[@jxchamb]

One the greatest pieces of music. I feel like I'm floating or gliding when I hear it. Not sure how to express it better.

[@glennmartin1632]

Tjhis was Jazz in the 50s

[@lisarainbow9703]

One of the coolest pieces of music ever written...

[@ericanderson8886]

Probably the most famous piece of jazz music ever.

[@ramonalfaro3252]

I don't care how cool You are! You are ten times cooler after hearing this Jam!

[@doplinger1]

My parents had this album so I grew up hearing it. Iconic tune.

[@dwhite849]

my Mom too she vacuumed the floor with this shattering windows hearing aid and a vacuum and it was loud

[@CindyEisele-bm9ug]

I’ve never heard this before but I love jazz. It’s energetic

[@AgingDrummerBoy-ly1js]

I've been listening to this song at least once a month for decades just for that good feel good!

[@michaelbaucom4019]

One of the greatest jazz pieces ever written, one of the greatest songs written period.

[@terriertz5134]

I remember my dad listening to this song when I was really young. Dad always had great taste in music. RIP.

[@mikecaetano]

"Take Five" was a top forty hit in 1961. The song takes its name from the fact it is in 5/4 time rather than 4/4 common time. Dave Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, Gene Wright on upright bass, and Joe Morello on drums. I inherited a copy of Brubeck's Time Out album, which features "Take Five", from my mom when I was a teenager in the eighties. Brubeck et al., explore different time signatures on the album -- 5/4, 6/4, 9/8. "Blue Rondo à la Turk" from that album may have inspired Yes. Brubeck also dropped a great live version of the classic, St. Louis Blues, in later years.

[@cherylwoodward]

I inherited my parents album as well. This song has always been a favorite. I have introduced it to my kids as well.

[@fractuss]

There was once a time when a jazz song could be a hit.

[@ronaldstokes4841]

I was around 12 or 13 when I bought this album (better than this live version... the album is a half a beat slower). I remember the story on the back of the album talks of an alien coming to earth and hearing this strange beat. I copied and painted this album cover on my wall in my room and Mom beat my ass! It was later covered over by wood paneling (remember wood paneling?).

[@kestrelle5345]

You can't see me right now but "Jazz Hands".

[@nancywest1926]

Ok, Homer 😅

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

An iconic piece of jazz from 1959. The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Brubeck on piano, with Paul Desmond on sax, Gene Wright on bass, and Joe Morello on drums. The title comes from its unusual time signature of 5/4 (five beats to the bar). If you like this, I'd suggest their track "Blue Rondo a la Turk", and maybe some music by Thelonious Monk (maybe "Bolivar Blues"). And the musician you were trying to remember was Gerry Rafferty :)

[@michaelmolloy6697]

Follow on with Dave Brubeck with Blue Rondo A la Turk. It’s outstanding!!

[@jeffkeith2718]

While listening to this song, in my mind i see Frank Sinatra sitting at the bar, a lit Camel cigarette in the ash tray sipping on a Jack on the Rock listening to Dave playing under the spotlight...... yeah mannn 😎😎

[@antarcticorb9197]

I remember this was all over the radio in the early sixties... I do remember...

[@jhamptonjr]

If Donald Fagan had never heard Dave Brubeck we might not have steely Dan!😊

[@jacqueline4514]

True!

[@perrynelson4254]

Famous drum solo from Joe Morello. (Actually talking about the solo from the Take Five album)

[@africanfartingfrog]

Paul Desmond supposedly opposed briinging in Morello, he didn't want another soloist on stage

[@perrynelson4254]

@@africanfartingfrog Wow!

[@dingleberrysnigglefritz]

Love it. Definition of cool.

[@perrynelson4254]

Good pick! ... And reaction 👍

[@trendydelquendy]

How do you even think in fives? Amazing. 5/4 time is how landlines ring cos it's so jarring to the ear. This is arty beautiful. (Also - look at that pedal hi-hat going through the solo). And the looks around the band for cues. God I miss playing in a band!

[@leonardshevlin7260]

Brubeck performed on college campuses a lot, which helped Jazz music and Jazz musicians. That's how my father became a fan, and decades later he and Brubeck met and had dinner together. This was that kind of country, where you could meet your cultural heroes.

