Joe Morello - TAKE FIVE - Belgium - (1964)

The legendary Drumsolo in 5/4 - the only Jazz Tune ever, who reached the No. 1 Place in the Hit-Parade.

[@nohumbug8636]

Morello is highly respected by those who comprehend his superb talent.

[@insolito83]

Talent? He's a wizard!

[@george7164]

Pay attention kids! This is why music is all about time. Perfection recorded in real time.

[@dougwalker1010]

I love how when Joe plays his solo, Dave appears to sit in wonder at the master doing his craft. Not until he’s nodded to does he turn around to again play. Respect for a fellow artist like that is awesome to see.

[@BeingMe23]

Notice how he never gets to take a break 😒🥵

[@vincetesi7328]

My daughter watched the film Whiplash and was interested in drummers. I showed her some clips of Joe Morello on You Tube. She then wrote an essay nominating Joe for the NJ Hall of Fame. The NJ Hall of Fame recognizes musicians, writers, athletes, actors etc. who were either born in NJ or resided in NJ. I hope the committee inducts Morello, he deserves to be in the HOF.

[@Bonzorello]

That’s awesome!!! Hope Joe gets inducted he really deserves it! And also a big applause to your daughter for doing that.

[@kirkalex5257]

Amazing jazz piece. Take Five. Genius. Have loved it for decades. Truly one of the great joys of being alive. I don't understand why certain folks don't get jazz. I say it's okay to like rock, country, classical; no problem. But man, for my money, jazz beats 'em all. Long Live Mr. Paul Desmond, Joe Morello, et al. Terrific stuff. Thank you.

[@lioncurlew]

Just Superb..

[@NEVOGILDEMAN]

Exact 100%👌

[@jonwingate5535]

Jim Gordon had an album released around 1969 .in my opinion.. Jim Gordon and Joe Morello own the top spots in those times . Maybe today

[@Moluccan56]

100%.

[@marksimpson2321]

Morello's solo is unbelievable! So much from just a 2 tom kit. Absolutely amazing.

[@Saybleu]

A perfect example, why jazz trained drummers are the best drummers in the world.

[@giulioferro8550]

Questo Brano E' MONDIALE , l'assolo raffinato di Morello e' UNICO ! Il pezzo e' Talmente CONOSCIUTO in tutto il Mondo, visto la difficolta' di ballarlo in 5/4, per facilitare era 3/4 ! Era, E', UN CAPOLAVORO JAZZISTICO Interpretato da Joe Morello, GENIO DELLA BATTERIA !!!

[@nohumbug8636]

Never tired of listening to this masterpiece.

[@bertspivey3214]

The GOAT. Aside from that I didn't know all jazz musicians had to wear matching glasses...

[@SACWarrior70s]

JOE WAS EVENUALLY TOTALLY BLIND BEFORE HE PASSED, FOR OVER 10 YEARS, STILL SEEING BLOBS BUT NOT ANY CLEARER IMAGES... SEE HIS CLOSE UP SHOTS...THICK "COKE GLASSES" Even in this older Video...

[@HUGGY-tr4zd]

What a performance. Daves piano would bring a tear to a glass eye 👁😪. Tremendous

[@richardboughton8338]

Joe Morello. Nothing more needs to be said👍

[@youngtevanced8818]

One of the coolest music ever created by the masters.

[@mrjsw820]

Joe playing match grip during his solo. Great, as usual. One of the best!

[@francescoguglielmino740]

Questa opera...e' una attrazione che mi trascina da quando ero diciottenne. Adesso a sessanta anni, necessito ascoltarla. Mi anima come allora.

[@theresasykes8384]

These Gents are Awesome! My uncle was a jazz musician, drummer. I used to listen to the Dave Bruebeck Quartet as a young girl with my uncle. Now I know how fortunate I was to have been exposed to these True Artists....

[@williamlrobinson6293]

Joe Morello is one of best jazz drummers ever!! His talent is beyond words!

[@malcolmshort4690]

Joe Morello is simply the best drummer . I was very privileged to see them live at the City Hall Newcastle , an experience l will never forget !

[@JonHop1]

a drumming god... made it look so effortless.. His ride and cymbal work, as well as his brush work is just incredible man. He looked like he was barely trying.

[@falvegas511]

There are Drummers we call. BANGERS..... And Then There are True Percussionists, as is Joe Morello.

[@slumberlane1897]

The way Dave Brubeck turns around to play the piano is so smooth.

[@stretch54]

Dave's solo is beautiful here. It's so sparse like a Bill Evans solo. Fantastic performance by all.

[@lawrencemahalak6824]

Shreds the solo… then just drops back into the groove like no big deal. A true master.

[@fastacesus8499]

Let's just take moment to enjoy Joe's playing on this - a master of his art.

[@DrumsTheWord]

How does a drummer suddenly appear on the scene in 1959 able to solo and improvise so masterfully in 5/4?! An absolute original and boss.

[@robinharrison6522]

My first album was Dave Brubeck Quartet Goes to College. Still have it. Saw them live as a teenager then again in my 50s. Nobody better.

[@chrisevanz]

Brubeck is so much more introspective in this version and Morello's 'story' is so much more in-depth as a consequence.

