I can not stop listening to this song. Grandes maestros y grandes maestras

[@Drew1942ch]

BRILLIANT. I have heard many versions, but this version is amazingly creative

[@FranciscoGarcia-si2yw]

Grandes músicos. No hay mejor palabras y mejor comentarios. Todos buenos y buenas. Gracias por compartir

[@dimidomo7946]

Brubeck & Desmond would be awestruck by your version. Tito Puente would sit back and enjoy. This Latin version is fabulous! Arturo Pena and the band members are truly talented.

[@erichvonabele4750]

Very cool! (Although technically, it should be renamed "Take 8" 'cause it's no longer in 5/4 time but now in 8/4)

[@Unatcowomensbathroom]

True!

[@daunteescalera282]

How can you tell if it's in 8/4 rather than 4/4 or something?

[@randomstringofnumbers4246]

@@daunteescalera282 because there are 8 beats every measure in 8/4. in 4/4 there are 4 beats every measure.

[@VictorKDurand]

@@randomstringofnumbers4246 but how do you know how long is one measure ? How can you know if it's a half, a fourth, an eighth and so on without the musical sheet it was written on ? unless if you get it naturally through experience.

[@BrunoNeureiter]

Nice question. I'm following

[@snagrbuster7343]

Dave Brubeck would feel Silly hearing this version, but then again he got fame for what Paul Desmond wrote!☺ These guys are amazing!!

[@simplexj4298]

Wow! A wonderful arrangement, and musicians who know how to bring it to life. I just love it!

[@-Kal-]

I like the choice in time signature and the progressively increasing amount of cowbell.

[@dakshsoni]

Amazing work cheers to all musicians!

[@dimidomo7946]

Arturo Pena and the band members display so much rhythm, it is fantastic; they are truly talented. Each time I listen to this version, I dig it so much.

[@tresbeux]

Excelente 👌 interpretación 👍 👏 maravillosa Banda Latina,.Bravo

[@pqbonita]

Bonito cover , no importa quien la toque. Tito puente es uno de los grandes pero creo que todos los musicos y grupos tienen su estilo unico y eso se respeta. 👏👏👏👏👏

Sencillamente excelente!!!!!! Saludos cordiales siempre desde mi bella Guatemala, la tierra del quetzal y de la eterna primavera

[@anuragkamle1191]

Woowwww you all guys nailed it....suberb creation

[@AndresCorrea-rn1nr]

DESDE VENEZUELA UN GRAN APLAUSO SE LA COMIERON CON ESA PIEZA DE JAZZ LLEVADA AL JAZZLATINO....🗽🗽🗽

[@giovannipinna9242]

Questa versione di teke five è una forza della natura non mi stanco mai di ascoltarla bravissimi complimenti 😍🎷

[@eduardopizani7473]

Magistral, sobre todo porque esta latinizado y no es común. Lastima tan pocos videos en el tiempo. Gracias

[@desertblbuesman]

So glad Titos timing on this classic is being done and hopefully will keep on being played along wiith the original timing too. I think Dave got a chance to have a listen before he died and was probably estatic, because this is how jazz is played. Do your thing! Add something new. YES!

[@SergioMartinsnortwave]

Excelentes arreglos ! Arturo Pena , me gustó mucho el saxo , la percusión y el contrabajo muy bueno . Una mención en teclado buenisimo . Saludos cordiales !

[@julioarellano5154]

Que buen arregló lo seguiré escuchando , que sabor felicitaciones!!

[@jukesjointOG]

Muy Bueno y Excellenté, hermanos y hermana. Awesome.

[@neveralonebytimhedges1840]

Great version similar to Titto Puente but Different arrangement at the end which was nice I will be playing this particular version next Monday here in Thailand I do like the original version but somehow I like this Latin version better and I’ve been working with my left hand to do the piano left hand on the right hand as well which is very difficult but it can be done I liked the saxophone player because of the tone and I had a good control over the instrument very nice to listen to I liked the dizzy Gillespie style trumpet player it was lovely to listen to also And as I’m a piano player I also watched intently at the piano player and saw that he was very disciplined I didn’t spoil anything by going crazy Playing live would have been completely different and people can let their hair down but in a studio it really has to be quite disciplined and time so I really did appreciate this track and I would like to thank you very much for the work you did and getting it finished to perfection

[@gil1961]

Vaya, you guys took Take Five to a totally latino level. Love this version, Que Viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Pa Que Tu Lo Sepa!

