My mother was a Brubeck fan long before I was born. For her 80th birthday I got tickets to an intimate concert in a small hotel venue. Festival seating. She asked if I could find seats where she could see his hands on the keyboard. I stood in line for close to three hours in 100° heat and got second row center! My proudest moment as a mother's son.
From a rebellious old teenager in the early 60s to 72 years old in 2024, still the same reaction, stunned silence, tears, overwhelmed by deep internal sadness.
I remember when I heard it the first time playing in the radio. I was 12 years old then and asked my father:" What's this?" He looked up from reading the newspaper and grinned:"It's good, isn't it?" I am 72 years now...
Remember that Brubeck cancelled an entire jazz tour of the US South when promoters insisted he replace Eugene Wright with a white man. A man both musically and morally at another level.
J.L.C.O. has a really good concert honoring Brubeck here on YT. Wynton Marsalis says, during the intro, that Brubeck stood up for civil rights when others didn't. You're right about him.
Just four distinguished looking gentlemen playing a piece of classical, artistical, musical jazz and not even breaking a sweat doing it. Dave Brubeck, playing the piano like a boss and watching everyone else play with admiration in his eyes. Paul Desmond owning the sax like he was born with it in his mouth. Eugene Wright making love to that bass like it was his wife of 50 years. Finally Joe Morello playing that drum solo like he could do it in his sleep forever. These men were legends of Jazz and they knew what they were doing! 🎻🎻🥁🥁🎷🎷🎹🎹🎼🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶
In the 1980s I lived in Edinburgh (capital city of Scotland) and one day in June 1984 I was walking down Castle Street going home from work. Coming up towards me were a lady and gentleman, by their clothes, Americans. As they came nearer I realised that the gentleman was Dave Brubeck no less. By sheer chance they looked at me, guessed I was local and asked if I knew where the US consulate was. I had the pleasure of escorting the Brubecks there, pointing out a few features of Edinburgh’s New Town. He gave me four tickets for his show at the Usher Hall later that week. I still have 2 and they’re signed.
If that had been me, I would probably be unable to speak at first and knowing who he was and how much I loved and good jazz who knows when I would have spoken again. This is pure class!
He pretty much monopolized precision jazz dynamics in the 60s and 70s. The first bell-less ride cymbals were commissioned by Morello in the early 60s. He didn't want a single joule of momentum being lost to the bell that he couldn't account for in his hands. He was also the first guy to make it cool to whip your sticks around reverse for solos. I imagine he used them a lot more intelligently than I did.
They may look like four accountants, but this is a musical powerhouse right here. Every note is in its place, every break is spot-on. Simply brilliant!
That’s called class. These guys were great artists, elite musicians. The respect they had for the music is reflected in their attire. You didn’t go on stage looking like a burned out pot head or homeless person when you had the great task of playing the only genre of music “native” to the United States. I’m a drummer and have played wearing a coat and tie more than any other attire.
I am a 70 year old guy who was raised on Rock and Roll. I don't think my young ears were mature enough to understand the sheer beauty of this composition. This makes me feel like I am born again to the joy of music.
When I was a kid, jazz used to literally make me queasy. I’ve grown to adore it. Does anyone else feel like it’s the music of what’s happening?! Like, jazz represents the offbeat rhythm of day to day life. It’s the soundtrack to rotating wheels on a car that passes you by. It’s about people living their lives.
@@LarsBlitzer 5/4 is not particularly difficult, it actually swings, just 4/4 with an extra beat to the measure. Listen to the mission Impossible theme. but Yes, Morello was a groove master, one of the smoothest, deceptively subtle drummers of all time, pun intended.

A 11 anni mi addormentavo con la radiolina sotto il cuscino e questa musica mi dava un senso di pace, anche ora riascoltandola sento le stesse sensazioni, come fosse un profumo.
When my son (who can not carry a tune) was little he heard this and said "Dad! They are playing two songs at once!" - I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
@@snausagesmcqueef1604 I would need to write a short novel or make a movie to tell what things I liked the most. Do you remember Truffaut's Les 400 Coups? It's this way.
His music is...unfortunately he wasn’t. Lived a productive life, died at age 91. What a wonderful talent! Sons Chris and Darius following in their father’s foot steps.
Growing up in S. Korea in the early 60’s I had to listen to this EVERYDAY bcuz our daddy played this EVERYDAY. Some 60 years later, I listen to this everyday, almost. Perhaps, Daddy is listening too...