[@axlslak]

Joe has to be the coolest square ever :)

[@oldeagle5500]

The real jazz legends, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Joe Morello and a master peice of 5/4 , amazing for good

[@johnhagemeyer8578]

Somethings get old... Not everything. This is one

[@johnsamuel1725]

Saw them at The Festival Hall London many times.A True Inspiration ❤

[@gastoncorti669]

Maravilloso Joe y el cuarteto en esta pieza maestra !!!

[@kevinskuhagen2120]

Masters, each of them. The phrasing, note placement timing and taste are just spectacular.

[@jamesmerriner1513]

Master studies 1 and 2, This is why drummers should study Joe Morello’s books. The master.

[@massvt3821]

5:56 Love the shot where Dave is looking on at Joe's drum solo..

[@pmishke]

Never get tired of watching some real jazz music……Love Desmond he left us way to soon

[@danielcastillo4537]

Tommy Aldridge said that Joe was the reason he became a drummer!

As cool as it gets

[@chandniku1770]

What is cool, his playing or 5/4? 😂😅

[@trackie1957]

It’s spelled “cool”, but it’s pronounced “Desmond”.

[@terrelll.howard8660]

The master does it again

[@simonrusk3338]

These Guys were too Cool 😎 for School!!!!! How good is this!!!!..perfect.. just perfect! If there isn’t a part if your body moving .. your already dead!!!!!🥰🥰

[@florianwolf9380]

Your tax agent, your lawyer and the fellow bankers have popped in for a session - and nailed it, esp. Joe Morello ! This tune revolutionized jazz forever.

[@postatility9703]

A word about Desmond. He came up about the same time as Charlie Parker,whom he admired and even interviewed (still available on KZbin) But unlike a very small handful of alto players of that time(Lee Konitz among others)he sounded nothing at all like Parker. And even to this day, he still sounds like no one else. He was never at a loss for a perfect phrase in solo after solo.Profound beauty blended with humorous quotes was something Paul mastered as no else had or has.

[@jean-luckhechai3526]

Une des plus belles version

Certain players have THE sound THAT sound. Desmond, Shorter, Farrell, in my book the 3 greats.

[@davidtilley7688]

Great

[@jamesrobert4106]

Joe Morello doesn't use a Metronome. Metronomes ask him for timing advice.

[@FirstUsedBooks]

Please don't throw this out with the dish water. It is a great piece of music. Morello unfortunately never gets the acclaim to which he is entitled.

[@kennethpack1963]

No amount of training in the world will teach you how to play like any one of the four dudes in the Dave Brubeck Quartet, you got to have it inside you before you set down to play, that kind of talent cannot be taught...

[@barrydavid5110]

Yes Kenneth....sooo true. 4 great jazz players. This is as good as music can be.

[@spark_6710]

This ...they played take 5 faster live .Which is to me ,sad ...it sounds rushed !! They always played live at faster speeds ! But,regardless,one of the greates pieces ever recorded/ created by a jazz musician !!! Joe Morello was / is one of the coolest/ greatest drummers all time ,very very top notch. 👍 👍👍His drum solo on the original recorded version is a must for listening 🎶 This piece was written by Paul Desmond, the sax player ( you could tell by listening to the weird rhythms / countings ) for his drum solo !! Amazing master piece !!! 👏 👏👏👍👍😍💜🥁🐉🎤💞

[@wilburr1316]

No pressure.. Just play your solo while ol Dave STARES THROUGH YOUR SOUL

[@JonHop1]

Morello had tons of pressure on him from Dave. And Morello handled it like a friggen BOSS.

[@darrylpringle1499]

In bed watching this, quite comfortable.A minute into the song it got cold in here. That'cool these dudes are.Cool n classy looking. What happened to men?

[@alastairstaunton7081]

Does the cameraman/director frame shots to exclude Eugene Wright on bass? Once you're conscious of this, every pan, tilt, and focus seem to be intentional.

[@hunterofliars9600]

I have three drummers in my list of best ever: 1. DAVE WECKL -- Dave is so good he is almost scary 2. LOUIE BELSON -- 3. JOE MORELLO Any of those three kick Buddy (Show Off) Rich out of any stage And also notice how the best drummers in the world are either black African or Italian

Nice try.

🥁4:45 The Morello Solo🥁

[@rhhead]

the beat is there. is this in a movie soundtrack?

[@ocho611]

i wonder why he played the whole solo matched grip

[@terrelll.howard8660]

Did he like to switch up?

[@ochocabra1542]

usually, no. sometimes if he was doing a floor tom-heavy thing he'd match but even that was rare. this was a bit of a different solo than he'd usually do here so maybe he was just experimenting some ideas.

[@Moluccan56]

@@ochocabra1542that’s what I thought.

[@worseto1]

Gene Wright was no light weight and some just say he's that other guy with them.

[@hank1519]

@mug3n If he had soloed, wouldn't the camera have been on him? And this is in Europe, where Black jazzmen went to escape American racism.

[@hank1519]

@mug3n I would like to think that it was an accident

[@hank1519]

@mug3n Looking at it again, I can where your concerns come from. Going side view on Paul Desmond blocks out Gene. Weird and disturbing!

[@hank1519]

@mug3n Now I know that you are right. The Wiki article on Brubeck mentions that he once cancelled a tv performance because the producers were planning on keeping Gene off camera. Disgusting!

[@hank1519]

@mug3n I think that this video treats Gene more fairly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip6QoGt9frKnfrM You don't need to reply to this! 😊
