I have this version on the (unauthorized?) import CD: Someday My Prince Will come. Another Amazon reviewer points to the album The Quartet from the 1961 Europa Jazz LP.
p.s. I've listened to this track maybe 1000 time, and never tired of it. I would have to classify it, in my humble opinion, as the single best musical performance ever recorded (notwithstanding the somewhat less than ideal recording quality). I wish I had been there to hear it live, but alas, I had not yet been born...
For anyone who enjoys this piece, check out Buried Treasures...........Forty Days is a minute longer and, believe it or not, even sweeter.......recorded live in Mexico City in 1976, it did not make it on the Bravo Brubeck CD and was but together by Russell Gloyd with other cuts that did not make the Bravo album........among them a remarkable rendition of Take Five........with no drum solo..........but the sax solo from forty days is pure magic

please check out Hidden Treasures.........cut in 1998 ... cuts that never made the Bravo Brubeck CD from the 1976 live concert in Mexico City. Forty Days is a minute longer then this rendition and, believe it or not, is even sweeter...........there is also an unusual rendition of take five, with no drum solo.........good luck, nm
Great music, thanks to my mother who has such great taste in music,made me a true music lover, this a some of the greatest ,wonderful place in time, thank so much for this...
Mastery. Such a beautiful melody. Bass, Solo, Rhythm, How can we have lost this? Joe Morello: The greatest. Friend of Buddy Rich, Louis Bellson, Gene Krupa.
I keep returning to this song (and I see that this is the third time I'm commenting on this video). Still beautiful and magical. Paul Desmond should be much more of a household name than he is. Love his playing on this.
But no to much Vodka or in my case Scotch. But ah yes this song personifies the coolest of the coolest of the jazz mindset/lifestyle/ethos. I'll drink a double and have the lady friend over and talk by the firelight as the rain starts. When it calms to a gentle patter we'll walk the neon slick city streets and feel the exhilaration of the cool clean air and each others company.
@C2Dlive I agree!!! This quartet was so creative and talented...ECM owes this quartet a huge debt. So much of what has become know as the ECM sound can be traced back to this quartet.
All the more amazing is that this recording so outdoes the original record recording. This take is not only so different from the original soundtrack, but so much richer. One of the most affecting tunes I have ever heard.
I have an idea!!! Instead of everybody acting like a total bad ass behind a computer making feeble attempts to insult each other because of a difference of opinion, we can just sit here and enjoy the fantastic music being played by some of the greatest musicians ever! I get so sick of hearing the same old Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga sucks and should die. If you don't like them, don't listen to them!
In my humble opinion, THIS is the single most perfect piece of music ever composed and performed! AWESOME!
There is a shorter version (crummy live recording) of this piece on an unauthorized CD compilation, "Brubeck - The Quartet" that I might like even just a tiny bit better than this version. (But a couple more listens, and this might be my favorite version...) Any one know if this particular performance is on an album?
at this 4 minutes of the movie we are become wistful and then raise out in anger which not so beautiful nor can you escape into the music but are brought back to the present of the musicians and the standing there on the stage perhaps appropriate for the ending of this most beautiful work!!
is whether its 5/4 or 5/8 a serious question????? Get a life, it doesnt matter if it's notated in 5/8 or 5/4- the point is it's in 5. Why does it matter if that's a quarter note pulse or eight note pulse?? Who cares??? Either can be right...
@pokerbone Hi it's me again, to be sincere you are complitely right. we both are rigth but it was fine, keep a conversation with people of another country.
@MarkR1957 I think if I was notating this I'd be writing it in 5/8. I'm not starting a fight or anything though. LOL just saying it feels a bit more 5/8 than 5/4. I'm just thinking of the way the melody would have to be written.
The drums are like two bars of 5/8 but the feel of the piece is nothing like 5/8 and exactly like 5/4.
If you have to tap the beat of this piece you'll be tapping quarter notes. In 5/8 you'll be tapping an eight note followed by a dotted eight note (1-and-2-and-uh).
@CreatureMontage Check this out, sonny boy - On Dave's liner notes on the album "Time In", HE states it's in 5/4. I have the sheet music. IT says 5/4. Joe Morello HIMSELF told me it's in 5/4.
So, I guess Dave Brubeck, Joe Morello AND the sheet music are wrong, and you're right - is that what you're saying?
@CreatureMontage Hi man are you all right? 8 is very short. Take a look at how long the melody takes, the time is 10/4 and the melody works around "colcheia" as we call 8 here And jazz is usually wrote in 4, ex: 4/4 5/4 10/4.
i fucking hat Dave Brubeck.... Hes a sax player who cares.... wth he acomplish wut a faggot... probably wasted his life on this shit called saxaphone... Wut a douch.. LOL u guys all suck my cock and listen to cock songs xD
A recent article in the Camp Verde Bugle said there were beautiful lyrics to this song: "Forty days alone in the desert, days and nights of constant prayer, seeking in the waiting wind an answer to despair"..."Forty days of questioning: Why was he there, in the lonely desert? Forty days of fasting and prayer, searching for his destined role..."