I saw Brubeck 5 times in person and idolized him and the quartet. The last time was in Salt Lake City when as an old man he needed help walking across the stage to the piano. Once he was seated he was the same old Dave Brubeck I knew and loved. There were 3000 adoring fans there for this last concert. He always drew crowds in Salt Lake City. I sure miss that quartet, but can always listen to the many albums I have. Great memories !
I hitch hiked from Philadelphia to somewhere in North New Jersey to catch his act. I had just turned 18. I am now 77 and Brubeck and group still enthralls me.
It's incomprehensible today. These guys playing that fast, improvising with no net, the expensive film spooling through the camera. It comes out so tight and clean. Fantastic.
Not like it matters, this was TV broadcast, with analogue TV cameras and the recording was most likely stored on film but as whole cut piece that was broadcasted not filmed on film. Just if someone was courious.
It's immeasurably brilliant and wonderful, but it's not at all incomprehensible today. Not in jazz, nor in other forms - there are metal bands today, for instance, who are similarly dextrous with time signatures and grooves, and who are similarly exciting but in their own thrilling ways.
It out-miled Miles and his more abstract arrangements that never captured the simplicity or listenability of Mr. Brubeck's flagship composition. As others have noted, it is a legacy live recording which is as much fun to watch as it is to listen to. American jazz, copied around the world, but born and raised in the USA.
@@johnmaer You're right.... and the quality of the recording is awesome... I love watching Dave's reaction to the drum solo....5:53 then he jambs on the piano! Pure Gold.
@@dave-yj9mc Indeed. I thought Ramsey Lewis was new wave jazz in the early 60's but Brubeck and his ensemble set the benchmark or gold standard. Amazing artistry.
Eugene Wright, the Senator, passed away December 30. He's the one on bass, and was the last surviving member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. History passed with him. Thanks for the music and for providing the steady bass beat.
The Senator? Hmmm, I wonder if he was the inspiration for Doctor Senator from Fargo season 4? Took place in 1950/51 and Loy's son was a beebop trump player.
I was so damn mad when I found out. The second to last day of the worst damned year i have ever lived through and 2020 did this wicked thing; took Eugene Wright.
Me too. Always! Between this tune I first heard as a child and a bit later Poinsianna by Ahmad Jamal I then was gifted and hooked onto a different music. Dean Jackson Seattle
First heard it way back in the '60's(anyone remember the '60's),and just listened it now in July,2021.Everytime I hear it I just want to do a Snoopy dance.😁
I love the little moves at the start of Joe Morello's amazing drum solo. Brubeck just turns to watch him. Wright pulls his bass and himself out of the picture so the entire camera focus is on Morello. That's respect.
My father loved jazz music and when played this piece I was mesmerised as a youngster. My father passed away in 2005 and for our reflection, to represent the jazz he loved so much, I had this played, so we could have a few moments to remember the life of Robert James Gray, and to take five...
i think what i like the most about the song is that everyone gets their time to shine for the song. You get the sax solo, you get the piano section, you get the drum solo, and you have the big bass just tying the whole thing together perfectly.
I was in High School in 1967 . The quartet was scheduled to play a gig at the Univ. of Miami , near the pool by the student Union . For whatever reason , it had rained earlier , only about 4 of us showed up . I got to hear " Take 5 " live , sitting about 20 ft away from the band . Unforgettable .God bless them all .
The audience Dave Brubeck made this piece for realy hasn't discovered it yet, I am a 23 year old in Africa and I just found this song and I could feel my soul float in calm in the midst of hard times.
I remember meeting Mr. Brubeck after a concert in Edmonton, Alberta in 78. I was about to shake his hand when he uttered those 4 words I'll never forget, 'don't squeeze too hard'. Words to live by. 🤘
Many Americans squeeze too hard when they shake hands especially Back 40 years ago. Brubeck probably had some bad experiences that he was trying to avoid
While listening to this my 3yo granddaughter walked in and went absolutely MENTAL,she never stopped jigging around the room,she loved this,and asked me to play it again.
The question is, how did the world exist before this? There are a few musical performances that fall into that puzzle, some Bach, some Beethoven, the Mendelssohn Octet, Borodin's first string quartet, Claude Bolling's sonatas for two pianists...
Timeless? What do you mean? It's clearly 5/4, and that time signature, especially in this song which was an advent of it, has solidly stuck around for decades.
