I love the japanese style on Funk and Jazz of the 70s, the rhithm section is always in first position well ordered and keeps the timing to be always clear what happens to your hears, all the instruments are perfectly audible never confusing, making the sound float in a empty space. Vinyl records are incredibly high in quality and even if 50 yrs old don't give chances to CDs, so? love love love!

[@evanlemmy1888]

The original is by Dave Brubeck and his wonderful Quartet. This version is a tad bit faster than the original, still amazing though. It got its name by taking five "takes" (takes being the number of attempts at recording a song) in the recording session, hence Take 5. It's also I believe one of it's first to be recorded in 5/4ths time.
