Actually, they didn't have a choice. The required work clothes back then from casual to formal was in 3 categories: Casual - sport coat and nice slacks Dress - suit Formal - tuxedo Been there, done that. I still have all 3 wardrobes because some venues require it.
I started out as a self-taught rock drummer in a garage band in the mid-60's. Then I heard this song. My life was changed forever. I found an excellent jazz drummer with a style very similar to Joe Morello's which was light, flowing and very powerful. I am still practicing. I could listen to this forever while I can only take 5 minutes of Buddy Rich. Joe's playing is perfection. In all of his videos, he is a true gentleman who is always modest. Rest in peace, Joe. You still live in my heart.
Thank you for calling my attention to Joe Morello's drumming. I am desperately old but _Time Out_ was _the_ album to have when we were seniors in high school and college if you were hip. Like you, I could loop this for hours on end!
Same experience as you. I'm 75. Picked a new silver sparkle Slingerland kit in 1976 and still play light rock, jazz, swing. Have been offered 5-6 thousand dollars as my kit is mint....chrome is perfect and the wrap is tight with NO fade, yellowing or ginger ale. A little of Buddy goes a long way.
Dave Brubeck's playing here is so understated that the first time I ever saw a video of "Take Five," I thought that Paul Desmond was Brubeck. Now that's class.
Paul Desmond wrote Take Five (it was originally intended just to let drummer Joe Morello have a solo, then turned into the band's greatest hit). Desmond didn't have any family to will his belongings to, so he left his royalties earned by Take Five after he died to the Red Cross; it's estimated that every year they receive $100,000 from his legacy.
Joe Morello might look like a baby-faced accountant, but his drum solo on "Take Five" is the coolest, yet most elegant drum solo in the history of jazz 🎶. I also like the way Brubeck turns and and actually watches Morello play.
A Timeless Piece....all of these Gentelmen are Masters....poor Mr. Eugene Wright The Bassist didn't get his individual highlight...but i gueass it was the times then, A GREAT JAZZ PIECE.
The "accountant" look wasn't really a choice. That uniform was mandatory at the time. If you didn't dress accordingly, you didn't work. Some places still require this. My first tuxedo was given to me by a sax player. I still have tuxedos and suits in my closet, just in case.
Bravo...!!!....Ce sont exactement les mots qui sont dans chaque note de musique de ce morceau légendaire...Ah Paris 1965.... cave St Germain....souvenirs.....
I'm a retired architect. About time at 75! In drafting class in junior high, the teacher played music. Evidently that was the tradition. Anyway that tune was played every day. I loved it. To this day the drum solo is the greatest I've ever heard. It's a hoot to watch these "hep cats" play!
Morello is the bomb on the drums. My dad was a drummer in a jazz band in the 1930s and later met Morello when Brubeck was playing in Concord, California in the early 1960s.
Everything I've ever heard or read about Joe says that Joe was the perfect gentleman in all ways. He was never condescending to a student and was always complimentary to fellow musicians. Unfortunately, I heard the opposite about Buddy Rich but that is another story. My favorite drummer of all time is Joe Morello and my favorite living drummer is Jeff Hamilton, also a gentleman.
ohh did you Dad ever share stories? I would love to hear his stories from that decade~ jazz drummers are my favorite musicians! I myself am the daughter of two jazz pianists so it was such an interesting childhood!
Listening to Joe Morello play so comfortably and fluidly in 5/4, and then hearing his call and response from the snare to the tom...it's just amazing, and I can't help but think the great jazz/rock drummer Ginger Baker learned significantly from hearing him. I wish I could have met Joe. I did have the honor of meeting Dave Brubeck, and telling him how much he influenced my own piano playing, with his rhythmic left/right hand syncopation.
A jazz absolute masterpiece. The drummer's solo is amazing, playing in a very difficult way the many drummers cannot handle ; I am not a musician, so I do not know why
Oh my..so smooth an immortal jazz classic. Joe Morello just plays it like it's a walk in the park. Staying in 'five' during the drum solo section is not easy.
I’ve tried to conquer this groove and failed. I can get the ride pattern, kick and hats on 2 and 4 but as soon as try comping the snare it all turns to shit. Joes is a phenom.
@@41PH4B3TS0UP hard to keep thinking in 'five' my natural inclination is to fall back in a 'four feel' I try to keep the hi-hat foot strokes on beats 'two three and 'five' while steady light bass drum notes on all 5 beats whether that is technically correct or not it works for me. The hardest part of the tune is the drum solo sections because the figures run over the bar lines.
@@thomasmoje5926 I don’t really have an issue with the 5 because the ride holds the pattern nicely and you obviously land the kick on one and to my ears the keys and bass sound like the 2, 3, 4, 5 The comping is insanely difficult for me. That’s the limb that makes the brain say ya nah I don’t think so. I just respect Joe for making it look like a cake walk. What a phenomenal drummer.
@Zając Trusev Who said he did, Desmond is credited with composing "Take Five," but Brubeck says the tune was a group project with Desmond providing two main ideas. "Paul came in with two themes unrelated, and I put it together as a tune and made a form out of it," Brubeck says. "He came in with two themes.19 Nov 2000
@@porkstack Brubeck didn't even understand what jazz is. His themes were just shit on a stick and he couldn't tell teh difference. Only stuff I can listen to him playing is not his own. Desmond brought way more than two themes.. he brought something which Brubeck never managed to grasp in the entirety of his career.
Whenever I need inspiration, or to get my head straight, I play Take Five (any version). Their elegance while playing together and the melody itself is timeless!
.I was a wee lass at 7 or 8 when I would skip school and plant myself in front of my dad's home-made,huge speakers. I was enthralled with Getz,Mulligan,Peterson, Rollins, Holiday, Sinatra,Bennet,et al. I skipped school a lot...from 1964 on...
I heard Dave play at Scope in Norfolk & the first chair cello player from the Norfolk symphony played back & forth with the drummer during Take Five & I had a seat right in front of them, totally amazing.
I could never tire of listening to this classic piece of music. The original version with the Dave Brubeck Quartet stands head and shoulders above all the other renditions. But while it sets the benchmark, this piece of music permeates the music world and so many other great outfits have benefited by having it in their play list. I think that adds to the value of the successful acceptance of this great masterpiece.
Sunday Afternoon, a bottle of Vodka, a litre of Tomato Juice, (+ Worcestershire Sauce, Tabasco, and Celery Salt), and Dave Brubeck. I'm closing in on Heaven.
I love the little nod from Desmond at the end, as if to say to the audience yes we are that good. Don’t forget this is live and heading to the credits of a tv show. Just wonderful.
Bonjour à toutes et tous, la classe intemporels il nous manque énormément à tous, je l'adore, la où il est il doit composer quelques chefs d'oeuvres, qu'il repose en paix, bien cordialement Dan 🇨🇵👍🙏
Estoy viendo ésto en dvd. Mágico es poco decir. Los calificativos huelgan...la performance de todos los músicos que participan es maravillosa! Me emociona hasta las lágrimas!
Besides the version of "Take Five" included on the "Time Out" LP (original first pressing, with a jacket autographed by two of Dave's sons, which I've played hundreds of times), I have listened to this live version several dozen times. Every time I do, I could swear that, starting around 3:15, I can hear the faintest of humming coming from Dave. Has anyone else noticed this? MarkT
A whole office of accountants playing a timeless classic.
I like that.
Actually, they didn't have a choice. The required work clothes back then from casual to formal was in 3 categories:
Casual - sport coat and nice slacks
Dress - suit
Formal - tuxedo
Been there, done that. I still have all 3 wardrobes because some venues require it.
Coolest damn accountants on earth.
Never gets old
I’m a 71 year old black woman in Georgia and found it’s way to my house. Amazing timing.
I'm nearly six decades old Bavarian. All the best to Georgia, where I will probably never get to. A hearty "Servus!" from Bavaria.
Right on sister❤

