My drum teacher 1987-88. 🙏 RIP Joe.
WOW 👍
Wow!
Do you still play?
@@garbagepailkids81 ~ Time for a cup ! ☕️ 😚👌
Good on you!!😃
JIS, what a performance..
Comments? Not needed.
Joe Morello is definitely amongst the ELITE few of World Class Drummers to have ever lived.
When you can drive a solo like this while pushing up your spectacles on one beat and repositioning the floor tom on the next ..... what a a guy Joe was!
Did you ever read the story about Vinnie Colauita eating sushi during his audition with Frank Zappa?
@@ralph0149Where can I find it? I'd love to read it.

There's an anecdote with a video clip of Joe Morello dropping his stick during a solo. He picks the stick up off the floor and continues without any break in the rhythm; and it appears that that dropping and picking up of the stick is rhythmically significant to the solo that he's playing! He even screws up with perfect time. It's hysterical!
I noticed that when I saw the quartet playing live, in the UK, in the nineteen sixtes. Amazing.
The one handed solo part with his right hand is simply incredible
Like no other my friend, incredible.
The same for is left hand, and right foot
I had the honor of seeing him in concert and attending his drum clinic the next day. I was 11 and it made me a jazz fan for life. That was 1967.
I was 14 and saw him play Far More Drums at Carnegie Hall
Thank you, Joe. Not only for the good entertainment, but for reminding everyone that you don't need to have 10 drums and 15 cymbals to sound great!
you need 11 drums and sixteen
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Cymbal x 16
👍
LMAO!!
@@drumtwo4seven
Some how I calculated 14snare drums 🎉
I agree, but also kinda feel like this is a stupid point to make. Big drumset players ain't shitting on Joe Morello, they just prefer their own setup. It's such a dumb argument, like smaller keyboard players don't dismiss grand piano players, there's literally nowhere else in music where this kind of prejudice exists. All that matters is how good the music they create is, whether it takes one drum or a hundred.
@@seaburyneucollins688 I wasn't crapping on the big set players. My statement was meant for the up and coming youngsters who are interested in beating the skins and letting them know that they don't have to have a monster set to sound good.
The good old days when jazz musicians looked like accountants. Amazing the way he really punishes that snare!
Overweight Accountants at that.
He should have shed those pounds doing all that cardio.
Actually banks, offices copied their style of dress from Jazz musicians. Look it up!
Mi maestro de conservatorio en Cuba con esos complicados métodos de percusión, después de su maestro Jorge Lawrence Stone ( Stick Control/Acent and rebonds ….) junto a Buddy Rich; Jim Chaplin and many more.
Nunca les conocí, pero si quieres ser grande “ on the drums “ como lo hace un cubano, es obligatorio adorar a estos dioses.
¡ hermanos del drum ! Si no empezáis por los primeros 72 ejercicios del Stick Control todo empieza mal .
¡ vamos genios , tocar el drum es algo que se va con nosotros al más allá .
Un saludo a todos los percusionistas y en particular a todos los bateristas de rock . ❤️❤️❤️
I can see where Bun E. Carlos with Cheap Trick got his inspiration from 😉
Best days no computers, cell phones. I bet they all had fountain pens in their pockets.
What a privilege and a luxury it is to be able to RUclips clips of any great drummer you could ever want to watch.... Joe is the man❤️
The way Eugene and Joe communicate with each other while playing...😄You can see the joy in their faces. See this is what music is all about
Very tasteful and one of the best EVER... probably the Take 5 solo is the most famous jazz solo, most often played... I met him in the 60s and led him around, due to his poor sight at the Newport Jazz Festival, he was a friendly and lovely person as well.... RIP
I saw him at Carnegie Hall play 15 minutes solo on Far More Drums
Great!
The greatest left hand technique in the history of drumming.
_Buddy Rich has entered the chat_
_Roy Haynes has entered the chat_
@@hotice8885 sorry nobody can beat Morello's left hand, not even Buddy
@@robertoricci3393You are absolutely correct
No question.
"Paradiddle Joe - He can do tricks with the drumsticks"
And, one of the most musical drummers ever!
It's the modest aims of this solo that are so appealing.. No sticks, one stick, two sticks. Expression, rudiments, technique and then flair. All the while I can still hear the song playing in my head. He's a way gone cat.