I'd like to find those lyrics. They sound inspiring.
@clebercoxaroots well hey Lady Gaga is at least a musician...she can play piano. BUT people listen to crap like Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z. Makes me wonder what is wrong with people. So limited in their music choices. Sadly most people can't appereciate the beauty in this music :(
dis nigga Bruebeck or whoever tha fuck aint got shit going wit lil waynes rap career, this niga hatin on wayne cause wayne feed his self he aint got to suck another niggas tittie just to eat yo, i just heard about this nigga last week that means hes a nobody another sucka duck ass cracka. i'm off, yo pussy ass niggas can have this shit but before i go i just want to let all yo pussy ass niggas that say lil wayne and jay z aint got shit watch this years grammy's fool.
I'm not really sure which is worse. The fact that you think speaking quickly with a computer playing pre recorded samples behind you and usually auto tuning and editing it takes more talent than playing and improv-ing off of original tunes on the spot, or the fact that I could barely understand a single word you typed. You pretty much lost your argument the minute you wrote this response because no one can honestly take someone with your grammar seriously.
@homeworld4 Comment like that are why INTELLIGENT people hate rap.
It's not music. It's crap. Those clowns are not musicians. It takes a genious musician to appreciate the subtle complexities of jazz. Oh sorry let me translate in to "gangsta" for you. You a stupid bitch, and dat why you aint heard of diss nigga. Lil' Wayne aint shit. rap ain' music, nigga.
Don't dis Jazz just because you're too stupid to understand it. Go on and threaten my life via internet now too...
@xyseth Sorry for that idiot. It's people like him that make me embarrassed to be a Hip Hop fan sometimes. However, I would have to disagree that rap isn't music. Anytime an older generation witnesses the onset of a new musical genre, they usually dismiss it as being trash because they don't understand it. It happened with rock and roll, it happened with funk and then hip hop. And people see only one aspect of rap music which is unfortunately perpetuated by people like Lil Wayne.
@homeworld4 oh yeah and if you ask A MUSICIAN, or an INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEING about music, they will know who Brubeck is. And this is DECADES later. A year from now, Lil Wayne will be a nobody once again.
@xyseth I find it both hilarious and sad that you consider Lil Wayne to represent hip-hop music in general just because of your ignorance of the genre. Judging an entire category of music based solely on a single person who CLAIMS to be a musician can hardly be considered fair. Real hip-hop(not the mainstream pop calling itself hip-hop)has many of its roots in jazz, which, ironically, you seem to enjoy. Bashing hip-hop just because Lil Wayne's an idiot only reflects your lack of intelligence.
@homeworld4 the fact u only heard him 3 weeks ago means that you have no musical history :) Theres probs thousands of people that have changed the world that you dont know about. And with out jazz, most music u listen to would exist, its pretty much the first Pop music. So go and smoke that through your blind magazine reading howl, 'nigga'
@homeworld4 you must not speak of the race in anger!! this we have seen to destroy, the world with Hitler and his speech.
Countries in flames because of words such as these. all ran away to America to leave this hate
You must know this thing it is, not strenthg but weakness to say 'my race is the great' for, Jews and Gypsies can know only how this will be if it continues among the people
yes our lifetimes of Gypsies who are no more can, never be replaced. To say these things again is NO to life
@xyseth well said i just cant stand people who listen to citchy music then try to convince people who like this genius and jazz in general it just makes me mad
5 people gave this a thumbs down. I am not really sure how or why because theis is phenominal. The amount of emotion in the entire band's playing is inexplicable. This is what jazz is about.
No need to be ignorant. I'm actually glad to know more about the man.
I am sure there is a great deal of knowledge that you haven't stuffed in that ignorant brain of yours. I wouldn't call you stupid if you weren't aware of something.
Anyway, your asinine behavior aside... Thanks for the info!
@EuphoricDan I can understand you not knowing. However, note the attitude you expressed in the comment you posted. At least the attitude you gave off. As if it bothers you that he looks elsewhere as he's playing, drawing comparisons to Lang Lang who is commonly ridiculed in the world of classical music because of his widely unpopular theatrics and alleged lack of musical sensitivity? And the comment about the glasses he wears (to mask the blindness), in a way that's seemingly poking fun at them?
@EuphoricDan That's why I was "ignorant," it was in response to your own display of it. However, if your comment wasn't intended to be taken the way in which I did, apologies.
I wish people still wrote with ideas like this. Almost nothing progressive today that sounds anything like this swings half as well, if you know what I mean.
@TheMinor2major I think they just need to be reintroduced to it first. I just happened to stumble upon jazz a couple months ago because i was bored, now i want to find more jazz groups.
I was fortunate to have been given 4th row center seats by Dave at the world premier of his oratorio at Lincoln Center . You have to see and hear this performance with the 200-voice choir. You'll never forget it. It was spine tingling.

