      The gentleman who made the requested was a vineyard owner from Napa Valley and after we played Take Five we were very happy to see him coming up to the band stand and filling our tip jar. We were astonished at the end of the night and realised he had tipped us around $600 dollars. I'm ashamed to say we never forwarded Dave Brubeck his share.

    I always think this is a magnanimous piece where he allows Dave Brubeck and Joe Morello room to show what fine musicians they were.

Despite his faults, or in Chet Baker's case because of his faults, Paul Desmond was a popular much respected musician throughout the industry.

However, the True Legendary Greats who Invented and Brought The Drum Set or Kit to the Forefront of the stage with Their Upbeat Syncopated Rudemental Artistic Flamboyant Styles They were Definitely Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and the Great Joe Morello! Even John Bonham said that his most favorite Percussionist was Buddy Rich! Buddy Rich could do Triplets and Sixteenths with One Ludwig 26" Bass Drum and One Ludwig Speed King Kick Drum Pedal! Joe Morello Playing take 5 you can hear him Kicking Sixteenths on his Ludwig Kit/ Single Bass Drum using his Single Ludwig Speed King Bass Drum Pedal! Ludwig is and always will be the Greatest Drum Kit Ever Made here in America North Carolina, Especially, the old Kits from the 30's thru 1980's made in Chicago, ILS.!

    Saw Joe Morello in an open-air concert in Jamestown New York in the mid-60s. What a fantastic performance he put on. A great memory I will always cherish.
    I am not a musician, but in my opinion Joe was the greatest drummer ever!

      In the 70s, saw him w his teenage sons in a small college auditorium. The beginning of a life long love affair w jazz.

    It is difficult to classify a drummer as the best. Each have their own style and technique whether it is Jazz, Rock or any other ilke. Gene Krupa was to Swing as Bonham was to rock. Joe made it look so easy without all of the showing off and flamboyance of other drummers.

      I would say Krupa was to Swing as Charlie Watts was to Swing.

      When I think of Morello in the context of drummers, he has impeccable technique. Morello is also very comfortable playing unusual time signatures and integrating these rhythms in the context of the group. Joe just flows. Listen to that cymbal ride here; just a constant stream of rhythm.

      Yes it's pointless this "of all time" nonsense - music performance and talent isn't a sport. Nobody mentions Ginger Baker do they? You can't compare the different genres. Suffice it to say Morello ran a drum clinic and was highly sought after for tuition. I was lucky to see/hear the Brubeck Quartet playing "live" at the Watford Gaumont Cinema/Theatre in the early 1960s I was about 15 at the time. The quartet's performance was magical. Near the end Joe Morello gave his all in a solo that lasted 12 minutes and as he did so, the other group members left the stage and let him have the limelight. It was stunning and of course he got a standing ovation. I'll never forget that night. Brubeck was quite a comedian talking to the audience in between numbers. Sad they're all gone now. But then we will be too soon, we only rent this space on the planet.

    Joe, so precise yet completely in the groove pocket. So disciplined. Great to see this in color.

    Was there a touch of ad-lib here…their eye contact with each other and slight smiles tells me they were performing more than just the longer version.

    Sometime ago while walking a friend's dog, named Ringo a young fellow working outside saw us upon learning the dog's name he said that Ringo was the worst drummer in rock n roll..He said there is no one better than John Bonham, thee greatest!. Well I corrected him and told him why I thought he was wrong about Mr..Starr. This bleeding had heard of Joe Morello ( no ).and I gave him a brief oral history lon drummers, Morello, Jo Jones who gota standing ovation @ the Newport jazz festival with only a high hat solo.Kids these days.......don't know the difference between a fiddle from a pair a diddle.!!!!

      Comparisons when musicians are this great are losing battles, I guess. MJQ, Connie, and many others are absolutely world class. But, for me, I'll take this Dave Brubeck Quartet.
