[Deniss1504]

[kuatkuat80]

[WolfPaintedBlood]

[MegaFarmer9]

[eggles15]

Black people and the bass is greatest things since sliced bread

[MyBabsou]

[derisionman]

fabuleuse vidéo, un morceau d'anthologie exécuté par des musiciens hors pair !!

[BH21206]

Great drum solo by one the best. And naturally the Desmond saxman and the whole group was superb.

[Fredrika25m]

OMG. I have been listening to this album since art class 1969 and have never seen them perform "live"! Brilliant!!!!! Thank you Youtube!

[stereoears1]

If the image is a little grainy then what accounts for the superior sound quality?

[amboarder]

So much class and sophistication that you just don't get in music these days.

[gregwddriver]

That really swings, cat!

[WalkerBros4Ever]

The playing on each instrument is wonderfully understated and yet so nailed-on right!!!!

[Castiwr]

Absolutely!!!



[majulka12]

I just LOVE it. There's nothing more to say. ;)

[donnabonadonna]

mvp019, i totally concur,who and how can there be disikes,if this is not your cup of tea ,pour it out and try something else.so classic and standard setting ,there are no words ,im just to lazy to go look for complaints,so much more good music to see and hear,i couldnt waste any more time than this comment took,whatever was said,i feel bad for those souls,,some just "dont get it".............. peace love and light fellow music lovers

[arak718]

いつ聴いてもええもんはええ

[mvp019]

Who are the 6 cretins that "don't like"????

[goorance]

preaty amaizing rhitam 4/4 :) dooing all that whit drums is damn ART

[Worqfis]

@goorance it's 5/4

[450984]

Dave's still around and working at 90 years of age! Keep it up, and thanks for the sounds all these years!

[ExploreEgypt]

Do I need to promote Egypt??

[jasont2333]

love the way morello nods at brubeck at 3.19 to get back on the piano...different class!!!

[ATM2400]

Magnificent ! True perfection of harmonious chaos at its best!! Love it!

[amboarder]

so much class, so clean, so fresh, so smooth, so good.

[3DAndy76]

RIP Joe Morello :(

[imcabezas]

Timeless, Just Great!

[dabrovi402]

dont write the name of this video Dave Brubeck cuz this is not his coposition ,,is

Paul Desmond

[PrimeDefection]

@dabrovi402 he didn't, he wrote it "Dave Brubeck Quartet", meaning the Dave Brubeck Quartet is performing it, which they are.

[LentejOfficial]

J-MAZING !

[MrDrumsPhilAmbros]

ONLY ONE DRUMMER IN THE WORLD GOULD PLAY WITH DAVE AND THAT DRUMMER WAS JOE, I WAS BUDDY RICH BEST FRIEND AND HE TOLD ME THAT TO JOE WAS THE BEST AND STILL IS PHIL AMBROS, SEE PHIL ON YOUTUBE SINATRA AND PHIL AMBROS I WISH I COULD PLAY LIKE JOE

[chukklebunny]

Ah the sax, the piano the bass.....mmmmmmmm

[chukklebunny]

Ah the drumming!

[083770]

superb. iconic jazz. fantastic.

[visaman]

@ 4:`18 Joe says to himself , "I've had enough" and brings the song to an abrupt end.

[Yazuac23]

2:13 - 2:34

BLAST BEAT \m/

[Artamed3]

Jazz technician

[gootenslog]

Its incredible to see the pure musicianship on display here....professionals at the height of their talent.

[gootenslog]

THIS IS MUSIC.

[imavaughanstar]

0:06 Just that sitting groove is good enough. But the saxophone's lines add even more to the song!!!!!!!!!!

[1953jazzman]

One of the greatest things about jazz as a genre is the amount of freedom involved! I never get bored collecting different performances of these guys wailing on this wonderous piece, because the essence of jazz is never having to play a tune the same way twice! Check Joe Morello's solo here - it is a completely amazing reinvention of the famous one on the Time Out album - Dave and Paul also do the same in more subtle ways!!

[capjoartist1200]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISTER BRUBECK,GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,THANK FOR THIS UNIQUE MUSIC,look at Joe Morrelo the drummer,WOOOOW WHAT A SOLO,SUPER GOOD

[Q80YA]

Happy birthday Mr. burbeck

[snowartmom]

Happy 90th Birthday Dave! 

[71JUSTINCASE]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE BRUBECK!!! 90 Years old today, and he's still playing. Saw him perform a couple of years ago! Many more DAVE!

[MarkR1957]

Dave, Paul and Eugene were quite fortunate - they got to see Joe play like this every night ~

[56captvideo]

"There are more things in heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in mainstream media's imaginations..."