[@mitzifrancis9843]

Heard this back in the early 60s and was instantly captivated by the 5/4 time signature. ❤

[@lisarainbow9703]

Oh man, Biz--- you HAVE to hear Al Jarreau's vocal version of this same song, it will blow your socks off!

[@CindyEisele-bm9ug]

I’d love to hear your suggestion

[@fractuss]

I love the way Dave watches the others as they solo like it still moves him after the many times they have played it before. Respect.

[@JanBear]

That smile you had when the sax came in-that’s the way I feel every time I hear this song.

[@Smootman1]

Keep mixing it up...😎😎

[@maryellenazack4466]

DICK DALE-RING OF FIRE 🏄‍♂️

[@CindyEisele-bm9ug]

Yeah,?like a mix!!!

[@davemacmurchie6982]

Time Out was one of the first LPs I ever bought, in the early '60s and still have it - wonderful.

[@ChristopherGwinn]

One of the all time best Jazz tunes.

[@laurafowler1142]

Love this! Please listen to Booker T & the MGs doing "Time is Tight" full version. Best instrumental I've ever heard, ever.

[@simchabaruch7023]

A one of a kind, must hear is "RAPSODY IN BLUE". Played by the New York Philharmonic conducted by and solos on piano by LEONARD BERNSTEIN. This piece by GEORGE GERSHWIN is listed as orchestral jazz. You must hear.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I was never really a big jazz guy, always respected it, but this is one of my favorite songs...

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Love Rock and Roll and love all the reactin video to all my favorite rock and roll music from the sixties. However, wish there were more reactions to jazz. Jazz was my first love, I was a teenager in my native Denmark in the early sixties, and my friends and I were into Jazz. Copenhagen (30 miles from where I grew up) was the jazz capital of Europe, several American musician lived and played in a very popular club Montmatre. Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster would visit from Hamburg.

[@petermachare5711]

Like another great pianist, Dave Brubeck was a master of time and space.

[@tonydelapa1911]

The late great Mr. Leon Russell, I presume. What an artist! My favorite 60 minutes on KZbin is his 1971 concert “The Homewood Sessions.”

[@petermachare5711]

I learned of Leon when I bought Mad Dogs And Englishmen in 1970, but of course I had heard him many times on record without knowing his name. Got to see him live only once, but what a night! Wasn't it sweet to see what Elton John did for him? Glad to meet a fellow traveler.

[@tonydelapa1911]

@@petermachare5711 yes, Elton offered much more than a gesture as I am sure you know. First class from the album to Leon’s induction ceremony.

[@steevenfrost]

The best driving song. So cool. They are all super talented it looks easy. I notice at he start Dave Brubeck is framed in the saxophist's Saxophone, looks like superimposed but isn't! They played around with time signatures which was really novel for that time.

[@ericvanswoll4611]

I grew up listening to this thanks to my dad, it's a year older than I am. All i can say about this, is if you look in the dictionary under "cool", this has to be one of the definitions

[@jacqueline4514]

Yes! I can tell that you felt the journey of the song ❤ An absolute classic!!!!!! So glad you’ve reacted to some Jazz! Biz, I’ve got two suggestions for more iconic Jazz; “Song For My Father” by the great Horace Silver from Cape Verde (Steely Dan were influenced by him) and “Moanin’” by Art Blakey; PHENOMENAL music 🎶 ❤

[@CindyEisele-bm9ug]

Your suggestions are intriguing

[@tonydelapa1911]

Moanin’ is 🔥There have been some excellent covers by newer artists too.

[@danielperezcabezas109]

I agree with your suggestions,two major pieces of jazz music!

[@mariaportengen2959]

A great jazz classic! 🎷🎷🎶🎶👍

[@BobBlanchardMarketer]

Great artist and song 👍🏻🎼

[@kristahartmann6712]

Immortal

[@overd002]

Joe Morello was an absolute monster drummer. Legally blind his entire life. "During his career, Morello appeared on over 120 albums. He authored several drum books, including Master Studies, published by Modern Drummer Publications, and also made instructional videos. Morello was the recipient of many awards, including Playboy magazine's best drummer award for seven years in a row, and Down Beat magazine's best drummer award five years in a row. He was elected to the Modern Drummer magazine Hall of Fame in 1988, the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame in 1993, and was the recipient of Hudson Music's first TIP (Teacher Integration Program) Lifetime Achievement award in June, 2010." source Wikipedia.