My dad was a jazz aficionado. Dave Brubeck was one of his favorites. In fact, I have the Time Out album from 1959 he let me "have". Dad died in 2020. RIP.
I was born In Dec 08 1960 and believe it or not I was born on the same day as Jim Morrison and Richard Pryor and Walt Disney and he died of an over dose in 1960
I’m a very fortunate person because I got the opportunity to interview Mr Brubeck on a two occasions. One of the finest people and best artists of the jazz scene, the positive collaboration musicians - black and white - and examples beautiful fusion in sound and joy for decades.
I introduced my girlfriend to Jazz, unsure if she would enjoy it or not. Take Five was the first song I showed her and she was instantly hooked. Now she won’t sleep without jazz playing in the background haha, thank you Mr Brubeck for everything you have done for music
One of the greatest nights of my life was taking my dad to see Dave. Wow, we were entranced....and Dave came across as the nicest person. I just love how he turns around to watch Joe do his stuff. French grip open handed, played the ride with his right-hand....a pioneer of modern drum playing. Xx
I was 12 when this album came out; mom & dad listened to music like this; I thought they were crazy! They said to me “boy someday you will understand”…I’m 75 now & they were right!
I had the good fortune to see the original quartet in Lausanne, Switzerland during the Winter of 1960. I am still in the groove after all these years. RIP Dave, Joe, Paul, and Gene.
My wife and I were fortunate enough to see this done live here in Vancouver a long time ago just after we had seen the remaining members of the Glen Miller Orchestra as well as the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra all within a couple of year. Saw Miller twice as they showed up a couple of years later. They played in an old horsehair floored dance hall in Vancouver and no they didnt need microphones. They FILLED the place with sound. What an experience.
My dad loved this song, he would always point out, since I played drums, the amazing talent on display here. It’s been 5 years since I lost him, but he’s always here when I listen to this song!
Dave Brubeck's brilliant foot tapping addective world famous music, "Take Five," with the outstanding dominating drum player, added to this wonderful musical video. Golden words of this exciting pulse excellerating music, by Peter E. Farrar.
I love how their looks at one another seem so JUDGMENTAL AND SEVERE, but then when you look again you realize that they're trying to enjoy the incredible performance of their peers while simultaneously concentrating on their very demanding parts. It took 100% from everyone, and the result of their effort can amaze and delight listeners more than half a century later. What astonishing artists. What accomplishment. This is musical treasure.
Apparently he and his wife would have an orgasm after exactly the same amount of time they spent lovemaking - every time - to the second - throughout their marriage. He really was that consistent.
For a while there, it was Jim Easy's introduction music. The superb quality of the music and the host of the show were never to be equaled, man we were so spoiled!
This song will always remind me of growing up back home in NJ. I loved in the northern part so we’d drive back and forth to NY city a lot. Reminds me of being a backseat passenger on the cold winter nights when my father would take us to NYC for Christmas shows, restaurants etc. those nights can never be duplicated.
Believe it or not,I met the Bassist,Eugene Wright fifty-one years ago. I was in the ninth grade in junior high school and he performed with a quartet at our assembly. He even gave me his book which I still have today.
I am glad you met one of these superb musicians. I saw them in 1965 at Northern Illinois University for the first time when I was 18 years old. Some years later I graduated from NIU with a degree in jazz performance and theory which I find sureal to this day. I think Gene Wright is the last surviving member Of the group
All great performances have that element. The iron fist in the velvet glove , the easy made to look incredible, the difficult made to look easy. It's that tension you feel when you see another person in their zone or the flow walking that tightrope that suspends your disbelief. Ahh that is art my friend!
@@charleslaine Fun Fact : Since music began there has been "populist" music that appeals to the lowest common denominator, which gave rise to music snobs and their ilk, off you go and listen to some Henry Purcell old boy wot wot?!
@@charleslaine The fact that you call "today's music" to be throwaway crap just shows how lazy you are. Go find some good modern music. It's out there. Don't expect it all to just be handed to you. That being said, "New Jazz Underground" has a lot of good stuff. That's your freebie.
@@Dr.Garlic. Also, leans towards the truth. You MUST admit, if you are absolutely non-biased, no emotion involved, the more modern sounds these days aren't as sophisticated, not as talented, not as skillful, not as brilliant!!! Don't get me wrong, we have brilliance today! But overall, is all. Overall we have dropped off a bit, music wise. Sound wise.
