while in high school in the early 70's i went to a friends house after school. music was raging out of his basement. we went to check it out and there was this band practicing for the newport jazz festival in rhode island... my friend was alan dawson jr. exposure to this band up close and personal changed my appreciation for music for life.
MrAschiff, indeed not even in the whole universe you will hear such a great drum solo. 🙂But I hope you also have listened to Tito Puente's live version (also on UA-cam).
The fist time I heard this version of Take Five, I wasn't sure about having two saxophones. By the third time I listened to the performance, I was hooked!
I was there, first time Brubeck played after taking time off to compose Cantada/....riot broke out involving those outside the park, 1 person died, the gang attacked the stage as Bruebeck played, Alan Dawson came on my radio program to discuss what it was like from his vantage point, and me from mine...we were both scared out of our minds...Thanks of posting and keeping the memory alive
That bit, at about 12 minutes in, when the boss stops what he's doing to watch you, with a big smile on his face. Joe Morello will always be the master but this is awesome.
Alan Dawson master musician and drummer . His creative taste , technique and fluidity is a class of its own. Great great drummer. Do not compare drummers too much and who is best , Dawson is the very top and totally inspiring. Who is better Rembrandt, Picasso , Goya , Velasquez, Van Gogh, Manet ? Limit it ,respect , enjoy and assess them in their own right.Must have been fantastic experience studying with Alan Dawson, his book is also excellent.
It’s difficult to say “best” when it applies here. “Best” is subjective, a percussionist may not have the highest skill set, but maybe his style just hits a person in the right spot. I think Paul Desmond and Dave B are the best, I’m sure that there are some fair and logical arguments to say otherwise. I love what Allen does here though, the whole vibe makes me jealous that I wasn’t there!
I know im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I love any help you can give me!
@Watson Gael i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Five Musical Geniuses Taken By Storm of well... TAKE FIVE!!! The Five are taken...by music! Fantastic how after the Wonderful Solos of Desmond and Mulligan Great Dave is on fire! And then it is up to Dave to set drummer and bassist on fire as well! Sixteen minutes of Jazz Beauty fo Musical Eternity! Loved it!
Voilà un solo de batterie et te voilà hors du temps, oui nous sommes bien dans les années 70's , les pattes d'Eff et les percutions, " il y avait de l'eau dans le gaz, le Jazz et la Java"..Salut à vous tous.
Building on the original, as improvisers of this magnitude did quite well. Paul is as lyrical as ever; Gerry's baritone is a welcome addition; Dave negotiating the 5/4 time is a treat; Jack holding down the beat as did Senator Wright did in the DBQ glory days; and Alan taking the drum "torch" from Joe and running with it in a way that must have even made the great rock drummers of that day take notice.
Alan Dawson doing what a drummer is supposed to do. Laying a solid foundation for the WHOLE BAND to build on, and then when is his turn, he lays out a masterful solo! And then.... back to the foundational groove! THAT'S THE WAY ITS DONE BOYS AND GIRLS!
I remember seeing the DBQ once when Dave said: "we thought we'd try it with a clarinet." It was well after Paul's departure, the sax parts were being done by a guy on clarinet. Different. Excellent sound. I've seen the quartet a dozen times, they are always right on top of it.
You know what i think. I think.. the drummer is joking the team at 13:11 with faking to come back and the rest rejoins. The base player is grabing his bas but than the drummer takes his moment again and you see Dave Brubeck enjoying the moment. My take on this they had some fun with that. :D
What do you all think about the difference between "having a preference" - say, for a drummer's performance - versus "one is better than the other"? I love Joe Morello, but damn if there ain't some masterful drumming on this, especially starting at about 8:30! And what about at 10:30 and 11:19, etc.?? That's insanely good drumming. So, of course, it's "not the same" as Joe Morello's take, and you might like his better but COME ON, saying it's better is ridiculous (not that I'm saying Dawson's is better, which is my point). They're different. Enjoy them both. That's the beauty of improvised performances by wonderful musicians. Anyway...leaving my soap box now :-)
look at those faces, these guys arent just having the time of their lives, it’s more like time doesn’t even exist
the only time is 5/4
Still loving this after over 50 years 💋💋💋
Dawson's solo is just out of this world. The time he keeps is amazing throughout as he seamlessly brings the group back in.
Those drum sticks ‘bout to burst into flame.
while in high school in the early 70's i went to a friends house after school.
music was raging out of his basement. we went to check it out and there was this band

Great story 👍
How awesome!!
I would have loved to come home from school to this great music.
@@donnaluch4344 I’d have died on the spot.
C`Mon. Seriously. SIC..
As good as this will ever get. RIP and thanks for the memories.
Love how Dave takes a time out to enjoy a private concert by Alan Dawson. Dave always enjoyed making quality music and it showed on his face.