Out of curiosity, considering the Brubeck Quartet had quite a few songs in 5/4, did Joe have any other basic patterns for the time signature? All the 5/4 I've heard from him has the same "1-2-a-3-4-a-5" on the ride with some snare comping variation. It seems like he might, at some point, get tired of that. Far be it from me to call it plain- I just think he'd have wanted to experiment with that a bit more, and probably did.
Not that I haven't wondered the same thing...but would a similar comment about a jazz drummer playing in 6/8 be equally as valid? Ting ting-te-ting ting-te-ting, hi-hat on the even beats, over and over and over...this is what friends of mine who "can't stand jazz" complain about, they say "it all sounds the same." Of course, so does blues, or a classic rock boom-boom-THWACK, boom-boom-THWACK to the uninitiated. The differences, such as w/ Morello's 5/4, are subtle...one has to dig deeper.
Your friends' perceptions are too incredibly off. I mean, that's one of the reasons that I love jazz. I don't see how they don't realize how terribly boring an eighth note hi-hat pattern with snare on 3 or 2 and 4 is. Go figure. :\
@Isntthisalreadytaken, that statement doesnt make you seem like a smart guy. actually you sound just as stupid as earthgong's friend who can't stand the jazz rythm. It all depends on the musical context and how it's played, i think i could listen to steve gadd/rick marotta/jeff porcaro etc. play basic rock rythm all day, as i could listen to jo jones play basic jazz beats - music can be extremely complicated and amazing sounding even at its most basic and simple form.
Yeah that did seem stupid. It's just that that's what I one thing I liked about jazz when I first got into it. Really, if I hated simplicity, I would probably hate jazz because I would get discouraged over my own soloing capabilities. Hell, I could Mozambique all day, myself. As a matter of fact, the other day there was this guy sitting in the band room after Jazz Band waiting on something playing his guitar, and I jammed with him. I mostly played simple blues and rock patterns. It was some of
the most fun I've had in a while. This is dragging on a little much; the point is that I've nothing against simplicity. It was just a crappily thought-out comment that pertained to a particular situation, for lack of a better term.
Agreed. If your friends actually understood how awe inspiring some of the stuff that Morello does is, they might rethink there thoughts. As you said, it's very subtle, and if one lacks proper understanding of the subject matter and how one goes about doing it, it would seem boring. In actuality, it is pretty creative and interesting to watch and listen to.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
God I wish Joe Morello would take those damn sunglasses off! Who does he think he is, Corey Hart? He looks like a total prick. "I'm sooooo cooooool, wearin' my shades inside!"
Ugh.
OK, maybe that was harsh, maybe he had some kind of eye surgery or something and he needed them. God, I hope that's it.
True, even now he could mess me up. Monk wore sunglasses indoors occasionally, too so I guess I'll lay off Joe. I was just having a bad day, I suppose.
Brubeck was a great pianist and a real jazzman: despite his innovations and classical influences, he was always plaing JAZZ! (this video is a perfect example). Some "jazzmen" nowdays play an undeterminable kind of music - that' s not necessarily bad, but don't call it jazz, please!
This is supposed to evoke the imagery of either Moses waiting to receive the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai or Jesus being tempted by Satan in the desert for Forty Days
The Saxophone solo is supposed to represent the desert and being alone in it. Personally, I think Brubecks piano introduction, in particular, evokes the essential quality of solitude of being totally and utterly alone. It sends shivers up and down my spine every time I hear it.
That, and just the first little lick or two from Desmond. It's like a little sigh let out at the realization of... not exactly hopelessness, but I'm sure you see what I'm getting at. It's brilliant as hell.
This is one of the most beatiful tunes I've ever heard. Everything about it is so... Beautiful. And every note in Desmond's solo seems so thought through. Daaamn...

