Everyone loves a bit of Take Five. This is almost a universal jazz tune. There's not much to say here as such. I'm basically trying to get into that Paul Desmond head space. I tend to think with this one it's all about getting a good swing feel both in the playing the head and improvising. It wants to be light, but purposeful, you're playing behind the beat but you never loose the beat. I guess I'm trying to define that brand of cool, that is truly understated, and laid back but not smooth.
Thanks for reading and watching
This is the way we all hope to play when we first buy a harmonica. Then reality sets in.
lol. It's so easy mindlessly shred on a harp but so hard to play melodies and improvisations even half as cleanly as this guy does. Easily one of the hardest instruments to master and not accidentally play a diad when you wanted a single note.
nemo227 " Then reality sets in. " , just bought my first SW1664 Chromatic , I wanna open a cold can of WhupAzz on reality ( HATE to think I just pissed $70 buks away ). Liked your comment tho'
@@stevehtml5490 I used to be impatient when I couldn't learn something quickly and then I began to understand that we learn what we live with . . .
Lol no truer words have ever been spoken.
@@nemo227wow, I agreed
Its nice to hear a harmonica player with outrageous abilities who can still manage to sound good, and play with soul.
+Gachitadamunga Thank you so much for your comment. That's really nice of you to say.
Charlie Parker take 5 on harmonica superb.
Actually it's Dave Brubeck with Paul Desmond on sax. Paul Desmond wrote the song.
that's a fact 👍👍👍
Philip Achille You got that Turner look. We kin somewhere back.
This blows me away every time I watch it.
I see what u did there
to me too am a great fan
Back 5 years later and still watching. You play with so much feeling man!
*The Return of The King*
@@twinkytwinklier4047 Precisely ... we are waiting for his return. Me for almost a decade.. What mastery .. what rhythm !
Notes are so cleanly played in this rapid jazz piece. Take Five is no easy song to play by any means great job Sir Philip!
3:42 that was a dirty lick, great playing man. Regardless of your absurd technical harmonica abilities you have a really interesting style that really suits the instrument. keep it up
I just got my first chromatic. I am so excited to learn. You’re my inspiration. Im a piano player. But the harmonica’s beautiful color and tone has me enamored.
What harmonica did you get? Just curious.. Good studying!
Vivian Heo I got the SWAN 1248. Love it.
I got the same one, very good
Hey man its been a year hows it going so far ?
A tip if you have the money, buy another brand of Harmonica, I have one and the quality of the build (and the sound) was really bad. it's good for practice though.
Whoa! Such precision with some mighty swing.
Reminds me of hearing Al Jarreau sing/scatting Take Five. Achille demonstrates how expressive the Harmonica can be. Respect. Jam on!
Somebody get this man a beer!! I would pay to get even an online masterclass from him! Christ!
Philip’s skill is impeccable for this piece. 🎼👍🏻 He plays Eb as Paul Desmond’s piece is in Eb. Almost all notes in Eb key on a C chromatic are slide in except some of the hole 7 draw, one hole 5 draw, and one hole 5 blow and some hole 4 draws and hole 3 draws. Lucky this song is short. So the pain to play Eb on a C chromatic harmonica is short.
We recognize a master class not by the hole number, nor after whether the slider is used more or less. One of the factors that indicate mastery in terms of playing the chromatic harmonica it is using multi-voice playing, in thirds, sixths, especially in octaves. Nevertheless, it is true that certain keys for selected songs for the chromatic harmonica there are better ones and some worse ones. For example, we don't like playing Monti's Czardas, however, Hora Staccato Dinicu is played very well.
WOW, I just jazzed in my pants...
hahaha
Well, clean yourself up, y'know!? ;)
emme piemme And this months comment award goes to... 😂💪🏼
A slight breeze just passed by - I jazzed in my pants too.
*We.... I think we all did..* 😳😍❤🎶🎼
wonderful articulation, strong command of the Chromatic.
This really reminds me of my granpa, I never met him he died when I was about 11 months old but appearently he was a great jazz harmonica player, I heard a record of him from 1960...I'd really would like to jam with him as a guitarist...Thanks for uploading dude :) Sounds awesome!
What was his name? The recording might be on you tube.
Yeah whats his name?
That's the finest harmonica playing I've ever seen. You, Sir, have an astounding talent.
