Joe Morello. What a class act he was.

[@Dmitriev49]

That's thru!

[@trappenweisseguy27]

Looks like an accountant, hits like a gorilla 🦍.

[@ashhodson2063]

Only Buddy Rich could ever match him for me. Both different though. Epic era!

[@jmfs3497]

That first 6 seconds of drums is amazing. I want to put it on a loop and just vibe. Drumming is more about keeping a feel than keeping time to me.

[@donnaluch4344]

My older brother got me hooked on Take Five when I was 7 or 8 years old. My brother was a tenor sax player, too and my dad played piano. Been hooked on this for over 60 years. It’s my go-to song to relax!! Love ❤️ it.

[@snagrbuster7343]

Isn't "Take Five" Beautiful??!! Yeah Paul Desmond Wrote it!!

[@RRTNZ]

As great as Desmond, Wright and Brubeck are there's something quite special about Joe Morello, from the light touches of the intro to the bombastic solo. Could listen to this for all eternity.

[@allenhonaker4107]

When everyone else was listening to the Beatles and the Dave Clarke Five I was listening to Dave Brubeck Stan Gets and Paul Butterfield and I don't regret a minute of it. 😊

[@alanjones9909]

As well as superb musicianship look at the turnout. Suits ties haircuts. Joe morello looks like a drum salesman. Absolute musical genius!!!

[@snagrbuster7343]

I'm sure you meant Stan Getz. Dave Brubeck, and Paul Butterfield, all great Jewish musicians!!!

[@GH-oi2jf]

@@snagrbuster7343-- Dave Brubeck was not Jewish. His surname derives from a German name associated with a place, and not known as a Jewish name. His mother's name (Ivey) is Norman in origin. Later in life, Brubeck became Catholic. Butterfield? I doubt it, not that it matters. Some people say so, but that means nothing.

Потрясающие музыканты всех времён!!!

Un chef-d'œuvre. 🎶🍷🇨🇵🎶

[@ferminbarajaspazos6853]

Tema y grupo inolvidables, con un Joe Morello magistral.

[@luvgabriel]

This is absolutely the best version of "Take Five". Ever. Simply sublime.

[@richard3a1]

You should see the version that they did on Playboy's Penthouse; it might give this one some competition.

[@wotireckon]

You should also check out 1966 Live in Germany version - my personal favourite.

[@atombomb31458]

i agree...some came close--but this one was the sharpest

[@FoundationDrumAcademy]

Joe Morello... absolute mastery!

[@snagrbuster7343]

I'm So glad that Mr. Paul Desmond Wrote the song that put Dave Brubeck in the Jazz hall of fame, and gave him his lifetime achievement award and of course this Song was "Take Five" (Composed by Paul Desmond)!!😊

[@andymoore9977]

Complete mastery of the piano.... very special. And also - teamwork makes the dream work!

[@danieldubeihuntingdon]

This looks lovely, and it's always great to hear this version again and again, but honestly, I LOVE the black and white version.

[@MrDanilop45]

Love it. This is the meaning of the word “elegance”.

This composition is of immortal value.

Es un deleite escuchar la batería en manos del gran Joe Morello con una fineza y elegancia característica de él.

Immortal performance by these gentlemen Unfortunately, they have gone They have left these legendary performances

[@siber5520]

Замечательные композиции,классика!

[@TomMannis]

That colorization is pretty good.

[@TheEleatic]

Desmond really takes it up another notch, and the others follow.

[@richardboughton8338]

All taking subtle cues from each other. Brilliant.

[@miguelgraham6096]

The best jazz Ensemble ever to be created, you go boys, love love love this group

[@erikthorsen9267]

[@ACLOCKWORKDRUMMER]

Wow!! Joe morello ..using matched grip and no MOELLER technique? Probably some of the best Morello I've ever heard..great video

[@SatomiForward]

Brubeck Notification Squad!!!. What a perfect Wednesday.

[@Cimbix]

Woah! This is amazing! It's nice to be able to see this performance in color.

[@lapaylor4039]

LOVE this song and rendition

[@benjaminperez6620]

The drummer is the coolest guy

[@stevelaferney3579]

Dear Officials at the Official Dave Brubeck Channel: I’m 69, M, former musician, love Take Five since first hearing it way way back on its first airing and I love B/W original prints for their original honesty and feel. I detest colorization as it looks and feels contrived detracting from the whole creation. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Please keep this in mind for the future. Thanks for the great music. What a group.