How's that modest? No sticks, one stick, two sticks, expression, rudiments, technique and then flair; it sounds like he was trying to encapsulate the entirety of drumming within one solo! I mean, he achieved all that, but in no way would I consider those to be modest aims!
He was well on his way to becoming a professional violinist before he switched to drums. What a musician!
I didn’t know that! As a drummer I’m glad he did!
@@zachoneill6570He had been to a concert given by a Japanese? Violin prodigy. He thought he would never be as good as that kid, so he decided Drums was for him. Lucky us!
I am a fan of Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Joe Jones, Ginger Baker, John Bonham and Keith Moon... and this might be the greatest drum solo I’ve ever seen.
All great drummers, jazz drummers more technical
Brilliant drumming 😅
He would've left the above mentioned 'Rock' drummers in his wake. Simply no comparison.
When people talk about the greatest drummers in history he is often left out, unfortunately. He's not even on the top 100 lists of Rolling Stone or Drumeo. I rank him in the top three with Ginger Baker and Buddy Rich.
Agreed! Everytime I watch this, I am just ‘floored!’ Incredible drum solo! Looks physically and technically taxing! So satisfying to watch and listen, though!
The dexterity and stamina of the greats like Joe Morello amazes me.
Economy of motion
No one was cooler than Joe, he is my number one choice look at his style he is so relaxed
I'm 66 years of age and I can't believe I've never heard him. I'm so glad I discovered him on RUclips. Thank you.
I bought Time Out on LP when you were zero.
Great that you are enjoying him now! When people talk about the greatest drummers in history he is often left out, unfortunately. He's not even on the top 100 lists of Rolling Stone or Drumeo. I rank him in the top three with Ginger Baker and Buddy Rich.
I think I have a new favorite drummer. I just read that Keith Moon called him perfect. He wasn't kidding !
!That right there let you know Moon knew what he was talking about.
Me Too
Read the same article
Yeah really!!!!
Even if Keith Moon said that, Morello was the perfect drummer... One of the most talented drummer of all times and a great teacher as well.
This guy is great!....I also use my "hands" when soloing!
I'm not a drummer but I can listen to Joe's solos all day.
The man does have the 1st or 2nd most famous drum solo in the history of Jazz, depending on your point of view. No joke.
The most famous one is Moby Dick.....
Which I am now convinced is a straight up rip off of this solo....
Zeppelin steals again.
@@francus7227 Admittedly, Joe Morello was a huge inspiration for Bonham and he incorporated and developed that style into his rock and roll drumming. Copied? No. Transformed and pioneered into a totally different genre, absolutely. Bonham's 15 minute Moby Dick and Neil Peart's 15 minute drum solo each showcase the very best of what a drummer can achieve. Jazz drummers like Morello and Bellson paved the way and are no less talented in any way, they are the true pioneers of drumming as we know it today. Everything that is, has fed off of something that has been, such is the way of life!
@grandeur9581
Well... You make very good points.
Plant said,"We change the ending. We changed the beginning. And, we changed the middle. Is it still the same song?"
Legally? Yes.
To the fan? Not really.
@@francus7227 that's what art is all about. Nothing is invented without inspiration.
@@francus7227 So which song was Plant referring to? I t sure sounds like a lot of hype to me.
My dad saw him play as a late teen. Once they got pushed forward because everyone wanted to see him, my dad said he was about 4 feet away from him. He said he had a headache for 2 days because it was so loud, the way he played. Everyone agreed he was great! He appeared on Conan O'brien show. Joe was blind at that point.. he lost a stick but never missed a beat until he found a new one. AMAZING
OH MY GOD!!!!! Possibly the finest drummer to ever play the instrument.
OMG is right! Why didn’t I ever hear him before this?
@@clu4u Could be you're like me, heard him a million times but not on a solo.
Well, definitely qualifies for the Top Ten at least. So many others.
Look up Buddy Rich. He was the best by a mile.
Buddy was great, seen him a million times. Joe was every bit the drummer he or Louie Belson were.@@Kezza1919
This must be where Antonio Sanchez (Pat Metheny) learned to play. We had Brubeck albums in the house 65 years ago, when I was maybe 8. I knew Joe was good, really really good, but I never saw THIS before. Man oh man ... what can you say?
