I just found this song.. I can't believe how much I like it. You guys recommend Wagner, which of his works you would recommend the most?

@@4everascending511 , Wagner was a classical music composer. Very different genre to jazz. But great music has no definition or boundaries.

[@jaygatsby1]

The sax player gets a huge smile on his face when he hears those familiar notes after Dave’s intro…….then he quickly realizes he’s gotta do that whole Paul Desmond thing. Atonal and all. Bravo.

Was Dave crying in the middle of his solo??! Everyone are talking about the sound, sax and drummer... but please listen the piano solo. It's so emotional!

[@jond4532]

Yes, I welled up watching him. Dave was telling the story musically, I noticed and had a tear. Well spotted.

My all time favourite song! Was 14 years when I first heard this brilliant number from the album "We are all together for the first time". Now I am 74 and still Jazz music of yesteryears still lives inside of me!!

[@theverbtechnician]

Im a lot younger (42 years) lol.. yet, I still grew up listening to him, being introduced to jazz by my father who is now 70.. so I can say I was put on to some of the finest music and musicians ever at an early age.. I had to be around, like 5 or 6 or so.. so yeah, I literally grew up listening to really good music.. and appreciated it too!

[@Tallinheels]

I heard Dave in 1959 whilst at Berkeley at the Nighthawk. How a pimply kid of 17 in a London Fog raincoat was let in I can’t imagine. I heard MJQ and Ahmad Jamal and Errol Garner during that time. Raves for Dave staying in 5/4 time and not breaking into 4/4. And the drummer…!

[@markvin1234]

These men are not only great musicians, they seem to have a love for each other. They look at each other and smile to acknowledge their fellow musicians talent but to signify their talent. Dave is always smiling at then. Those were the good old times when musicians played without competing with each other. We will never see those days again.

I bet the sound crew was mixing for the live performance. So it probably sounds really good for the people in the room but they didn't record the audio in this video with the mics on stage.

[@SomeDudeThinksSomething]

I‘m „just“ 38 years of age but I fell in love with this song the very first time I listened to it. It got stuck although at the time I had no idea who wrote or played it. Don‘t know how old I was (maybe 16) but if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life (doesn‘t matter if constantly or only when I want) I would definitely choose Take Five! It gets me every time! If I‘m down it lifts me up. If I‘m up it takes me even higher. I don‘t know what exactly it is but for me it‘s just the perfect piece of art. Though I prefer the original recording over this one tbh.

Also, thank you, Dave, for insisting on having a person of color in your most influential years. You helped to break that wretched color line.)

I was at a company meeting few years ago and I think it was a in house quartet and by the time the dinner was done, I stayed back - the only person from the 200+ group - to listen to some good music. The quartet looks like they didn't had to go anywhere else that night and they playes about five more songs. I even asked if they can take a request and the only song I could think of was "Take Five." It was awesome. I still have the recording.
