series of shows; every one is amazing. What a wonderful time.
"Take Five" was my first intro to this group I heard at a friend's house in 1968. I've loved this group ever since and bought most of his Columbia recordings and some of his college concert albums before Columbia. Both Eugene Wright and Joe Morello inspired my drum and bass playing. ❤
This is real music by some of the best ever. I liked this as a kid, like it even more so as a 60-something.
Morello makes it look so easy, and I suppose it was, but only for him and nobody else. That was extraordinary -- can't be described with words -- transcendent.
There were many other great drummers besides Joe Morello. He was great, but you need to expand your knowledge of the past great jazz drummers.
@@dawgdrumkind of a pompous comment. He's only stating his obvious contentment watching Morello do his thing. I feel the same. Extraordinary drummer. Yes there were other terrific contemporaries of his era, but that's not the point.

@@jeanclaude4I love Joe Morello too. And I’m a drummer so there’s no chance I would have played with Buddy Rich. 😀 Bye bye. 🥁
Desmond always has been my favorite alto sax player.

Great innovative music, Paul Desmond said he wanted to sound like a "cool Martini" he certainly does. Masterpieces in creativity.

Glorious sounds. 👏

So good, I could listen to this forever
Amazing interview.....and seeing how the progression of jazz keeps changiing ..... its all about the Rhythm!!!! Still is..... Jazz is the coolest music their is....
my mentor, I play his music as much as possible, quite a challenge but when you get it its really eye opening as a pianist.
Number one for ever❤❤
Great to hear this. Was listening to my CD of "Time Further Out" last week. Paul Desmond was one of the greats of alto saxophone.
yet have original recordings of many the quartet's jams 33 rpms. Dave,Gene, Joe,Paul.. 5/4 time new at that time..First on a 'outlaw' jazz station in San Diego using trans towers from Tijuana,Mexico..and a city in Oklahoma.

Dave's a stud period!!
Skilled musicians all. What a treat to see.
Dave brubeck for president
最高❣️❣️❣️
大好き❤ブルーベック！
この曲が、一番好きな曲です。
デイヴもポールもジョーもジーンも
カッコいい‼️
muchas gracias por permitir ver los videos con color que tan bien queda ! saludos desde Santiago del Estero Argentina
What accountants do with their free time.
All seriousness aside.... This is the definitive American Jazz sound.. Just the best
The best group and drum solo got bless them in heaven xx
There is no best group. Just your opinion.
Watch and learn how it was done and thank God it was recorded and video taped
great solo paul
Great great Mr. Dave

Every tune swings. Every tune has heart. And every tune is in the pocket. Most importantly every tune is hummable!
Cool! I was born October 13th 1961 in San Francisco! My jazz loving father probably watched this.
My Dad loved Dave Brubeck too 🙂
No sabe cuanto disfrutó de su música 🎶 gracias 👍 desde Perú ❤

melodias que nunca cairão, sempre serão apresentadas e executadas com todo esmero e carinho . . .
Incrível! Isso já se tornou um eterno clássico !
Never seen them in colour, wow
Ah. Gene Wright, with the classic 20 past 3 arms. Holding it all together
Потрясающе! Это уже стало классикой!
CETTE VIDEO EST HISTORIQQUE ET ONTOLOGIQUE!!! WRIGHT E MORELLO, SONT LA CERISE DU GATEAU. MAGNIFIQUE VOIR BRUBECK E DESMOND!!!
Fantastic
Notice- they weren’t allowed to show Eugene Wrights face. They had to fog him. 1960s. Damn
Just a great show and interview. I loved Dave`s view on time signature. All top shelf musicians.
❤
So smooth
Arghh a shortened version of Rondo ala Turk 😢 Rest of it was amazing
Joe turned stick over and rubbed his nose after the solo,smooth
Magic..

Simply beautiful collective display of musicality. One of the finest jazz melodies ever.
J' adore depuis mon plus jeune âge
I agree with comment made on Joe Morello artily drum digs..his innovations' on the skins are superlative...
Very good jazzman, Mr. Brubeck!
C'était un super quartet
@16:43 He’s such a master at his craft, when he says this. “You either know what you’re doing or not.” And just listen to how he’s out of breath, cuz this isn’t just chords and timing it’s a fricken sport.
So they WERE accountants after all!
Yes.
Incredibly hip accountants.
just to sound redundant..yeah even hearing and seeing these masters in live action. My collection of their music played thought out the day..now grandor such as this piece is a superlative addition. Yeah I steal from many other recordings Brubeck sessions..
Buddy Rich and Joe Morello are the two greatest master drummers in any genre. No kids, these two Jazz drum masters will never be equalled in the next 100 years if ever.
Phil Seamen was in the same league
I don’t think Jazz drummers are in a contest. There are many many great drummers. You just haven’t heard them as I suppose. Yes buddy Rich and Joe Morello were great and so was Shelly man, Philly, Joe Jones, Gene Krupa, and on and on.
And jack parnell and alan ganley
Joe's skill with suave
Man if only the audio quality were better
It was TV in 1961 or so on a San Franciscso ABC station in the Bay Area. We were lucky to have it at all. I am happy to see that Ralph J's series is on You Tube now.
the best
Live with no auto tune and fix it in the mix. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Doidera!!!
Colorized from B&W kinescope…I assume.
Yes, colorized. And I think it takes away from the magic of music from the past.
the hands of Listz, monster.
it's great! Thanks a lot!! From BRAZIL!!!
The recipe is a piano vamp and a guy that actually plays sax period. If the rythym section is vamping you're free. These are fucking genius musicians because of their sensibilities and awareness of place
Why does he never give Gene Wright a solo?
That's a good point. Maybe he did something wrong.
El sax de Paul 🔥🔥
What can you do but sit and watch/
LET'S SEE YOUR DRUM MACHINE DO THAT!
nois ama
Why colorized? Why???
何が疑問？
Yeah what about Paul Desmond WOW..what precision…even a butterfly could dance to that😅
Thanks so much for posting! Just incredible musicianship all-round and loved Dave's interview too. Does anyone know if it's a quote Paul Desmond plays x2 at 1.22? And if so what it is please?
Why no solo for the bass player?
Black and White time. 1961
Great interview and great performance, sloppy audio mixing aside.
Need to give the bass player some air.
This video needs 4K AI remastering
Joe was a great jazz drummer, but did ever play in the big bands, like Buddy Rich did…?
I’ve never seen any footage..
I attended one of his clinics in 1967. The night before, he was in concert with local union musicians. He was great in a big band setting. He got LOUD and it was beautiful.
More Brubeck is Better.