A recent article in the Camp Verde Bugle said there were beautiful lyrics to this song: "Forty days alone in the desert, days and nights of constant prayer, seeking in the waiting wind an answer to despair"..."Forty days of questioning: Why was he there, in the lonely desert? Forty days of fasting and prayer, searching for his destined role..."
I'd like to find those lyrics. They sound inspiring.

I'm not really sure which is worse. The fact that you think speaking quickly with a computer playing pre recorded samples behind you and usually auto tuning and editing it takes more talent than playing and improv-ing off of original tunes on the spot, or the fact that I could barely understand a single word you typed. You pretty much lost your argument the minute you wrote this response because no one can honestly take someone with your grammar seriously.

@homeworld4 Comment like that are why INTELLIGENT people hate rap.
It's not music. It's crap. Those clowns are not musicians. It takes a genious musician to appreciate the subtle complexities of jazz. Oh sorry let me translate in to "gangsta" for you. You a stupid bitch, and dat why you aint heard of diss nigga. Lil' Wayne aint shit. rap ain' music, nigga.
Don't dis Jazz just because you're too stupid to understand it. Go on and threaten my life via internet now too...

@xyseth Sorry for that idiot. It's people like him that make me embarrassed to be a Hip Hop fan sometimes. However, I would have to disagree that rap isn't music. Anytime an older generation witnesses the onset of a new musical genre, they usually dismiss it as being trash because they don't understand it. It happened with rock and roll, it happened with funk and then hip hop. And people see only one aspect of rap music which is unfortunately perpetuated by people like Lil Wayne.

xyseth 1 year ago
@xyseth I find it both hilarious and sad that you consider Lil Wayne to represent hip-hop music in general just because of your ignorance of the genre. Judging an entire category of music based solely on a single person who CLAIMS to be a musician can hardly be considered fair. Real hip-hop(not the mainstream pop calling itself hip-hop)has many of its roots in jazz, which, ironically, you seem to enjoy. Bashing hip-hop just because Lil Wayne's an idiot only reflects your lack of intelligence.