I grew up in the 70s playing guitar in rock bands. But this kind of music was always amazing to me. I would sit for hours and try to play along with the album and learn new things and broaden my musical knowledge. Still love it till this day. Such an amazing group of musicians on that stage!!❤❤
Dear Tori, I listened Take Five for the firt time when I was eighteen. I suddenly realized that Jazz was my music. 53 years after, I listen to this music and I feel the same beautiful sensation. When I am down I put Take Five and I have that positive shock and I feel young again!. See Dave Bruveck and Paul Desmond and the players is magic! Thanks internet!
I got hooked on Take Five when my art teacher played it while we did our drawings. It was also the first time we had a nude model to draw. Oh to be young again.
What a lot of us fail to realise is both the physical (suits, ties etc.) and emotional (let’s be “looking cool”) restraints that were part of the scene in those days, were arguably responsible for this technical and musical masterpiece. Watching this live clip really highlights the tension, the energy and the synergy between these musicians. They weren’t taking it easy playing some cool jazz. This was serious, intense and tight musicianship at it’s very best. Phenomenal piece of music played by consummate professionals that will stand the test of all time. I have no doubt this will be listened to in 500 years time, and beyond.
Yep, perfectly said. People nowdays look to those times as everything was perfect and beautiful. But what they don't realise is that a lot - and I mean A LOT - of work was put on the image and etiquette to have this kind of appearance. You can be sure that they appear "happy" and "cool" but they probably were as nervous as a person can get to perform live - even in studio - as they were doing here. This can be applied for the whole "TV and Radio" scene of the era - 20s to 60s -

I wonder if people who don't play an instrument understand how hard this is. The timings are impeccable
You need to be ready to blow with this lineup.
As drummer and Percussionist, i admire how well he kept it steady and am intrigued by how everyone was able to maintain that same beat and rhythm
@@HallikTruce1111 I probably would've lost count and that pocket halfway through the solo
As an amateurish drummer, I can handle simple pop, rock, and rock and roll. Jazz is above and beyond me. Wish I could play like that.
I enjoy most music, played very little as a child, not very good. I feel I'm missing a lot not knowing music.
I'm 65 and remember hearing this song while upstairs pretending to be asleep. Sweet...mom n dad were so cool
If only.
The 3rd 👁 era
68 and still saying jazz is the root of all modern music that's gonna last
1'm 67, introduced early too. Mellow sound entering the 60's. Opposite what was happening in the real World.
Funny coincidence. I'm playing it to get my kids out of bed this morning.
A 11 anni mi addormentavo con la radiolina sotto il cuscino e questa musica mi dava un senso di pace, anche ora riascoltandola sento le stesse sensazioni, come fosse un profumo.
When my son (who can not carry a tune) was little he heard this and said "Dad! They are playing two songs at once!" - I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
I've been hearing Brubeck Take Five since I was 16, almost 60 years ago, and it is still perfect. Brubeck is immortal.
Truly immortal!
His music may be immortal, but Brubeck isn't. He died in 2012!
The author in fact is Paul Desmond
@@snausagesmcqueef1604
I would need to write a short novel or make a movie to
tell what things I liked the most. Do you remember Truffaut's Les 400 Coups? It's this way.
His music is...unfortunately he wasn’t. Lived a productive life, died at age 91. What a wonderful talent! Sons Chris and Darius following in their father’s foot steps.
Growing up in S. Korea in the early 60’s I had to listen to this EVERYDAY bcuz our daddy played this EVERYDAY. Some 60 years later, I listen to this everyday, almost. Perhaps, Daddy is listening too...
James D Robertson keep it to yourself.
James D Robertson ego trip
He's dead, isn't he? If so, he can't see you. He's in one of two places, neither of which has a view of Earth

@James D Robertson chill out, dude
I saw Brubeck 5 times in person and idolized him and the quartet. The last time was in Salt Lake City when as an old man he needed help walking across the stage to the piano. Once he was seated he was the same old Dave Brubeck I knew and loved. There were 3000 adoring fans there for this last concert. He always drew crowds in Salt Lake City. I sure miss that quartet, but can always listen to the many albums I have. Great memories !
I hitch hiked from Philadelphia to somewhere in North New Jersey to catch his act. I had just turned 18. I am now 77 and Brubeck and group still enthralls me.
youre 77??
It's incomprehensible today. These guys playing that fast, improvising with no net, the expensive film spooling through the camera. It comes out so tight and clean. Fantastic.
