  • Paul Desmond: Take Five
    The Dave Brubeck Quartet
    Dave Brubeck, Piano
    Paul Desmond, Alto Saxophone
    Joe Morello, Drums
    Eugene Wright, Bass
    Recorded live in Berlin, Germany on November 6, 1966.
    This unique version of Take Five has a wonderful solo by Paul Desmond and an outstanding polytonal exploration by Dave Brubeck. The musical statement seemed to be so complete that the group decided to forego Joe Morello's usual drum solo.
    From: Jazz Icons: Dave Brubeck Live in '64 & '66

    one of the things I love about these UA-cam preservations of jazz from that era is the 'look' of the musicians as they play. They are ultra conservatively dressed, almost 'nerdy' by today's standards with the horn rimmed glasses, dark suits with ties but playing the ultra coolest sounds of the sixties and now. So much treasure here on UA-cam for us to admire and digest. Paul clearly in a state of nirvana and Morello's nod to cool seen in his shades. Yes - life of the cool.

    My Dad had Klispch towers that were taller than me and probably the best turntable in five counties. Mom allowed him to play Jazz on Sunday mornings. My bed would move to Brubeck or Mulligan/Baker.

    I was introduced to Dave Brubeck in 1960's when my neighbor William Birnbaum set up a stereo and played the album on his Fisher stereo. I have been a brubeck fan ever since. I liked Blue Rondo A La Turk and Take Five and Kathy's Waltz and Strange MEADOW LARK. Brubeck was great and Paul Desmond was the icing onthe cake, just great jazz.

    Lots of comments on Brubeck, but please don’t forget that this was written by Paul Desmond. I enjoy the different versions since the original from the studio (Time Out, 1959) gets ingrained in the memory. As a Jazz group, at every concert the tunes were played differently. Also, the tricky time signatures made improvising more challenging so that the ideas could flow more easily the more they played each of the numbers.
    In my own collection, I really love Take Five played live in 1963 At Carnegie Hall.