You come from M87, right? I dont believe human can play like this. Idk wat to say. It not world class. Its universe class. bro
I was not aware in anyway that you can play JAZZ with the harp! Going to learn some Lee Morgan with my new chromatic! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😁 Also you are a phenomenal musician! Sounded like Coltrane!
*_Wow!! Seriously good man. Kept my interest from start to finish with lovely variation and interesting phrasing. Bravo!_*
Absolutely true
제 가슴깊이 귀 기울여 잘 감상하였습니다.님의 영상에 잠시 넋을 놓다 갑니다.순간 멋진 매력적으로 만들어 버리는 능력이 있으십니다. 우주속같은 알고리즘이 나를 이곳으로 선택해주셨습니다. I listened deeply in my heart and enjoyed it well. I am fascinated by your video for a while. You have the ability to make it a wonderful and attractive moment. An algorithm that looks like the universe has chosen me here. Thanks for the algorithm that made it possible to see a good video. I hope that the disease will disappear as soon as possible, and at the same time, I would like to give my heartfelt praise and support with my heart and sincerity, hoping that your channel will gradually develop and develop into a very large channel. 좋은 영상 볼수 있게 해준 알고리즘에 감사드려요. 가능한 한 빨리 질병이 사라지기를 바라며 동시에 님 채널이점차 발전하여 아주 큰 채널로 발전하기를 진심으로 제 마음정성 가득히 담은 칭찬과 응원을 드리렵니다.
Who are the ones who gave it a thumbs down, I am 77yrs of age and spent my life wanting to be as good as this. Awesome Philip. You are up there with the greats Larry, Toots Etc Etc .should have mentioned your Mentor The Great Jim Hughes.
Only just discovered you from a recent bbc programme on Larry Adler. You have amazing skills and talent. Thanks for a great video.
This is ridiculously good. Tell me he’s famous. This is Toots Theilman/ Madcat Ruth level genius. Mastering the chromatic!! Give me lessons sir please.
Cosmic, new harp player is just blown away by this display of excellence. My aspiration level significantly lifted Philip!
God youre smokin', dude!! True musicianship. I couldn't imagine that one can make solo on modal tune THAT interesting. Thank you for a lot of GREAT licks to steal :)
Gosh! This is crazy smooth! Really proves how mellow a harmonica can sound with the right musician! Wow...
My girl bought me one of these 25 years ago.... Im still trying to master the diatonic.....this is just another level
And I came back again.....just love
Who were the three that gave a thumbs down?!....show yourselves...haha, or at least post a vid of you playing such a song in such a manner. I thought not.
Only crazy people.
Philip, you are a great musician. A master ! Thank you for making this recording.
Wow, amazing!
Unglaublich wie du spielst.
Ich finde es fantastisch.
Welche Harmonica benutzt du?
Viele Grüße und vielen Dank für das tolle Lied, was du und hören lässt.
Viele Grüße

hello friend! Are you using a C tune harmonica?
*JESUS..... CHRIST.* 😱😱👌❤❤
Okay if this ain't music nothing is...
Man I LIVE for the soul you put into this.
Musical goals right here! 👌💕💕🎶
I subscribed by the minute.
This is amazing beyond words... other than “fucking incredible” I can’t even describe this.
What a beautiful rendition of a timeless standard. Love it.
Brotha! I LOVED THIS! Every bit!!!! What chromatic and key? FANTASTIC!
I hope that we meet someday in the near future. You are amazing. Just don't start playing any Blues ok? 😅
Awsome performance! Super tight, great phrasing, great modal noodling, complex splits ... really awsome, great technique and musicality combined!
If Paul Desmond hadn't recorded it with Brubeck maybe Philip would have had a hit record . . .
Watched/listened to your Take Five again. After 3 months it still takes my breath away. Its your masterpiece man... until you come up with another one. Never heard such strong and tasteful use of double stops on harp like this.
Hi my friend, that was the last tune I heard when I left England at 11.
I've been playing for a long time with different people. But I just can't that bending right....Help. point me in the right direction
Dave Brubeck. Fabulous playing, Sir.
comments here capture Philip s outstanding playing. I am still waiting for your comeback for a almost a decade a now. for the Lion King.
Hi. Where can I find valves for my chromatic harmonica in the USA? I can't find any online store that sells them. Hohner's website ran out of stock for a long time by now.
I never thought anything could top Brubeck's original recording.
It's great to be proved so very, very wrong.