Not to mention the fact that the song is in 5/4 time, as opposed to the typical 4/4
Have you heard Charlie Parker play, he was a bit fast !
I wouldn't be so sure.
Not like it matters, this was TV broadcast, with analogue TV cameras and the recording was most likely stored on film but as whole cut piece that was broadcasted not filmed on film. Just if someone was courious.
It's immeasurably brilliant and wonderful, but it's not at all incomprehensible today. Not in jazz, nor in other forms - there are metal bands today, for instance, who are similarly dextrous with time signatures and grooves, and who are similarly exciting but in their own thrilling ways.
Probably the most quintessential cool jazz track ever made.
It out-miled Miles and his more abstract arrangements that never captured the simplicity or listenability of Mr. Brubeck's flagship composition. As others have noted, it is a legacy live recording which is as much fun to watch as it is to listen to. American jazz, copied around the world, but born and raised in the USA.
Goat
@@johnmaer You're right.... and the quality of the recording is awesome... I love watching Dave's reaction to the drum solo....5:53 then he jambs on the piano! Pure Gold.
@@dave-yj9mc Indeed. I thought Ramsey Lewis was new wave jazz in the early 60's but Brubeck and his ensemble set the benchmark or gold standard. Amazing artistry.
Never too late to wake up
Hot jazz ! All instruments , and musicians great - quite special for the era , for sure !
Love is when someone looks at you in the way Brubeck looks at saxophonist
Eugene Wright, the Senator, passed away December 30. He's the one on bass, and was the last surviving member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. History passed with him. Thanks for the music and for providing the steady bass beat.
The Senator? Hmmm, I wonder if he was the inspiration for Doctor Senator from Fargo season 4? Took place in 1950/51 and Loy's son was a beebop trump player.
R.I.P.
Didn't know he passed, R.I.P Gene..
Bang on George!
I was so damn mad when I found out. The second to last day of the worst damned year i have ever lived through and 2020 did this wicked thing; took Eugene Wright.
It doesn't even feel like an odd time signature. The stability is incredible. One of the best pieces of music ever written.
Oh yeah
Bring on the heat.
Take an aspirin and get some rest!
Ginger Baker wrote "Do What You Like" (Blind Faith album) in homage of Take Five. Same 5/4.
YES!!
"....written. " And performed!
I love how Dave Brubeck listens carefully and calmly turns around after the solo ends, it's so classy.
I think the word "sublime" was invented for this song and these musicians. My favorite since I was a small kid. Love, love, love this.
I think you are right on sublime and slightly inferior, I add, the creation of word awesome for our drum soloist❤
Accidentally clicked on this.
One of the best mistakes of my life
There are no accidents
@@ivanvaldes6567 Master Oogway is that you?
Same! That was amazing.
Mistakes Can Be Great Discoveries
They say jazz is built on happy accidents lol
I never get sick of it, bored with it -- every time I hear this - it’s like the first time. Pure magic.
Me too. Always! Between this tune I first heard as a child and a bit later Poinsianna by Ahmad Jamal I then was gifted and hooked onto a different music.

A departure from 4/4s rhythm we hear the other 99.9% of the time. Hail the 5/4s.
Same here..class personified,and a time I’d quite easy return too,if I could.
First heard it way back in the '60's(anyone remember the '60's),and just listened it now in July,2021.Everytime I hear it I just want to do a Snoopy dance.😁
Yeah
My husband introduced this fabulous music to me and I play it when I’m feeling low.
I love the little moves at the start of Joe Morello's amazing drum solo. Brubeck just turns to watch him. Wright pulls his bass and himself out of the picture so the entire camera focus is on Morello. That's respect.
A glass of whiskey and a cigar appeared in my hand while listening to this.
Jeje too funny
i've had it already...
I had wine and a cigarette.
Eases my soul.
Denizhan Özcan old scotch and custom blended pipe tobacco wound up in mine at sunset
Isn’t it amazing how Dave is both the performer and the audience, the way he watches others’ solos. Beautiful.
That’s jazz for you!
and a tiny bit creepy! 😀
@@odd-looking-dude That's how the music for adults sounds like.

Great comment.
My father loved jazz music and when played this piece I was mesmerised as a youngster.