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

Don't know if any other commenter mentioned this, but the tune was written primarily as a vehicle for the Morello solo. (or so I've read). Played this song a lot in my life, and it's always a blast (full disclosure: I'm a guitar player, not a drummer, sax player, or pianist)

[@jonathanlocke6404]

This dude is a beast...He could've been in any power trio he wanted to be...

[@jamestickle3070]

Side note rant… this music video the guys actually playing their instruments! I don’t know when on MTV they changed to faking it for the video but it’s worth something extra to know they’re doing it live on camera.

[@dianegardner7210]

Love this-always one of my favorites

[@miltonslocum8957]

A true masterpiece!!👏🏻👏🏻

[@rumbarey]

This song and the album changed Jazz forever. Blue rondo a la turk was a classic too.

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

Love It!

[@kensolar69]

My 1st 'favorite song' when this came out. San Francisco was a major jazz center in the 50-60's and a leader in moving jazz from the big band style to the paired down quartet-quintet style. This became a jazz style that was used in the 60-70's for TV themes. While Dave made a lot of music, this was known as 'Paul's Song'. This is the crowd that Tony Bennett came out of.

[@runningcathill]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, FROM JAZZ CITY, BUFFALO, NEW YORK .😀

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Classic. It's one of those songs that everybody knows, but nobody knows what it's called. Or maybe that was just me. Either way, still a great, great song, and yeah, you needed to see this one.

[@echopryme]

THE BEST!!! 💯😎

[@stevedahlberg8680]

This is fantastic. And it's great getting to see them all play their instruments in such detail. You probably already know it or have heard it, but one of the early mixes of hip-hop with jazz is Us3 Cantaloop. The rap shows its age but the whole thing totally kills.

[@BillColeExperience]

The saxophone is the most expressive of all instruments. Its sound is as differennt as their are players. Gettig that Paul Desmond "dry martini" sound is the holy grail for many sax players.

[@eriktracy8578]

Thanks for the reaction - you seemed to 'get it'. The jazz rabbit hole is deep - very deep - you can get lost and never want to come out. 😄

[@jamesmanon3000]

The best filmed performance.I love this song.I remember it most on that anti cigarette commercial. From eary seventies.

[@nelsonx5326]

Truely great music.

[@dingleberrysnigglefritz]

Gerry Rafferty. Baker Street is the song you're referring to with the sax line.

[@davemacmurchie6982]

Or maybe Jimmy Giuffre? kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4OunIyFatZ4n9U

An indisputable classic, what a groove!

[@bennemer489]

I was lucky enough to see him in concert twice. Amazing shows. You should listen to the entire album.

[@billc.5861]

I literally was just asked to lean this song on drums by drummer Jeff Campatelli a few days ago. He charted most of it out for me and said learn this. Hahaha. It’s played in an odd 5/4 time beat by legendary drummer Joe Morello So cool

[@JPMadden]

There is an outstanding live performance (8:54 in length) of "Blue Rondo à la Turk" available online. This song has an unusual 9/8 time signature that is often used in Turkish music.

[@CindyEisele-bm9ug]

I love jazz. 🙏for playing this classic

[@watchbizmatik]

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@CindyEisele-bm9ug]

The saxophone is evocative

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

This was pleasant. I don't know enough about jazz to comment intelligently, but i do recognize this iconic song. If you like jazz, you might be interested in knowing the works and story of Jaco Pastorious, the self proclaimed "greatest bass player in the world". I read his fascinating biography a few years back. Another amazingly gifted genius who suffered mental illness and ended up living on the street and dying incredibly young. Very sad story. My favorite perfomance with Jaco is "Birdland" with the group he was in - Weather Report.

[@jacqueline4514]

Yes! Birdland! Manhattan Transfer did a nice version of that as well, but I think Weather Report’s is better 😊. Sorry to learn of his fate.

[@ed.z.]

