Dave Brubeck - Take Five (Montreal Jazz Festival 2009) ♫

[felipexrj]

Só as feras!

[OKEKOBEB]

It's 2009!! Give the song a break would ya? The cello is nice, I would even take a rapper on the stage as long as dave approves!! We have seen the original in its best possible versions. You don't like it? Listen to the original. This is a live performance and live rules apply. If you wanna jam and everybody's happy with it then you are the man. If not, the cat's not coming home.

Tocando el cielo con estos

[Mrhawklanz]

Thank you Dave Kubrek for giving us such a wonderful, beautifully composed tune. Truely a Jazz standard.

[MrKoala0014]

That's one bad ass cellist

[biccio1967]

wow.... che razza di sassofonista!!!

[maxofish]

Great addition , the Cello . Very unusual version , but doen´t beat the original .Thank you for sharing .

[VFAClo]

@maxofish Thanks maxofish. :)

[FirstUsedBooks]

@maxofish Can't beat the earliest versions when Paul Desmond (sax) was still alive.

[maxofish]

@FirstUsedBooks Can´t agree more with you !

[spacelau]

Fabuleux !!!!!!

[musicmarius]

The band is great, and this version of this tune is super. But I 'hate' the Cello here. It is terribly out of key/tune.

[prandolas]

@musicmarius O.O man...it's jazz, no one is ever playing out of the "key".... ;)

[musicmarius]

@prandolas hehe .. that was not what I meant. I mean that the Cello is trying to do a great job, but most of the tones are OR too low or too high in Pitch. I don't know the english word... in Dutch it is 'vals' ...

[prandolas]

@musicmarius yeah I got what your tryin' to say.....honetly, I'm not of the same opinion but...it's ok anyway :)

[shenkeey]

@musicmarius You're talking about dissonance (het nederlandse woord is dissonant, niet vals!)

[musicmarius]

@shenkeey definately not. I do NOT mean dissonance. I mean wrong pitched. Listen to the cello. Most of the time it is just a few Hz too low or too high. When someone plays a C and a D together that is dissonance. But when this C or D is not perfectly pitched it is 'vals' ... and that is what the cello does.

[shenkeey]

@musicmarius I know what dissonance is, and this is dissonance. He is not too low or high; he's exactly in ''pitch'' in jazz; this kind of dissonance makes the rest sound better and makes for a climax

[musicmarius]

@shenkeey I don't believe it. When I hear a Jazz singer I do not hear this kind of wrong pitch. A singer and a violin/cello are comparable; both can push up and down there tones in unlimited steps. A piano can't. I have never heard a Jazz singer (the good ones) doing this. Of course one can slide to or from certain notes, and one can emphasize certain tones by doing this (something Saxophones or electrical guitars sometimes do) but this Cello plays certain phrases a few Hz. too high or too low.

[shenkeey]

@musicmarius Listen to les yeux noirs by the rosenberg trio; they do some dissonant scales too in their playing; its just a form of ''playing around'', to make the piece not as strict.

[musicmarius]

@shenkeey You don't understand me. Probably something with the English. The movie of Les yeux noirs does not show me this. I am not talking about scales containing 'strange tones' I am talking (again, and i'm not going to repeat it) about the cello that is simply pitched WRONG. When one of my pupils sings too high or too low people can also say: ah one should not take the piece too strict. It is simply "vals" ... and that is how this Cello plays here. It's ugly.

[shenkeey]

@musicmarius I know exactly what you mean actually. I mean a ''wrong'' scale with the key, but that makes it playful. This is modern classical/jazz; people explore deeper, but lets agree to disagree.

[musicmarius]

@shenkeey I would love to know in that case why this bloody cello is the ONLY instrument in the combo that plays this way? The sax has the same role, but does not use these 'wrong' pitched tones. It's like putting a big ugly orange stain on a beautiful painting. When everything on the picture is in that style... I'm fine with it... now it simply does not match; at least in my opinion; but I agree: we disagree.

[shenkeey]

@musicmarius Hey, don't get me wrong! I agree, it's not pretty! I just understand WHY he did it, to make the piece have more dept (if all instruments did it the whole piece it would miss the point)

[shenkeey]

@musicmarius And indeed electrical guitars do that; i play both guitar and piano, so i can know haha!

[musicmarius]

@shenkeey Listen from 3:40 and up. Even father dave takes a look in his eye of "Oh my... use those pitch-knobs son!" 

[shenkeey]

@musicmarius Noooo, thats the face youre supposed to get when youre feeling such part of pieces; thats exactly what its meant to give you!

[tommieblaster]

cool version!

[demoleus]

just....wow!!!

[willtrac]

i'm in awe definitely inspired thankyou 

[BassmanII]

Bobby Militello on sax.

[TheMassimop]

i like!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAltoSaxophonist]

Im not trying to hate on this but I preferred Paul Desmond. He was a much better saxophonist than the guy here. He had a much softer tone and a very smooth playing style which I think compliments Dave Brubeck's sound better. The solo here isn't very fitting to the style and rhythms of 'Take Five'. Paul Desmond needs to live on! But not like this...

[MrArsg13]

5/4 beat!~

[AlexBkatzmann]

hes 91!

[gds765red]

I love the violin when its used in jazz

[gds765red]

[RYANN36]

I don't get what the cellist is doing there :P when did they started to use cellos in old school jazz? :P

[demoleus]

@RYANN36 when the cellist is the band leaders son :)

La leyenda viviente!

[123ThisIsMe]

Is it just me to hear the cello performance out of tune ... ?

Everything else sounds brilliant !

[ceboluga]

@123ThisIsMe It's not out of tune, it's dissonance!

[Oli1974]

Dave Brubeck has gotten so old :( but music hopefully will keep him alive for quite some while. Nearly all the good ol' boys are dead now. I am feeling old now, too…

[guitargamery]

this version of take five is just hillarious!! thanks for posting this!! is a master class

[VFAClo]

@guitargamery No prob ;) Thx for watching !

[playbeautiful9]

nothing in comparison to the one and only: PAUL DESMOND!!!!

what a pity the master isn't here with us anymore :(((

[turnitback]

@playbeautiful9 While I agree, don't let's forget another Brubeck great master: the inimitable Joe Morello, who died on 12th March 2011 and was thrilling the percussion world almost up to that day.

[playbeautiful9]

@turnitback absolutely- Morello was a "poet" so to say with his subtle swing similar to desmond

and of course his impeccable technique summed up-my favorite drummer, period.

[laurentlaurent65]

VFAClo : MERCI !!!!

[VFAClo]

@laurentlaurent65 De rien, uploadé avec plaisir ! ;)

[gnihctawsirehtorbgib]

In the words of Paul Newman from the movie The Hustler.... "Boy, he is great! Jeez, that old fat man. Look at the way he moves: like a dancer. And those fingers, them chubby fingers, it's like he's playin' the violin or somethin'. "

[rcortez911]

THIS is music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