Hands down, the greatest drummer to ever live.
One the most RHYTHMIC players I've ever seen. Fantastic right and left hand independence... dig his left hand single-stroke roll!!!
Joe was a master
Indeed.
Of the highest level!
Everyone's life is enriched witnessing this glorious wonder
WOW 🥁 just beautiful, amazing... when the world was normal and sane, with fantastic music and amazing drummers too, just beautiful... Good times 👌🙌🥁🥁🥁 all the true legendary drummers that followed, looked up to and tried to imitate Joe 🙌🥁🥁🥁🥁
My drum teacher, the late Greg "Edwin" Grzankowski was a student of Joe. I feel VERY HONORED to have been a student of the student of Joe. Edwins Music Store, Buffalo, N.Y. now defunct. Thanks very much for sharing this amazing piece of musical mastery and beauty.
He was the smoothest most articulate drummer ever. Everyone was influenced. Yes I’ve been a drummer for 53 years.
Then you would agree....The Song Remains the Same version of Moby Dick... is a note for note copy of this....
Zeppelin steals again.
@francus7227 I've always thought that bonzo stood on the shoulders of Joe but never heard anyone else say so. Castilian Drums tells the story of Bonzos education. You know the saying: amateurs borrow. Professionals steal
@tomalexander3932
Unless it's really over the tops stealing of art.... All "borrowing " is cool with me.
Like Robert said.... "We changed the beginning. We changed the end. We changed the middle. Is it still the same song?" Leagally? Yes. To my ear..... No.
I just like calling Zeppelin out. In actually.... They were an unbelievable talent.
Can't believe this astonishing solo has had less than 30k views, it's breathingtaking, gave me tears of amazement, (also a drummer/pianist 💜
One of the MOST BRILLIANT Drummers that have ever lived !!!
Such control, there is no one, like Joe Morello.
Greatest of all time, never gets the recognition he deserves.
that's not true joe public haven't got a clue but mix in the jazz clubs in england he's there with art blakey / papa jo jones who's rhythm was unreal
What do you mean? If you knew nothing about him before, doesn't mean that he didn't get the appreciation he deserved from those who had something to say about it.
As usual, there is no greatest. It depends on who you ask. People should always state in my opinion etc.
Beautiful . The master at work . Joe didn't mess around . He knew what it was about .
How is that humanly possible...Bravo!
He is, and always has been my favourite drummer, ever since I first heard the live Castillian Drums solo at the Carnegie Hall concert. I was a mere 11 years old at the time and, having spent a life in music, nothing has ever changed my view that he is, without doubt, the best drummer ever.
Agreed, he really was something special both musically and technically, also incredibly humble
@@musicmusic6595
Les vrais génies sont humbles, ils savent qu'ils ont reçu ce don à la naissance et aiment en faire profiter les autres, cela ne coûte rien et fait plaisir tout le monde.
Unsquare dance😂😂😂❤❤❤ amen
Master. Continuously blown away. I feel bad for the Basseplayer tho, he had some good stuff going on. But Holy Crap, run from the Tornado.
Don't feel bad for Gene Wright :-)
Joe never stepped on Genes toes, (from what I've seen of various uploads) there was always subtle verbal dialogue between them ahead of whatever happened, you can see Gene around 1.20 giving Joe the green light, such a beautiful chemistry between them
I did not know this guy...by chance I saw him play the drums in an old video for a few secs of intro and... now I am here!
Damn, that hi-hat was tied to a motor, just ticking away 1/8ths through the whole solo. Also, great one-handed part near the beginning. Great piece over all.
That is better than a firework display on Fourth of July this solo truly builds to the grand finally
Morello was a beast. Master class in dynamics and flow. Unbelievable.
Fire, energy, passion, style and the love to keep the beat on beating that was Joe Morello!🥁👍
Good LORD!! That man can play! The hi-hats are keeping time like a stop watch!
I just love Joe’s drumming. Such a cool dude. 👏👏👏
Thanks so much for sharing
We know where John Boham took his inspiration from for his Moby Dick hand drum solo...
Incredible!! Here after a mention that Joe was one of John Bonham’s major influences..