[@ANILKUMAR-zh6ws]

Non off one can touch this music no one very class and wonderful love it.

[@artmichel5572]

Rick, I can't get enough of your talent(s)! You and I share an appreciation for music of many types. I too have enjoyed this sound for many years, maybe my having lived in Europe helped me to appreciate it. Keep it coming, brother.

[@andym28]

Looks cooler in black and white.

[@franciscolopez1917]

Perfect Piece of High Jazz...! The Squad strikes again...!!!

[@AsakazeTom]

I'm from Japan!! I love this song very much! I can see they are playing in front of me!

Thank you so much for the video and the efford... This Take Five's version is one of my favourites... So interesting to see in colour. Greetings from Spain.

[@michaellivezeanu-mu6bm]

Die beste Version des Classikers die ich jemals gehört und gesehen habe

[@Rickky1971]

Them drums and sax are so damn sexy to listen to!!! This is audio art at its finest!👏👏👏👏😀😀😀😀😎😎😎😎

[@jmfs3497]

I didn't grow up on jazz music, but a drummer shared this on a message board as her Ah-Ha moment of ride playing,. I have had this thing on loop now for a few solo practices. Joe Morello has relaxed flow in everything. There are a couple videos out there that have that Ah-Ha moment for me now. Long live the library of Alexandria.

[@johnmc3862]

Some incredible detail coming through with those colours!

[@user-ny1nc4ke3d]

Absolutely

[@lonely_ghost9857]

Joe Morello. Gah DAYUM that guy may be one of my favorite drummers of all time ever since I found this song and one of the main reasons I got into jazz

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Dave was a Jewish California cowboy turned Jazz God. And the world will always be a better place because of him 🙏

Old school ,accuraat bij de les in alles voorkomend ( discipline) dat woord samen met focus. Art .

[@musictrainman]

I’m very fortunate to have Dave Brubeck autograph Doug Ramsey’s book: Take 5: The Public and Private Lives of Paul Desmond. Priceless! He rarely gave autographs. He autographed my copy of the book during dinner following his concert at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga, CA on August 26, 2005.

[@chrishutton-ce3ch]

classicly trained muscians its good work

[@chrishutton-ce3ch]

love it

[@cismercier8009]

The colours are a little funny (e.g. isn't the metal on the inside of the piano usually gold-coloured?), but they bring this beautiful version even more to life. Thanks.

[@robertpeter1263]

Super!!

[@ersafeguard]

This is awesome! IN LIVING COLOR! yessssssss!

[@js4187]

Love seeing someone playing with a matched grip .

[@MobyFromBrainPop]

That “someone” was an absolute legend. I’d say Morello’s a better drummer than BR. The grip, speed, and knowledge of Buddy’s drumming is nothing compared to Morello’s.

[@js4187]

@@MobyFromBrainPop It would be a battle royal. Although I wouldnt put Morello that far ahead of Buddy if indeed he was .

At the end of his solo, Desmond quotes from his composition "Take Ten."

perfection

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Some tips to understand the video: Dave Brubeck observes any member of the quartet who is soloing. Firstly, Paul Desmond is soloing. Dave must watch him to see when Paul will give a hint that he is finishing the saxophone solo improvisation so that Dave can change the pace and start his improvisation. (That happens at 1:50 min of the video; Paul raises his saxophone slightly, then finishes with a few bars of simple handout notes). Then after he finished his solo, Dave turns to Joe (4:40 min) to prepare for drums solo. Then Joe Morello is soloing on drums; Dave is turned towards him, observes Joe's solo and spots a moment when Joe signs to Dave (6:23) and hands him the lead.

[@NapoleonPicard]

Incredible

[@Droningonuk]

Magnificent!!!

[@pinheiroclaudio]

Paul Desmond is the best sax Mi bemol

[@charlesbarry971]

Great block chords 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jamesroecker6436]

Wish names of quartet were given. They all are so talented & deserve mention as does Joe and the bassist.

[@kensurratt2729]

My favorite non Rock band. I remember in the 60's walking to a store with a older cousin , she had her transistor radio on a Top 40 station. All the rock songs you could march to 1,2,3,4 all of the sudden a compound time song came on 5/8 I was totally confused I couldn't walk anymore until I found the 1,2,3 1,2 rythm loved Brubeck ever since then. Guaraldi close second.

[@jandiragonzagadesouza1060]
