    Most people may not realize it, but for most of the song the saxophonist is playing incredibly quietly. It takes great skill to be able to play with a full, round tone at those volumes. It is so quiet on the sax track that you can hear the keys clicking and his fingers touching the brass sax.

      I play the Alto as well, and I can vouch. It takes YEARS. YEARS of experience to the point where someone can make the saxophone’s tone even across the range of octaves and notes. Let alone quietly with a full sound, and a mysterious twist on the whole thing. There’s alot more that goes into the saxophone than just playing that many people don’t realize. He’s truly an amazing saxophonist.

      Thank you for pointing this out to us non-sax players.
      Just to keep things clear for people new to jazz, Dave Brubeck is the piano player. As a non-sax player, I don't know the name of this amazing sax-player. But he's great!
      Just from listening to this song for most of my life, I always thought Dave Brubeck was the sax player. So for young, and older, people who read these things....Know your Jazz!

    So, famously, Dave Brubeck said that the group never intended for this song to be as famous as it became. Paul Desmond had a lick he wanted to play around with, and they used the opportunity to give Joe Morello an overdue drum solo.
    So, Dave and Eugene kinda took a backseat while Paul did his thing, and then Joe got his solo.
    But Joe could have gone nuts here. This is the era of Buddy Rich and Art Blakey. Drum solos were marked by how fast and how hard you can bash everything.
    For one of jazz's most influential groups, in the group's most famous song- a jazz standard and by extention, arguably one of the most famous drum solos in jazz- Joe Morello's solo was so simple, a middle schooler on a PlayTek My First Kit could play it.
    Joe could have gone nuts. He could have gone ferral for three minutes Whiplash-style. The team gave him a blank check to flex.
    He didn't. He decided to just... he just vibed out, man.
    They say jazz is about the notes you don't play. In that case, this is the greatest jazz drum solo of all time.

      My father was a big Brubeck fan, I didn't get to appreciating Jazz until listening to Steely Dan warmed me up to it.
      I gave my dad some Donald Fagen records (which he seemed to appreciate) and I have started listening to more of my dad's music. He passed away recently and I made sure to keep his vinyl albums from his youth as a keepsake. I also made sure to save some of his CDs to add to my listening. I miss my dad but I can only imagine he is in the same place as Dave Brubeck and many of his favorites.
      Take five is such a delightful song to listen to, I don't know how anyone could dislike it. I just wish that I would have given it a chance much earlier in my life. I guess it is just a matter of refining tastes in music that comes with age.

    This song means so much to me. My grandmother was a huge jazz enthusiast. She had loved jazz all her life. Every year, she would travel all over the country to various jazz venues and festivals. She always really loved Dave Brubeck, I believe he was one of her favorite artists. This last summer, she had a heart attack. It initially looked pretty good, she seemed like she was on her way to recovery. However, things didnt go to well after the stent. One morning, my dad called me and told me that it wasn't good and she only had a few hours left. I stayed their the whole time, with her, talking to her. When the doctor unplugged her life support, her breathing started to get shallower. As she left us, we put on Pandora Radio, and the first song to come up was Take Five. This song played her out of her life. She had had so many surgerys and hip replacements, and her body was just weighing her down, and the meaning of the song and the concept of "take five" is just so perfect. It was time for her to just take five from this life. I love ya Grandma :)

    I still recall (at age 78 recalling is tougher than it usta be) the first time I heard this. It was a single on the jukebox in the Hilltopper Café across Center Street from the campus of Western Kentucky (then) State College in Bowling Green. It was late summer-early fall, 1959. It had been released as a single throughout the Nashville market of which BG was a part. I and a whole, whole lot of other Western students who ate there put a lot of dimes into that juke box to play what was fast becoming a monster hit on campuses around the region. I was in the café near-daily, since I lived in a $15-a-month basement room in the rooming house next door. It became a campus hit nationally two years later. The record in the café wore out and had to be replaced -- as did the one in the student center grill jukebox -- as I recall. I bought the album and later bought it again after I loaned it to someone who failed to return it. Still have that second vinyl album all these years later (and about 3 other DBQ vinyls) -- plus the classic on cartridge tape and CD albums that I have picked up along the years. Regret never having seen the quartet in concert. That's getting to be a long time ago -- and every year many young people discover Brubeck and Desmond and Morello and Wright and "Take Five." Maybe there's hope for the world, after all . . .

    I first heard this in a cab, I had listened jazz before, but this was the piece that really made an impact on me and got me deep into jazz. After listening lots of it, I still believe there is no better group than The Dave Brubeck Quartet.

      When you have a chance check out Cannonball Adderley a tremendous and versatile musician, Great music my mommy introduced me to when I vwss very young 4 years old and then the private schools I attended included multiple genres of music and jazz music was on the top of the list for listening, concentration, creativity and calmness. To bad most younger generations cannot understand what it means to have calmness when trying to resolve conflicts or develop strategies to understand how to be humble!

    I'm not primarily a Jazz guy. I'm more into Heavy Metal, Disco and Pop. My Dad introduced me to Jazz as a kid. He claimed that he paid off some guy at the hospital I was born at so the first music I would ever hear was "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis. He showed me John Coltraine, Charles Mingus, Ella Fitzgerald and George Gershwin. I discovered Brubeck through this very song. My father and me, we don't get along the best. We are doing OK, but stuff happened. We are working on it. But no matter whatever happens, Jazz will be a thing we both enjoy. Admittedly him more than me, but still.
    Just a few notes can mean so much.

      ​@Donna Clemons Wow, I've always been wondering how it was really like to have a mountain of physical copies lying around...
      But although our technological advancements granted us the privilege of being able to access any kind of tune/genre with a few simple clicks, I reckon that at the same time, we've lost the sort of... satisfaction, the appreciation of actually possessing a precious copy within one's grasp.
      Furthermore, I oftentimes notice how adults in their 40s and beyond have a tendency to stick to a favorite song that accompanies them in the midst of their grievous times for years, maybe even decades, whilst most adolescents of today - including myself - stick to a favorite song for merely a few days before they're fed up with it, presumably due to the fact that people in my age group tend to take the convenience of immediate access to trillions of songs over the internet for granted.
      But such are things in life. Good things accompany bad things like Yin and Yang, for this is how nature has decided to balance things out in this world. :)
      Nevertheless, it still leaves me wishing that I was born "in those days", to truly cherish the kind of music in which artists actually put their heart and soul into their passion, rather than having the musical gems of bygone times obscured by talentless compositions that only serve as greedy money grabs.

      This actually strikes my mind everytime I hear ppl talking about "the great past times"! Dude, I get it, 80's were awesome, but.. We got the internet baby :D

      There were plenty of record shops back in the day. It was a great way to buy music. Going through album cover's some with reviews on the back "favorable of course ". Listen to the music it was great.

    Everything about this is first class, but Morello's solo is one the greatest in drumming history. Poetry.