[97erRockster]

That GROOVES !!! Great

[worseto]

Music and musicians in general have always been intergrated racially way ahead of civilization because of all the styles , forms of music so interesting, music overcomes all race borders. We could say Love in the form of music bonds the attraction of color and culture.

[bilbobagins1951]

cool

[pruneytoes]

Joe Morello is the epitome of cool.

[blapis89]

i love the style and the mutual respect they show, dave turned around to watch joe's solo and he even forgot to enter right after he finished it...so into it... just brilliant

[wafertheen]

drum masterclass right there! they're playing it too fast though.

[donnabonadonna]

@wafertheen picky,picky,picky!!!!!

[wafertheen]

drum masterclass right there!

[x1te]

2:50 to 3:20 is mindblowing

[rolfedrengen]

My world just changed! Morello.. wow!

[DIMZEROCENT]

wow the drummer !

[JazzyMagician]

Immortal music,,, in a thousand years from now people will listen to this music and say : " those were the days,,,, we were born too late,,"...

[musart32]

DRUM SOLO! Weird Al, anyone?

[vrai69]

Great joyous moment for me to find that Dave Brubeck has been rediscovered by the young generation. Sonnie in San Francisco.

[manu974aimwill]

c'est splendide, je go l'apprendre dès maintenant ! ^^

[koreamy]

so cool-thanks for posting

[worseto]

I think that is actually dan akroid in black an white on the drums there. LOL.

[DickAllen1972]

They used to use this as the theme music for the late, late movie on TV when I was a kid in the 60's. It always made me think of wet, dark city streets, very hip people moving from one nightclub to another in trench coats and dresses, and neon lights glowing in the summer dark. Such a great atmospheric piece of music.

[2242arthur1]

love thus love i am lezrning to play it on guitar

[Thesoz66]

Love the sound on this recording Brubeck what a legend.

[pigsezoink]

this is such an Iconic jazz piece.

and this was nice to get the visual too.

[marlinus64]

I sometimes think I like the slightly faster version better, but I guess nothing can touch the original.

[drezdin123]

The way Morello's left hand pops in at 1:56 is so pimp! *ga-dat*

[LambNLions]

Grew up hearing this song on nearly every television show of my young age, and its only now I finally know who did it? Thank you for reminding me of this one.

[Eleonora4646]

magnificently

[PeralesRafael]

Um dos melhores clássicos do Jazz de todos os tempos, numa excelente performance, gostei muito!

[SouBrazil]

Clássico dos Clássicos!!

Arrakis40, Muito obrigado por compartilhar.

[epuchalla]

damn I don't think I've ever seen anybody switch their snare on WHILE soloing. and in 5/4 too!

[pozzog]

this is refreshing

[Lucca1994]

Geiles Lied, Alt aber immernoch gut :D

[gocal777]

wow ! Joe's really cooking there, let the feelings flow Joe.

[bronken]

great, anyone knows where i cam get this version in a good audio quality?

got the one from the itunes store, but this is way cooler

[QuietGalTalking]

cool cats

[paulgomes100]

Não tem como não gostar!

[djmifi]

@1.57 check out how he takes out the drum stick.. effortless

[dalmanation]

@djmifi they do it with magnets

[tekapa23]

@djmifi YES !!! I rewind back trying to see from where he picked up the stick !

[radicright]

What's wrong with segregation? It's merely a form of free association.

[skillnub70]

Anyone know what kind of snare/snare head that is, sounds fucking awesome!

[TubeGunner]

One of the baddest and iconic jazz tunes ever recorded. Simply brilliant.

[razer710]

the drum solo kicks asses ! damn nice work and Jazz is awesome.

[Elpimpin]

Tonight I've become a fan of jazz.

[seapoacher]

I've been listen to Take Five since I was a kid.

Joe plays 5/4 as smooth as the best drummers play 4/4.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

[elmotpoopie]

tht drummer is a fuckin g. tht drum solo was ill

[Jadyellow8]

5 never sounded so smooth

[cav28drummer]

This is real music!! Joe Morello, what a monster!

[yeagemk]

a calm, cool, relaxed monster ;-).

[DrStrangeLulz]

Probably my favorite drum solo of all time.

[EsplorazioneSpaziale]

My favourite is the interpretation of the 61' because jackets, tie and glasses seems to see the Kraftwerk of the Jazz!

Cool at that time !!! Great !!!

[andrewfontana]

from wikipedia: "In the late 1950s and early 1960s Brubeck canceled several concerts because the club owners or hall managers resisted the idea of an integrated band on their stages. He also canceled a television appearance when he found out that the producers intended to keep Wright off-camera."

