    My best friend in high school had a living room full of percussion instruments. I had a Stratotone guitar and 5 watt Supro amp and with his extensive array of stuff (including a complete set of Ludwigs and a great Musser vibes) he tried to lead me into REAL jazz. One of the combos we started with was Dave Brubeck (Brubeck, Morello and Desmond). "Take Five" turned out somewhat OK but my buddy wanted to nail down "Blue Rondo a la Turk". Yeah, right .. 9: 8 time. For cripes sake, we were only 16 in 1966 and trying this stuff? This video brought back amazingly wonderful memories ,,, THANK YOU!!

    This is so relaxing. They were so easy back then. We need Take five from the evening. Joe was so perfect with his hands on the drums then.

    Back in the day jazz musicians dressed like accountants. Not criticizing today’s musicians’ attire but I miss that kind of class

      I suspect that you are in good & sound company, Mr Bruno. But that's an opinion from someone who's almost always out of step with the majority.

      This kind of classy attire is a result of forced conformity, which goes against the core of jazz.

    If there is a musicians that can explain simply to a neophyte, what key or keys is it?, the timing is unique (for example: 9/8 or like 12/8 time), does the timing change during the song?, play a rymthic part at the beginning and then into more traditional jazz. I like the way Mr. Brubeck digs into and explores the chord changes and pounds it into the ground. I like it when he closes his eyes and his creativity in his mind flows to the keys. His hands are the tools to create the mood and intent of the song or something fancy like that.

      I'm 65 years old. I tried for many years to listen to and 'get' jazz. I started listening to the DBQ about 18 months ago. I'm hooked, and it's the quartets experimenting with time signatures that did it for me.

      Hello. At 1:52 you can feel the tune slipping into a 4/4 blues in the key of F, then continuing for a few seconds to quickly shift from 9/8 to 4/4, to then continue until the end of Brubeck's piano solo as a blues in 4/4 as previously mentioned.

      @@EWormMusic Steve Race's Original 1959 LP Liner Notes
      Blue Rondo à la Turk
      Blue Rondo à la Turk plunges straight into the most jazz-remote time signature, 9/8 - grouped not in the usual from (3-3-3) but in 2-2-2-3. When the gusty opening section gives way to a more familiar jazz beat, the three eighth-notes have become equivalent to one quarter-note, and an alternating 9/8 - 4/4 time leads to a fine solo by Paul Desmond. Dave Brubeck follows, with a characteristically neat transition into the heavy block chords which are a familiar facet of his style, and before long "Rondo à la Turk" is a stamping, shouting blues. Later the tension is dropped deliberately for Paul Desmond's re-entry, and for the alternate double-bars of 9- and 4- time which herald the returning theme. The whole piece is in classical rondo form.
      This was my father's LP. He never said a word about it, I just found it in the radiogram's record bin and devoured the liner note as I played it. Probably the cause of my YT handle.