Excellent comment, Boomerguy.Joe Morello was great.I would rather listen to him then drummers who sound like they're playing exercises.

yes .. Think they played i LULEÅ (Sweden) I went in school there ..1955 .. ! remember ... well ..
& after that great piece, He gives Brubeck His cue to get back 'On Track', as it were !! 🎶😀
A Timeless Piece....all of these Gentelmen are Masters....poor Mr. Eugene Wright The Bassist didn't get his individual highlight...but i gueass it was the times then, A GREAT JAZZ PIECE.
Right. The drummer decides when he is finishing his solo and gives the leader the cue when to come back in, on the downbeat.@@antonyconnolly2738

This was done 60 years ago supporting my theory thar good music and art last forever.
Your right look at Beethoven or Bach good music is eternal
Timelessly elegant, emotional, intense, hypnotic, excellent, instructive, inspirational, reflective, joyful, smooth and so cool.
You have said my heart, my mind, my words. Thank You.

Retired accountant lucky U - I am at 75 a Tax Accountant and not yet retired - I am cooling down from a rough tax season with my favorite Jazz pieces.
Music that never grows old.
All the musicians in the song are absolute geniuses
Why because they are white and playing black music!
@@TitoRivera-yx2uo Music has nothing to do with creed or colour
@@TitoRivera-yx2uo So,Eugene Wright now is white?
Yes, we know!
One of the greatest jazz pieces ever produced!!!!!
The look of Brubeck to Paul Desmond says everything!!!