[@gil1961]

Vaya timbalero, break it down!

[@mizpahboy7513]

Nothing like some Latin flavor to give it the right pazzaz

[@wyndhl9465]

I adore this arrangement and performance; don't you? Solos are fantasticos.

[@Tumbadoraable]

Excellent arrangement....hats off !!

[@acustico007]

Genial, excelente. Unos de los mejores arreglos de este clásico de Paul Desmond

[@abbasnasir8861]

Love this Take Five version.

[@mohammedtim564]

Magnifique partition de jazz take five en version latino.

[@manooch]

in Latin music, you hear some interesting sounds from instruments unknown for non-Latin people, here for example at 1:44 now you can see what instrument makes that interesting sound!

[@juanbenvenuto-pu3qn]

EXCELENTE VERSION DEL CLASICO

[@yisselc88]

Outstanding job!!! You guys killed it!!!!

[@Miguelito-le9uo]

... very nice !! but lets be honest: THIS arrangement on "Take 5" is from El Rey Mr. Tito Puente on his Album "Mambo Diablo" ... right ?

[@frankyguadalupe1628]

Fiestaypachanga exactly was I was thinking.. Unless he arranged it for Puente.. Maybe he copied it, that's what he meant. They do give it a nice flavor though. I love the way the bass carries the swing!

[@danielreel130]

Corr3ct. Further than that, in my opinion let’s have the jazz players play jazz songs and the salsa players play salsa. There are some genders that shouldn’t get mixed.

[@ibehl]

@@danielreel130 says who??

[@danielreel130]

ibehl Excuse me. What “In my opinion” means to you?

[@blindjjc]

That's true. It should be: Tito Puente version adapted by Arturo Pena

[@antoniorobles_music16]

Yeaaaa Tito puente wow 👌🏻🎼❤️

[@arturogalvanrodriguez8251]

Que agradable sorpresa. Simplemente excelente. Gracias a Dios que siguen habiendo músicos como ustedes y gracias por este aporte.

[@AnDang249]

Amazing

[@yonkportuaolopez9535]

Fabulosoo

[@FernandoRomanP]

Arturo es importante el nombre de cada uno de los músicos para pode comentar en la radio. Excelente arreglo, me encanto.

[@wilfbentley6738]

I am very familiar with the original and I gotta say that this arrangement does the Piece justice very well. Notice that it took 3 percussionists to replace Joe Morello and two players to replace Desmond. How timeless is this piece?

[@mariooiram5955]

Una piacevole versione

[@rominapolesello8053]

Suena excelente, pero al Cesar…. Lo que es del César…. Gracias Tito por esta obra de arte

[@hectorpineda7927]

Yeah !!! true latin jazz

[@andrewtannenbaum1]

Take 15. Tap the 8th notes with two hands and watch the down beat alternate. It kind of feels good once you get it. It seems to extend past a more conventional 7 beats. To play over this or even dance to it fluidly, I would imagine you have to feel 15, as you would 3 or 4. No one has an excuse to say they are bored when they can work on attaing such a distinction in the soul.

[@maricarmenmartinez7632]

Me encanta el ritmo ritmo ritmo.

[@rubatofunki]

take 5 in 4... amazing musicians but i prefer the original time signature. Still a great sound and vibe

[@GGibert]

just like did Tito Puente...

[@JoeFamousOne]

It would sound cooler if they Latin jazzed it in 12345

[@cristiantirri5297]

como puede ser que solo tenga 13 me gusta no me explico esto realmente una marvillahaberlos escuchados ojalá estuviese en el medio del estudio en este momento... sería un sueño...

[@sergiorivera6737]

posiblemente sea por que se estan colgando un arreglo que no es del sr peña si no del maestro tito puente

[@elojeadordevideos]

A mi me han dado ganas de votarle negativo sólo por decir que el arreglo es suyo en vez de poner la verdad: es de TITO PUENTE