I'm here after reading he was one of Charlie Watts' favorites. :)
The bare hand playing definitely rubbed off on Bonham! Huge standout in Bonham's "Moby Dick" solo was the bare hands part.
@@GamingDrummer89I can hear Joe's use of the bass drum in most things Bonham does.
The hands. Yes first thing I thought of was Bonham at rah 1970 moby dick. Joe kills it
Please stop comparing Bonham with Morello. There is no basis for comparison. I’ve heard Moby Dick, it is impressive but no rock drummer could do what Joe Morello could do…not Bonzo, not Baker, not Copeland, not Pert.
Fabulous drumming from one of the best ever jazz quartets.
I saw Brubeck live 4 times in my life, and was always so impressed with the power and speed of Morello. He was a big guy and really did punish those drums. He was like a heavyweight boxer hammering away. How I miss those good days when great jazz was alive and well----Dave Brubeck Quartet leading the way.
Absolute Masterclass.
My six favorite drummers of all time, the musicians that inspired me to learn music; Joe Morello, Gene Krupa, Lois Belson, Buddy Rich, John Henry Bonham, and the one and only Bill Ward of Black Sabbath. A special mention to famed concert pianist Glen Gould from Toronto, Canada. After 50 years I still wish I could play as well as them.😔
Beg Pardon but it was Louie (Louis) Belson! Also,...no respect for max Roach or Philly Joe Jones??
@@marcob.7801 Point well taken. The list of Greats is long, no disrespect. The six I mentioned were my greatest influences.
I had the pleasure of seeing Joe Morello in concert with the University of Maryland Jazz assemble back in 1971.
Lucky person!@@user-rz1uf2qc1j
His finger work alone with sticks makes him GOAT!
Now, We know where John Bonham and the so call great British Rock n Roll Drummers Got Drumming Style & Techniques from Joe Morello & Buddy Rich, and many "Great Classical Jazz Rudemental Percussionist of the 193's - 1950's up to 1980's!
True but they admitted it..John Bonham has cited Joe Morello as a big influence
Love Love Love Joe's playing ..... such a wonderfully musical drummer he was.
The best drummer ever!
I remember that my parents saw him at The Red Hill Inn in Pensauken, NJ.
My Dad said his vision was so poor that he was lead/guided to his drum stool.
If I heard two names around my house concerning their musical heroes, it was always Joe Morello & Paul Desmond....
I'd invariably bring up Keith Emerson or Bill Bruford, being younger. And we did appreciate each other's musical generation for sure....
🚬😎👍
The greatest of all time. Simple as that.
Go Joe Morello!❤
This was fun to watch and hear!😊
Why diss Gene wright? He was a respected player in the band. Dave Brubeck would refuse to play venues that would not allow black musicians. They all respected each other and let them do their thing.. no anger just respect.
The pulse of the bass player...out of this world
not a competition, a celebration, I would hope. God bless
I really enjoyed Joe's solo. But I also though he and Gene really had a good duet going there. Bass and drums played by two masters is sublime. Having said that Joe's solo was brilliant.
Excellent drums , but lets not ignore the wonderful walking bass line !!!!!
What an artist. So musical.
Joe, you are great ❤
Can't believe what I just saw. Amazing!
Good God. I never tire of this performance. Unlike most drummers of his genre, Joe played a larger 13'' 16'' & 22'' set up as opposed to the 12'' 14'' & 20 of his contemporaries . He had a lot to say....He just said it a bit louder!
And sonically deeper- Joe loved the deep tones from the larger drums.
Anyone can play loudly but few in the world had Joe's precision and accuracy. His sense of the timing, pace and beat was sheer perfection. I saw/heard him 'Live' on three occasions starting in 1959 when I was just 13. Brubeck Quartet here in England - the concert ended with a 12 minute drum solo from Joe. Standing ovation was incredible and the audience were cruel enough to shout for more! Dave said "You are being a bit cruel - Joe gave his all, just then"
This man, he was a machine!
All that and giving the finger to the audience at the same time. Absolute legend.
Greatest drum solo? Definitely in the running.