I saw Weather Report with Jaco at Lincoln Center, NYC. If you want a good entry jazz album it’s “Kind of Blue” by Miles Davis w/ Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly. Then, there is 40 years of records to hear I have all and memorized many when I was young. He plays with only the best musicians. When I met a girl I’d give her a copy of Kind of Blue as a kinda test of good taste. 35 years later we’re still married. She knew no jazz and a few years later she could tell you if it’s either Sonny Rollins, or John Coltrane or Wayne Shorter on Tenor sax.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

@@ed.z. Ha! Love your story of the "good taste" test. Your wife is very lucky to have some one guide her through jazz. I grew up in a very music loving family - classical,opera, show tunes, old timey country (ie:Hank Williams Sr), pop and rock. My family NEVER played Jazz for some reason. I know of some older traditional jazz musicians, just from cultural exposure, but I never tried to really listen until Jaco. I became interested in him because of his tragic story, I had never heard his music. Although I listened to the important songs mentioned in his book, I have to admit that I didn't really feel comfortable listening to "fusion" type jazz (if I am properly describing it). To me, it sounded like a bunch of discordant noise with no melody to speak of. It made me feel anxious and intimidated. It seems to me that jazz is more intellectual, whereas blues/soul/rock more emotional.I wish that, like your wife, I had someone to guide me and teach me what to notice and appreciate. However, I will take your advise and listen to "Kind of Blue". I Love the blues, so maybe this is a good place to start Thank you😊

[@ed.z.]

@@cindyfalstrom7231 since you have a wonderful musical background. I have a couple of things to recommend. There is an amazing woman /professional musician / teacher free on KZbin, Aimee Nolte Music. She can often demonstrate, and explain how, and why jazz concepts that can be misunderstood as as dissonance or a musical “clash”. You can begin to hear how beautiful it sounds right after you expose yourself a little to “extended” chord structures like chords extended to 9th, 11th, and 13th chords. You’ll love Aimee Nolte Music. Also two KZbin channels by musician/ producer “Rick Beato”who conducts awesome interviews and demonstrates beautiful concepts like he does on the song by Seal, “Gift From A Rose” you’ll love it. And finally, several pianists have KZbin channels that explain and demonstrate The Barry Harris Method”. Barry passed on but was a jazz star, an icon, a mentor, and ran a jazz school so amazing I can’t even do it justice. His approach is so precious it’s worth a peak on his older KZbin channel. ***Note: your knowledge of standards and show tunes give you a big advantage because many jazz tunes are based on those chord progressions. (Sometimes with hip and sophisticated chord substitutions invented by JS Bach who used improvisation often).

[@jacqueline4514]

@@ed.z. What a great story, and an astute way to determine whether the relationship is worth taking further. Congratulations on your 35 years; my husband and I are in our 31st year; not always easy, but we met on the dance floor and we still dance 😊.

[@thomasjacques5286]

Jazz drumming is one of the most difficult to perform, you're out there naked, rock solid timing and never overpowering the other instruments but to accent them. It's surgical yet improvised.

[@Manageode]

I feel so blessed to have been born in '58, and to have picked up the tail end of things like the great jazz age (which I don't know too much about, but happily we did get to hear things like this, which I suppose primed us ALL to be able to enjoy Chuck Mangione's huge hits in the '70s). And on TV we were served songs from the age of the melodic crooners. I'm thankful for not having been born too early, like my parent's generation, who just found the rock music too harsh for what their brains were accustomed to. Thanks for doing this one!! Oh... and I/we got to hear plenty of older style country. I/we love the "narratives" too. Some I heard in an older sister's country music collection. React to "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton (1970? But the video from a TV show is so old looking, the year can't be right)!! it's so entertaining. And there is the Marty Robbins music, like "El Paso".

[@Manageode]

If you do Kaw Liga, be sure and pick that live version. The first studio version just isn't nearly as good.

Terrific song and also the best-selling Jazz song of all time.

Just wait until you discover John Coltrane. Oh brother, you'll go to places you've never been to before. That's putting it mildly. BTW, The drummer for the Dave Brubeck Quartet played drums on the studio recording of Simon & Garfunkel's "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)".

[@stevefoulston]

When he was a child of around six or seven, jazz pianist Dave Brubeck’s father introduced him to an old African-American man who had, years earlier, been branded on the chest with a hot iron. The experience of seeing such barbarity perpetrated on another human being profoundly disturbed the boy and, for the rest of his life, Brubeck was fiercely opposed to racism and tried in his own way to fight it. Peace out.