My father passed away in 2005 and for our reflection, to represent the jazz he loved so much, I had this played, so we could have a few moments to remember the life of Robert James Gray, and to take five...
i think what i like the most about the song is that everyone gets their time to shine for the song. You get the sax solo, you get the piano section, you get the drum solo, and you have the big bass just tying the whole thing together perfectly.
This was filmed almost 60 years ago but the video quality is still better than security cameras
True 😂
Analog.
You must work where I do.
And still better than the iPhone camera.
😂 Yes... security cameras are crap. I don't know what's the point.
Spent an hour just listening, smiling and reading the comments
Time well spent
Thank you Gentlemen
I totally agree with you, very enjoyable 😀
You're welcome.
Indeed
doing same.... and thank you. Awesome video!
Technictime Tech me too😂😂👋👋
The tune makes your soul ‘’take five’’ while being at the apex of life.
I was in High School in 1967 . The quartet was scheduled to play a gig at the Univ. of Miami , near the pool by the student Union .
For whatever reason , it had rained earlier , only about 4 of us showed up . I got to hear " Take 5 " live , sitting about 20 ft away from the band . Unforgettable .God bless them all .
The audience Dave Brubeck made this piece for realy hasn't discovered it yet, I am a 23 year old in Africa and I just found this song and I could feel my soul float in calm in the midst of hard times.
Paul Desmond introduced me into Jazz, still grateful thank you
Man Jazz is like one of the best Genres of music listen to Charles Mingus next.
Well, actually, many of the people for whom this was made found it long before you were born, but it's great that you have found it too
Here's another gem: Bill Evans and Stan Getz. ruclips.net/video/cPDjojyKCBg/видео.html
Cool, Mayuu. They're amazing. Enjoy!!
I remember meeting Mr. Brubeck after a concert in Edmonton, Alberta in 78. I was about to shake his hand when he uttered those 4 words I'll never forget, 'don't squeeze too hard'. Words to live by. 🤘
Provably meant it literally. If he injured his hand be would not be very pleased.
@@Nwmguy probably because he still suffered pain due to an accident he had
That was perhaps the tour I so fortunately heard him and the group play at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington.
I’m from Calgary ..it’s cool to read your post
Many Americans squeeze too hard when they shake hands especially Back 40 years ago. Brubeck probably had some bad experiences that he was trying to avoid
I love the way Dave Brubeck looks on Paul Desmond with such admiration as he’s playing the sax solo. What a band.
Real knows real.
@@trackerbacker pretty ez to look at Paul that way. But, ur point is well taken
The look on Dave's face said: "He wrote it... this is how you play it. "
So ture, but Brubeck was also cross-eyed (hence the specs) so his stare is also a bit peculiar.
@@ellenmmartin u right. That fucka was cross eyed as phuck
This is one of the most iconic jazz songs ever
While listening to this my 3yo granddaughter walked in and went absolutely MENTAL,she never stopped jigging around the room,she loved this,and asked me to play it again.
How is this music even possible? Timeless masterpiece.
The question is, how did the world exist before this? There are a few musical performances that fall into that puzzle, some Bach, some Beethoven, the Mendelssohn Octet, Borodin's first string quartet, Claude Bolling's sonatas for two pianists...
awsome
@@winstonelston5743 Brubeck was classically trained, his teacher was Darius Milhaud
@@DSAK55 I can hear it in his solos, where did you learn that?
Timeless? What do you mean? It's clearly 5/4, and that time signature, especially in this song which was an advent of it, has solidly stuck around for decades.
My dad was a jazz aficionado. Dave Brubeck was one of his favorites. In fact, I have the Time Out album from 1959 he let me "have". Dad died in 2020. RIP.
Sorry for the loss of your dad. He passed on something truly wonderful: the love of great musicianship. Exactly as should be, a joyful thing.
I was born In Dec 08 1960 and believe it or not I was born on the same day as Jim Morrison and Richard Pryor and Walt Disney and he died of an over dose in 1960
he was a Carpenter during the day and he played the harmonica at night music was I believe it what kaep me going
you please call harmonica
I no I was born on December 1960 the same day Morrison was born
thanks for your patients I hope that helped with
I’m a very fortunate person because I got the opportunity to interview Mr Brubeck on a two occasions. One of the finest people and best artists of the jazz scene, the positive collaboration musicians - black and white - and examples beautiful fusion in sound and joy for decades.