My own favorite piece of jazz. RIP all four of these phenomenal gentlemen.
Yes... The way Dave Brubeck likes to watch His other compatriots... some of the time, whilst He is STILL playing !!! 👍🏻😀
A jazz absolute masterpiece. The drummer's solo is amazing, playing in a very difficult way the many drummers cannot handle ; I am not a musician, so I do not know why
One word that comes to mind is Elegant
marvelous stupindus symphonic

Keep that 5/4 … That’s why Joe Morello was Joe Morello!
It might have been meant for a “take a 5 minute break” song but it became legendary
One of the very best of any genre in music,PERIOD.
An art form in itself. Dave B's music takes us to another place. These are gems to cherish for all time.

That was beautiful!
You hear this piece and wonder how many time Mr Brubeck & Co. played this and had small variations - like perfect waves crashing on the beach.
NYC. Strolling down the street. Heard this song playing in a bar. Went in. Changed me.
This is the best solo I ever heard
still love it in 2022
Classic!! My parents had this on when they had company and that is how I grew to groove to it!
i love jazz am listening since i have 16 , now i have 66 and my favorite is take 5 i I love it
I'm a young 68 & I love this song & all the musician's
Can anyone believe that amazing drummer Oh Lord I just think that's just so awesome There's nothing that can pass to that beautiful drama
Absolutely perfect music to drink a cocktail to.
Or just lay in the arms of one who makes You forget You thought of a cocktail...
What is amazing is their improvisations are always new and spontaneous. Heard it how many times? It’s genius.
Yes, that's the true definition of 'Jazz'... 🎶🙂
I learned to play Take Five on the piano in high school. Tough, but once it clicked, I loved it. 😊
Everytime..Timeless Take Five👍... Till the end of time.
Love hearing Paul Desmond on that sax.
Oh Jesus help me They are just both amazing Why did you give me such love for music I just don't know
All the hours of my life I would listen this jazz with Brubeck, Desmond, Morello and Wright. The time is not sufficient
That's just impossible It's too amazing Oh my God it's just absolutely beautiful God bless the fingers and his whole body too Oh Lord save us
I learned about this song at Candlestick park when they had pitching changes. Loved it and now it’s one of my favorites
Whenever I need inspiration, or to get my head straight, I play Take Five (any version). Their elegance while playing together and the melody itself is timeless!
Every time I watch this video I think of four high school science teachers getting together after a day of teaching and playing jazz like this.
Here is were you see the respect of the musicians to each other ❤🎉
.I was a wee lass at 7 or 8 when I would skip school and plant myself in front of my dad's home-made,huge speakers. I was enthralled with Getz,Mulligan,Peterson, Rollins, Holiday, Sinatra,Bennet,et al.
I skipped school a lot...from 1964 on...
Mi mamá tenía 5 años cuando grabaron este vídeo. Yo tengo 35 años, amo esta canción. La amo tanto que cuando muera quiero lo pongan.
En clase de sax me ha tocado interpretar está excelente melodía y es un deliete Paul unos de los mejores...
Toda una genialidad

DB and the accountants still listening to this it is 2023 Fri 27 OCT timeless one of the greatest songs and brilliant musicians
Está música es para personas cultas , finas , inteligente y d buen gusto con una alta sensibilidad vno es para todo el mundo
Love this….grounds me….takes me back to a time when angst and fear didn’t exist…..thank you for posting 😮😅😊
Absolutely beautiful, and all in suits and ties. How things changed...
心に響く 一度きいたら 忘れない 何度も聞きたくなる マジックのように 何度でも
Fine jazz - classic, sexy ! The variety of instruments are interesting , and make up the music , each individual ! I love it !
Jazz drum solos can be defined as controlled chaos leading to timed serenity.
Absolutely fabulous music 🎶 🎵 👌 ❤
Paul Desmond is amazing unequaled.
Morello wonderful master of metres! Such an intelligent drum solo! This really paved some new ways for drumming and drum solos
The best performance of this work
👏👏👏
Great song, great album and great band

Timeless. Like Mozart. Bettovin, etc. Always have ears for his music!
I've lost count of how many albums I own by Brubeck....80 or so? 😊
☺️😊
My Dad was the same
Must find more Morello.
My absolute favorite.of all time.

love the understated discord on the piano pure dreamland !
Simplesmente maravilhoso, que prazer ouvi-lo.

Timeless a pioneer for them following up with bride ears👍🏽