How right you are
He let the other guys play
@@NormAppleton He enjoyed listening to the other guys playing!
The absolute most classic jazz composition.....EVER!
One of the Top Two songs ever released in jazz history. From one of Top Two albums ever released in Jazz's top year.
That was amazing. That drum solo was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!
MrAschiff, indeed not even in the whole universe you will hear such a great drum solo. 🙂But I hope you also have listened to Tito Puente's live version (also on UA-cam).
What a super version of Take Five, with a rare full solo of Dave and a super drum solo. tairs
Damn, that’s some absolutely amazing drumming by Alan Dawson 😲
I thought the same thing! When I was a kid, I would listen to the drum part over and over and over.
The best version of take five ever heard!
Better than the original recording? No.
Absolutly the best version
Wow what a version first time i've heard this. Dave looks great grinning from ear to ear during the drum solo.
yes,Dave was proud and amusing..nice to see.. :)
He was stoned, that is why he was grinning.
I hope so!@@SuperBullyone
The fist time I heard this version of Take Five, I wasn't sure about having two saxophones. By the third time I listened to the performance, I was hooked!
People are imo kinda missing the point here. The real poetry is in Paul Desmonds play. Amazing!
The flair and dynamism in this drum solo is absolutely outstanding!! A perfect piece
I was there, first time Brubeck played after taking time off to compose Cantada/....riot broke out involving those outside the park, 1 person died, the gang attacked the stage as Bruebeck played, Alan Dawson came on my radio program to discuss what it was like from his vantage point, and me from mine...we were both scared out of our minds...Thanks of posting and keeping the memory alive
Oh my word WHAT!? I’m sitting here on a Wednesday in sf laughing, I could never see this happening in 2024… what a story that must be
Who needs a big drum kit? Man that is the essence of syncopation right there
You ought to have seen Morello do it.... He had HALF that .
Marvelous..... to cheer up a depressing Sunday morning in midtown Manhattan...... thank you. Miss Jenny
Really appreciate your dedicated work in bringing this wonderful music to us Barry Morris!
Wow! I've listed to 100's of versions of this, but this one is breath taking, the best yet. How come I haven't heard this until now?!?!
Fantastic edition. Thanks for sharing joy.
That bit, at about 12 minutes in, when the boss stops what he's doing to watch you, with a big smile on his face. Joe Morello will always be the master but this is awesome.
Timeless insurmountable. Incredible 😊
Don't forget that this awesome drumsolo is performed...50 years ago.. :)
Wenn ich einen schlechten Tag hatte, diesen Song, und alles ist wieder gut. Danke Dave.
Alan Dawson master musician and drummer . His creative taste , technique and fluidity is a class of its own. Great great drummer. Do not compare drummers too much and who is best , Dawson is the very top and totally inspiring. Who is better Rembrandt, Picasso , Goya , Velasquez, Van Gogh, Manet ? Limit it ,respect , enjoy and assess them in their own right.Must have been fantastic experience studying with Alan Dawson, his book is also excellent.
don't forget Master Joe Morello..the original drummer and founder of this song ;)
Exectly
I studied with Alan for a year in 1974. A very sweet man.
It’s difficult to say “best” when it applies here. “Best” is subjective, a percussionist may not have the highest skill set, but maybe his style just hits a person in the right spot.
I think Paul Desmond and Dave B are the best, I’m sure that there are some fair and logical arguments to say otherwise. I love what Allen does here though, the whole vibe makes me jealous that I wasn’t there!
Whenever i think i went through all great renditions of this masterpiece - a new one pops up - what an amazing performance! Thanks for sharing. :-)

Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Ridge Adam happy to help :)
What an peformance by the drummer.. so awesome! love it
connected to one of the most amazing evenings of my life
Lately, I’ve been starting my day with Take Five. Great day from here!!
Manifestation naturelle et spontanée du génie en musique...❤
It's like everyone here are siblings, they know each other intimately
Wow....fantastic drumming, and these acrylic drums sound amazing!
Take Five...such fun to listen to 5/4 beat. Paul Desmond's tone is fantastic...love this tune!
Five Musical Geniuses Taken By Storm of well... TAKE FIVE!!! The Five are taken...by music! Fantastic how after the Wonderful Solos of Desmond and Mulligan Great Dave is on fire! And then it is up to Dave to set drummer and bassist on fire as well! Sixteen minutes of Jazz Beauty fo Musical Eternity! Loved it!
Absolutely correct!
Outstanding version of truly monumental piece...........................
Great performances by all.
Voilà un solo de batterie et te voilà hors du temps, oui nous sommes bien dans les années 70's , les pattes d'Eff et les percutions, " il y avait de l'eau dans le gaz, le Jazz et la Java"..Salut à vous tous.