I introduced my girlfriend to Jazz, unsure if she would enjoy it or not. Take Five was the first song I showed her and she was instantly hooked. Now she won’t sleep without jazz playing in the background haha, thank you Mr Brubeck for everything you have done for music
Jazz is the best sleeping music. Chet Baker, Coltrane or as I've been listening to this month, the Peanuts Christmas album.
They're all gone but their music lives on....certainly a kind of immortality.
Brubeck once told me about Take 5 "If the song's good, it never gets old."
I danced to this in school when I was sixteen, I loved it then, and still do now, sixty years later.
@@lesleyhawes6895 The best groove an rhythm. Such a master.
Historical words. He is right. It never gets bored. Stay cool greetings from Holland
Take five never gets old. It’s still vibrant and ongoing in 2021.

I miss you mom!
Wow. My dad is still alive and this is one of "Dad's Classics" the whole family knows. Nice to find others with family cones to the music.
Same same here. I’m 67 now and it Still Hits me Hard. My daddy was Way Cool; woohoo!!! We lucky. 👍🏼🖖🏼👏🏼
@@hildawallace7691 We certainly are my friend. We most certainly are. 🥣
Good
One of the greatest nights of my life was taking my dad to see Dave. Wow, we were entranced....and Dave came across as the nicest person. I just love how he turns around to watch Joe do his stuff. French grip open handed, played the ride with his right-hand....a pioneer of modern drum playing. Xx
I just love reading the comments here, so many people that had their lives touched by this wonderful music, including me.:)
I was 12 when this album came out; mom & dad listened to music like this; I thought they were crazy! They said to me “boy someday you will understand”…I’m 75 now & they were right!
Used to watch them at Guido’s Blackhawk Club on Hyde Street in SF. We were kids and we sat in the chicken-wire pen.
I fell in love with them when i was 1week old.
@@ResonancerTube 75 years old or one week old; we both got it!
Born in 1947 or 1948? Either way, you are older than I am--I remember hearing this great song.
And all these years later, some 28 year old (me) is still listening to this absolute masterpiece. Speaks volumes to how timeless this is.
I had the good fortune to see the original quartet in Lausanne, Switzerland during the Winter of 1960. I am still in the groove after all these years. RIP Dave, Joe, Paul, and Gene.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to see this done live here in Vancouver a long time ago just after we had seen the remaining members of the Glen Miller Orchestra as well as the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra all within a couple of year. Saw Miller twice as they showed up a couple of years later. They played in an old horsehair floored dance hall in Vancouver and no they didnt need microphones. They FILLED the place with sound. What an experience.
This drummer is an inspiration to anyone that's interested in drumming 😮
I have heard that Joe Morello was a big influence for John Bonham of Led Zeppelin.
@@danielcobbins8861i Heard it too.
Yeah but where's the double bass
I read that Karen Carpenter's love of drumming included learning 5/4 time and this particular song, but I can't find a video example of it. Anyone?
Joe Morello was blind
My dad loved this song, he would always point out, since I played drums, the amazing talent on display here. It’s been 5 years since I lost him, but he’s always here when I listen to this song!
❤ un capolavoro !
4 years without my dad. Same, brings tears, a smile & my dad next to me everytime I hear it😢❤
Dave Brubeck's brilliant foot tapping addective world famous music, "Take Five," with the outstanding dominating drum player, added to this wonderful musical video. Golden words of this exciting pulse excellerating music, by Peter E. Farrar.

Absolutely beautiful! A masterpiece in Music History

I love how their looks at one another seem so JUDGMENTAL AND SEVERE, but then when you look again you realize that they're trying to enjoy the incredible performance of their peers while simultaneously concentrating on their very demanding parts. It took 100% from everyone, and the result of their effort can amaze and delight listeners more than half a century later. What astonishing artists. What accomplishment. This is musical treasure.

@@xSixtus Also crackhead Ric Flair so...
funny,
For a while there, it was Jim Easy's introduction music. The superb quality of the music and the host of the show were never to be equaled, man we were so spoiled!
This song will always remind me of growing up back home in NJ. I loved in the northern part so we’d drive back and forth to NY city a lot. Reminds me of being a backseat passenger on the cold winter nights when my father would take us to NYC for Christmas shows, restaurants etc.
those nights can never be duplicated.
Believe it or not,I met the Bassist,Eugene Wright fifty-one years ago. I was in the ninth grade in junior high school and he performed with a quartet at our assembly. He even gave me his book which I still have today.
So cool!!
That is very cool.