I think that I could play Take Five, but it would require alot of practice and repetition. You sir play it perfectly and loosely.
WoW impressive, nicely done..flawless. What key and brand of your harmonica is ? You are pro. Thank you.
It's amazing how when you play your harmonica belongs to your soul. I am a left handed chromatic harmonica beginner. Hearing your make dream ! From Day to Day I Will work to improve my skills in playing harmonica. Thank you for your vidéo. You are for me one of the player I prefer to listen to.
REALLY incredible skills!! Great job! Loving the improv as well.
Oh man, that's good! At first I was thinking that he's just staying in the key, first solo, but then you did something different, something you just don't hear many harp players do. I like how you go back to the head after a few choruses too. Really nice.
Monster....i play harmonica blues but chromatic it's a super level...wow
I wish i could play like that. It be my side gig on the street!!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Unheimlich Bezaubernde 🪄 Variante , Gespielt 🕶️ auf , mit dem Schnauzenhobel 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 Einfach zu bezeichnen als Mega - Genial 📈 . Big Thanks from Good Old Germany 🇩🇪 🙋
wow! this jazzy melody makes me wonder if u could play porco rosso on the harmonica!
Just bought my first harmonica. How many days of practice will it take to learn this song?
not gonna hold back a reaction here... holy shit, wtf did I just heard and watched??? ... what a god
U mean nito ous capabilities! Super sonic . really putting that tongue to work. Got some extra acomponing instruments
Hey I have a question,
What harmonica do you use and in which key is it. Maybe you can help me out
I have gone through a hard time 'taking' just 1. And you are sprucing me up to take five?
Brilliant. My favourite jazz piece ❤
What model harmonica do you use? I'm frustrated by all the missing notes on the diatonics and am looking to buy one myself.
How do I get music and accompaniment for my Super 64 x Hohner?
This is exactly what I was looking for!! You’re so good!!! I’m going to watch this a million times until I can play it!
This performance made me subcribe instantly. My dear, that's absolutely exorbitant excellent!!!

+chrismayka Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for subscribing, it means a lot to me.
@@PhilipAchille Did you play a Suzuki Fabulous in these videos by any chance? Or its a Hohner?
You touch like Amelin!!!
Is what a fantastic condition holy crap!! Thank you for sharing
I just got a chromatic harmonica today and holy crap this thing is impossible to play
Where you can find the tabs? I own a chromatic harmonica for some years now and Im fairly good with it. Wanna try it myself.
@@hector9586 If ur asking for the tabs for Take Five then I don’t know, when I said “this thing” I was talking about the chromatic harmonica not Take five, sry I wasn’t very specific lol
Wonderful, would this be Solo tuned or Orchestra for Jazz?
Este es el comentario en español. Atascadisima y bien rota tu técnica. Maestro
My friend, this is absolutely the best performance of this song I've ever heard. What harmonica is that you're playing?
Such beautiful yet killin' lines. Can't believe I'm NOW hearing about your music.
Genius cover, Getz would approve I think.
I really love your very great playing !
BRAVO Philip !
+Christian MASCRET Thank you as ever for your kind words
Well that made me subscribe. Great performance, Chromonicas are one of my musical passions but I can't play it nearly as good as you do yet.
Playing the changes on such a piece with this much elegance and clarity, I think as a jazz student I'll transcribe it and pick up a lot of licks , best regards great sir 😀
Right?! Lots to learn here
Toots would be Proud!!
This is beautiful! I like how you interpret this song and play with soul. I learnt to play this song while I was in my school harmonica band. Somehow there's a certain distinct difference with everyone playing and a solo. In a band, it seems that the notes have to lengthen... Nevertheless after hearing this song motivated me to pick up harmonica again! Thumbs up for you!
Super Groovy my brother. Jam On.

Mon cousin n'est plus, il joué cette musique sur sa guitare, moi j'ai appris tout seul mais je suis limité, c'est très bien.*
bro how many years do you have to train to be at this level
To play jazz is actually years of practice and exercises
It would take your whole life to learn jazz but, its never too late to learn it...
You have to learn and read Note...than only u can play like this....
Awesome! You're on your way to Lincoln Center in NYC.
In the groove Philip, absolutely Phenomenal...
+Hilvert Scheper Thank you so much as ever for your kind words

I love the sound of these; it always reminds me of the early '80s because there were so many songs that used them.
Superbe BRAVO