Gold✨!! Thank you!! ❤️💖💕❤️
Barry if you see this, excellent job with syncing the higher quality audio. It was well worth the effort, and I'm grateful.
@Tom Arabia these could be exactly my words...! Great job!
Fabulous version of take 5. Note that the chorus of Paul is in C Major (for alto sax) and the harmony is in C minor.
I liked this song already, now I love it, thanks to you Barry (I dont know what i love the best, Dave's pants or his face during the drummer's solo☝️)
i love this kind of music, bossa nova ,too. it just makes me so peaceful and happy . great job Barry
Awesome drum solo ... one that enters the memory .... the Dawson solo in Germany with Dave.
CLASSIC & One of a kind. True musicians !
La migliore versione di take 5 in assoluto, grandi
I think Alan Dawson’s drum solo might be the most exciting drum solo I’ve ever heard.
love the sound, the movement, the air
Masterpiece, no other words.
Building on the original, as improvisers of this magnitude did quite well. Paul is as lyrical as ever; Gerry's baritone is a welcome addition; Dave negotiating the 5/4 time is a treat; Jack holding down the beat as did Senator Wright did in the DBQ glory days; and Alan taking the drum "torch" from Joe and running with it in a way that must have even made the great rock drummers of that day take notice.
yes,,,what a masterpiece.... !
Beautiful performance, both by the quintet and yourself. Many thanks!
Jazz, and simply music, at its very best!!
Those were the days of great sax work not the squealing the present day sax men do
Alan Dawson doing what a drummer is supposed to do. Laying a solid foundation for the WHOLE BAND to build on, and then when is his turn, he lays out a masterful solo! And then.... back to the foundational groove! THAT'S THE WAY ITS DONE BOYS AND GIRLS!
Dude, you did an amazing job. Congratulations and many thanks...
Thanks Barry! Excellent work on this one….appreciated
Barry Morris, thank you and congrats for syncing video and audio.
Simply brilliant, music as music should be played by some of the very best.
i love this version the most
Gerry Mulligan....Mr Clinton's friend. He also played with the great Astor Piazzolla. Awesome.
Wow, this is fantastic, that you synced the audio/video… looks and sounds wonderful
Beautiful constellation=beautiful music. Original players! terrific it exists.
No Joe Morello.
JUST LIKE HEAVEN - JAZZ ´S LOVER HEAVEN, spectacular video thank!!!
Thank you for uploading

very very good.............................................................................
first time hearing it.amazeing. beautiful.
That drummer is smooooooooooooooth...!
Desmond's solo was smoother than silk, and oh so delightful to hear!
❤une musique de ma jeunesse donc je me lasse pas 😂😂😂
Beautiful. Thank you so much
A forever classic.
Jazz Heaven! Thanks for making the effort.
Un chef d'oeuvre indémodable depuis 1959.
ポール・デスモンドの名曲ですね。この曲がでた頃はいろんな曲がヒットしたけどテイクテンはあまりヒットしなかった。ジョーモレロのファンでした。
There is another live stream of this tune on youtube, called " The Last Set at Newport " even more powerfully,
you may like it too ! ENJOY
Best performance ever!!
memories of my young time- live düsseldorf 1973 - see here
well done. good band too.
This is my grandfather's music. Much better than today's music. But as my aunt Rosie says, you can't turn the Clock backwards.
We have the advantage of appreciating “then” in todays world. Love it
But you can go back and watch the history in the making!
Your aunty is damned right.
Amazing 😜 ✌️ 👍
Paul Desmond and Dave Brubeck were the soloists from the original 1958 recording.
omg so good!
You know what i think. I think.. the drummer is joking the team at 13:11 with faking to come back and the rest rejoins. The base player is grabing his bas but than the drummer takes his moment again and you see Dave Brubeck enjoying the moment. My take on this they had some fun with that. :D
the wonderful Alan Dawson

I am very grateful a few versions of this are on youtube
Que maravilha !!!!!! Divinal.
Dave Brbeck goes from accountant to hippie in less than 10 years.
Brilliant either way
hahahahahah
The drugs was off the charts back then
Dave and Paul were the original Men in Black
Same transformation happened to bill evans
I think I have heard 3 or 4 different versions of this by the same group......All very good,, except Joe is missing from this one. thanks for the post
And God give us some stars...
thank you.
Best performance by all
Man, thart was fun.
Es una pieza del jazz que, pasados años y años seguirá escuchándose. Y, en esta versión el saxo de Mulligan suena maravillosamente.
WOW!
Gerry Mulligan- Smooth as a gravy sandwich!
That gentleman on Conn saxophone who looks like an archeologist is Gerry Mulligan and he's bad news.
Great jazz