I am glad you met one of these superb musicians. I saw them in 1965 at Northern Illinois University for the first time when I was 18 years old. Some years later I graduated from NIU with a degree in jazz performance and theory which I find sureal to this day. I think Gene Wright is the last surviving member Of the group
how lucky!! I would've loved to see a jazz performance at my school.

The beauty of Brubeck‘s solo ❤
It's always amazed me, how a band could be SO LOOSE and yet SO TIGHT at the same time!
Incredible.
Username checks out.
high art, timeless...
All great performances have that element. The iron fist in the velvet glove , the easy made to look incredible, the difficult made to look easy. It's that tension you feel when you see another person in their zone or the flow walking that tightrope that suspends your disbelief. Ahh that is art my friend!
Try Ian dury and the blockheads. Different style but loose and tight
tight fit
My god, the talent of these 4 musicians. Synthesis without a synthesizer.
Compare it to the garbage of today's Spotify or whatever auto-tuned throwaway crap is in rotation these days.

@@charleslaine The fact that you call "today's music" to be throwaway crap just shows how lazy you are. Go find some good modern music. It's out there. Don't expect it all to just be handed to you. That being said, "New Jazz Underground" has a lot of good stuff. That's your freebie.
@@Dr.Garlic. Also, leans towards the truth. You MUST admit, if you are absolutely non-biased, no emotion involved, the more modern sounds these days aren't as sophisticated, not as talented, not as skillful, not as brilliant!!! Don't get me wrong, we have brilliance today! But overall, is all. Overall we have dropped off a bit, music wise. Sound wise.
I grew up in the 70s playing guitar in rock bands. But this kind of music was always amazing to me. I would sit for hours and try to play along with the album and learn new things and broaden my musical knowledge. Still love it till this day. Such an amazing group of musicians on that stage!!❤❤
Love the Dave B smiling in background exactly captured by cameraman, awesome style and pure jazz groove
Yes, the Camera was in just the right place, framing Brubeck inside the Sax !!! 🎶😀
You've heard the term 'cool'. This is the definition of it.
You are spot on the mark. This piece is sheer class and perfection.
Jimmy Balantyne Yes it is.
You've heard the term "mediocre." This is the definition of it. Brubeck was totally bogus improvising.
And Miles Davis gave birth to it
@@peterjandros2173 You have to admit that Morello is one of the all-time greats though
i think joe morello's drumming is some of the most tasteful I have ever heard.
Agree 100%! So cool!
As i pointed out, many consider Joe to be the best drummer ever. Its like he's wearing VR glasses, he rarely looks at his set.
Yeah
He's so deft! I mean, it's like he has a light touch, full of nuance and color, but he keeps the beat going too.
@@dalegreer3095 Exactly! Too many (most) drummers think thrashing and playing loud is the epitome of drumming. But that doesn't take skill.
Dear Tori, I listened Take Five for the firt time when I was eighteen. I suddenly realized that Jazz was my music. 53 years after, I listen to this music and I feel the same beautiful sensation. When I am down I put Take Five and I have that positive shock and I feel young again!. See Dave Bruveck and Paul Desmond and the players is magic! Thanks internet!
I got hooked on Take Five when my art teacher played it while we did our drawings. It was also the first time we had a nude model to draw. Oh to be young again.
What a lot of us fail to realise is both the physical (suits, ties etc.) and emotional (let’s be “looking cool”) restraints that were part of the scene in those days, were arguably responsible for this technical and musical masterpiece. Watching this live clip really highlights the tension, the energy and the synergy between these musicians. They weren’t taking it easy playing some cool jazz. This was serious, intense and tight musicianship at it’s very best. Phenomenal piece of music played by consummate professionals that will stand the test of all time. I have no doubt this will be listened to in 500 years time, and beyond.
Yep, perfectly said. People nowdays look to those times as everything was perfect and beautiful. But what they don't realise is that a lot - and I mean A LOT - of work was put on the image and etiquette to have this kind of appearance. You can be sure that they appear "happy" and "cool" but they probably were as nervous as a person can get to perform live - even in studio - as they were doing here. This can be applied for the whole "TV and Radio" scene of the era - 20s to 60s -
hey Trent T you seem to know your shit, I would like it very much if you guided me to more such works of tight musicianship and melodious jazz.
@@virajs Don’t really know that much, but you could try Bill Evans Trio ruclips.net/video/uco5FNbjqv0/видео.html