@EuphoricDan I can understand you not knowing. However, note the attitude you expressed in the comment you posted. At least the attitude you gave off. As if it bothers you that he looks elsewhere as he's playing, drawing comparisons to Lang Lang who is commonly ridiculed in the world of classical music because of his widely unpopular theatrics and alleged lack of musical sensitivity? And the comment about the glasses he wears (to mask the blindness), in a way that's seemingly poking fun at them?

Surmusicp 2 years ago
Out of curiosity, considering the Brubeck Quartet had quite a few songs in 5/4, did Joe have any other basic patterns for the time signature? All the 5/4 I've heard from him has the same "1-2-a-3-4-a-5" on the ride with some snare comping variation. It seems like he might, at some point, get tired of that. Far be it from me to call it plain- I just think he'd have wanted to experiment with that a bit more, and probably did.
Isntthisalreadytaken 2 years ago
Not that I haven't wondered the same thing...but would a similar comment about a jazz drummer playing in 6/8 be equally as valid? Ting ting-te-ting ting-te-ting, hi-hat on the even beats, over and over and over...this is what friends of mine who "can't stand jazz" complain about, they say "it all sounds the same." Of course, so does blues, or a classic rock boom-boom-THWACK, boom-boom-THWACK to the uninitiated. The differences, such as w/ Morello's 5/4, are subtle...one has to dig deeper.
earthgong 2 years ago 3
Your friends' perceptions are too incredibly off. I mean, that's one of the reasons that I love jazz. I don't see how they don't realize how terribly boring an eighth note hi-hat pattern with snare on 3 or 2 and 4 is. Go figure. :\
Isntthisalreadytaken 2 years ago
@Isntthisalreadytaken, that statement doesnt make you seem like a smart guy. actually you sound just as stupid as earthgong's friend who can't stand the jazz rythm. It all depends on the musical context and how it's played, i think i could listen to steve gadd/rick marotta/jeff porcaro etc. play basic rock rythm all day, as i could listen to jo jones play basic jazz beats - music can be extremely complicated and amazing sounding even at its most basic and simple form.
MMMuller 2 years ago
Yeah that did seem stupid. It's just that that's what I one thing I liked about jazz when I first got into it. Really, if I hated simplicity, I would probably hate jazz because I would get discouraged over my own soloing capabilities. Hell, I could Mozambique all day, myself. As a matter of fact, the other day there was this guy sitting in the band room after Jazz Band waiting on something playing his guitar, and I jammed with him. I mostly played simple blues and rock patterns. It was some of
Isntthisalreadytaken 2 years ago
the most fun I've had in a while. This is dragging on a little much; the point is that I've nothing against simplicity. It was just a crappily thought-out comment that pertained to a particular situation, for lack of a better term.

@Isntthisalreadytaken fair enough =)=)
MMMuller 2 years ago
Agreed. If your friends actually understood how awe inspiring some of the stuff that Morello does is, they might rethink there thoughts. As you said, it's very subtle, and if one lacks proper understanding of the subject matter and how one goes about doing it, it would seem boring. In actuality, it is pretty creative and interesting to watch and listen to.

God I wish Joe Morello would take those damn sunglasses off! Who does he think he is, Corey Hart? He looks like a total prick. "I'm sooooo cooooool, wearin' my shades inside!"
Ugh.
OK, maybe that was harsh, maybe he had some kind of eye surgery or something and he needed them. God, I hope that's it.

Brubeck was a great pianist and a real jazzman: despite his innovations and classical influences, he was always plaing JAZZ! (this video is a perfect example). Some "jazzmen" nowdays play an undeterminable kind of music - that' s not necessarily bad, but don't call it jazz, please!

This is supposed to evoke the imagery of either Moses waiting to receive the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai or Jesus being tempted by Satan in the desert for Forty Days
The Saxophone solo is supposed to represent the desert and being alone in it. Personally, I think Brubecks piano introduction, in particular, evokes the essential quality of solitude of being totally and utterly alone. It sends shivers up and down my spine every time I hear it.
