Take Five Dave Brubeck by pianist Val Galaktionov (ValGalaktionov.com) solo piano

[bryceep]

Great stuff, but I felt like he used the low notes a little too much... and at times he lost 5/4 groove, which is not hard to do if you're soloing it

super...love it :)

[eran1909]

the piece is by paul desmond not dave though dave

changed to 5/4

[bluemarkmusic]

@eran1909 exactly 5/4 that's why it's dave, though paul is the MAN too.

[luisrocha26]

@eran1909 Is there the sheet music for the original version by Paul? it was in 4/4?

[josefzachariassen]

@eran1909 it is in 5/4 . Why do you think it is called take 5?

[bluemarkmusic]

@DSOCTORAPK smooth and easy you say, is that all what you know about jazz?

[VideoMenu]

Wow, that was fast. I felt like I just watched a movie taking place on a city bus with a piano on it, and a bomber said "Play Take 5 no slower than 100mph or the bus blows up!"

;)

hey bluemark, you got it right about conceied mud. i looked at BeerMe828 account and there is nothing, blank. That guy can just talk, and when it gets to show yourself he ain't got no guts. And what did he mean by "same arrangement". This pianist is just improvising.. Great job on Dave Brubeck and Val!

you look like a giant monkey yelling as you urge. I play this same arrangement, just as well (I know it sounds conceited, but its true), and I don't feel the urge to make goofy facial expressions as I play...is it the ruski in you?

[bluemarkmusic]

@BeerMe828 when Val plays he doesn't know what happens with his face. You, probably, don't have it, 'cause you have lots of conceied mud on yours.

0:42 --- Amazing!!! Most piano versions of Take Five are choppy and uncoordinated, but this version is wonderful!!!

[gips281]

Very nice!!! Really smooth yet crisp!

[saxophoney]

Wonderful. Most versions of Take Five are clumsey and strained but he smokes.