I want more jazz solo drumming…this was delicious! 🥁
One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history, arguably! So intense, satisfying and just incredible! When he hits the cymbal as fletcher is threatening him, is just 😂! At the end I feel that the teacher and student shared a moment that was long awaited by the student. He suffered, ‘immeasurably’ to achieve that! I feel many of us don’t realize what it really takes to be considered ‘great!’ Or else, many more of us might actually get there! Not putting any of us down big it takes a lot of sacrifice, dedication and some painful experiences to attain greatness!
Adorable the way as he adjust his eyeglass without missing the rhythm. :)
Quelle démonstration !!!! Un drummer parmi les tout meilleurs Merci!!
Amazing performance
Joe Morello, a master class drummer….!
Every solo of Joe's was great.
I'm a fan of gene Krupa and buddy rich
Did not know this guy
Thx for video
Amazing
I'll put him up there with the greats👍
SUPER ❤❤❤❤🎉
Remarkable. What a breathtaking drum beat! The cello player was also outstanding.
double bass ,not cello
When I heard Take 5 for the first time I was hooked!!! Go Joey…
This is a great set. competition between bass player and drummer is classic
I first decided Joe Morello was the best drummer l had ever heard on Take Five . He used subtle tones and fades to describe his interpretation of the music . Everyone thought Buddy Rich was the best but l knew it was Joe . I was 17 years old .😊😊
I agree with you that Buddy Rich was better known, but I believe that Joe Morello was a better drummer
Love JM's drumming but Buddy Rich freak hands and all THE GOAT!
Bonzo van Led Zepplin drummer van de Cream…?
I went to a clinic Joe put on when I was 16 in ‘67…a kid asked Joe if he could play the drum part from “Wipe Out”-and Joe said “You mean…” and then played it one-handed. No one could move sticks faster than Morello-notice what he does with his left hand in some of the fastest patterns, moving the stick with individual fingers with minimal wrist action. Brubeck’s group specialized in unique time signatures, and Joe created amazing rhythms within them. Yeah, Rich was the bigger star, but Joe was the best drummer on the planet.
I love Cruppa and Rich because you have to respect all of the great drummers.
I got to hear them play at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1965. It was amazing. Desmond looked like he’d slept in his suit and walked off stage when he wasn’t playing but he played beautifully.
I was there also. Seems he played about an half hour solo with at least 5 standing ovations during. Thanks for the memories. John t Humphreys of the Dillarfs
RUclips is a nuisance with the ads interrupting the performance but Joe Morello is one of the all time greats 👍🏿
Use an ad-blocker or two. The ads don't appear, and although RUclips may again insist on your allowing ads, the blockers will work again after a day or so. And so it goes.
A jazz critic in Japan used to say, newbies who bought Take Five takes a year to notice the awesomeness of Joe's drumming. Hats off.
The best !!!
Sencillamente.Una maravillosa actuación y una técnica fantástica 👍👍
I agree!! I used to think Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer but Gene Krupa,Louis Bellson, and Joe Morello are all outstanding in jazz drumming too!!!!’ They set the bar of excellence oh so high!!!👏👏
... also, Big Sid Catlett.
Simply magnificent
I’ve never heard a drum solo that didn’t have a single groove in it, groove so hard.
I used to think that Buddy Rich was the best drummer ever, but after seeing this guy, I'm having some doubts.
He certainly comes a close second
Ils sont de la même école, très bons tous les deux avec chacun sa touche. Mais un régal d'avoir des as comme ça !
Buddy Rich ain't shit next to Morello. Technique, maybe. Imagination, nope. Building awkward polyrhythms, Rich doesn't even enter into the equation. Even he admitted Morello was his equal. Rich played big band, Morello small unit progressive jazz. Big band is about being a clock. This stuff takes a wildly more imaginative approach. Listen to more small-unit stuff, especially Brubeck on Jazz 625. Oh, and by the way, Rich wasn't legally blind.
Buddy was good at driving a band. But as a soloist he was just a show-off. There are many drummers who were much more melodic and creative musically.
@@jonl1034 he wasn't even exceptional at that.
Where would John Bonham have been without Joe?
Holy .... out of this world
This is artistry on next level.
Joe was one of, if not THE best jazz drummer of all time (GOAT). Many pop/rock fans have never heard him because they don't like or listen to jazz.
And to their loss!!!!!
If he was the best jazz drummer, then he was the best drummer, period.
Badass! Enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing.