Go Dave ! ! ! Serve those narrow minded people "Wright" ! ! !

[morochamaria]

@andrewfontana Thanks for de information...!!! Dave Brubeck great artist and great person...!!!!

[ABigOneLikeDaddys]

@andrewfontana Dear Andrew, he's dead already !

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[TravellingMan79]

@andrewfontana I wondered for a moment what you meant about "integrated band". Then it dawned on me, that we were in the era of segregation back then. I take it as a sign that there is hope for humanity after all, by simply having to think about what "integrated band" meant and that I would personally find something like that abhorrent by today's standards. Either that or I'm a complete ignoramus. But I hope not!!

[Aepullo68]

@TravellingMan79 Please, enlighten me on an aspect of english language: what is the difference between an ignorant and an ignoramus? Apart from the latter being someone who wants to pose as posh, educated and elitist and uses a latin word meaning "we ignore"; thereby comitting a grammatical mistake when talking about himself (1st person singular) and an unforgivable "faute de goût". *Real question*

[TravellingMan79]

@Aepullo68 I don't know where you're coming from with your "faute de goût" comment, but I recommend that you read my original comment again closely. Instead of tripping over my grammar, you should read the actual message.

[newaver64]

@andrewfontana you know,that the best news i heard all day,...thanks.

[emphasiskill]

@andrewfontana true that!!!



[bus114]

Extant, I hope your comment was meant to be a joke (a weak one, if so). Some people go through life looking for a racial angle to everything. I hope you're not one of them. If you are, please note that Brubeck also played a supporting role in this number, in which the spotlight was on Morello and Desmond.

[extant1206]

What, they didn't allow black guys to Trade Fours in those days?

[ramirodespagne]

Brubeck il hallucine devant Joe Morello!!!

[ramirodespagne]

ouahuuuuuu!!!!!! je suis sur le cul peut etre le meilleur morceau que j'ai jamais ecouté

[LucasMarquesGHC]

joe morello is between buddy rich, gene krupa, mitch mitchell, John Bonham and Keith Moon for sure

[Warchaon]

non mi sazio mai di vederlo questo video

[bkeay100]

Joe Morello is KING!!!

[byq500]

AMAZING!

[TheSeventyfour74]

Incredible Joe Morello!!!

[thenurse36]

Morello is a freakin' GENIUS!!!

[ricardo4ever]

The past 3 years I think . I have been mostly Dave Brubeck song, I can't tell what song is the best but I believe blue rondo a la turk , take five are simple one of the best pieces in Jazz , Just to name the most known song played and created by Dave.

I just can't say how good his music are, just listen.

[geoog1]

what a pity this had no more than about 53000 views within two whole years

[scaramoochscaramooch]

Oh my god if i could only play this on the drums.........gasp!!

[ceterafan123]

Nederland 3! Nederlander!!!

[skGonzo]

fantastico

[hamorir]

Hát ez mekkora zene, te jó ég!!!

Nagyon nagyot alkotott Brubeck!

Minden elismerésem.

[masmddds]

I enjoy virtually every type of music out there: metal, punk, new age, R&B, rap, hard rock--you name it. But from watching this video, it's clear to me that few performers, if any, truly have the kind of genius in their respective genres and mastery of the instruments they play as the greats like the four gentlemen playing in this video do. They were, and still are, head and shoulders above the rest, and truly make a lot of the music out there that I typically enjoy just sound like noise.

[electrontube]

@masmddds If you think this is good, go look at Buddy Rich on the drums or Chick Corea on the piano.

[rpminc12]

@electrontube This is about four great musicians not one Take Five song and the album Time Out is the ultimate jass song/album that is unsurpassed by anyone in jazz ever. !!!

[mindingosafado]

damn @ 1:57 when morello makes it look so effortless when we just kinda waves the drum stick across a bunch of drums

[MrPennysdad]

you're right...amazing it's like the other hand is from another body!!

[PibedeOro28]

is that song b charlie parker ?

[perla51]

I love this jazz piece!!Thanks Edgar for share!!!! Kisses Perla.

[StreetGirLIsa]

Master Piece !

[richintalent]

As I recall, this was very very hard for bands to arrange as it's in 5/4 time.

[ajlaggui]

our jazz band played it... it kinda was watered down though....

[PullerPranke]

my favourite jazz quartet, they re just brilliant!

[moehead7]

I think joe is a more musical drummer than buddy ever was.

[Colton5]

Copacetic

[gregwddriver]

That swings, cat!

[Recondos101]

Saw them live at a military club in 1965 at Ft Sill Oklahoma. It is hard to explain the effect they have on a live audience. They are just amazing live performers. In the 60s, Cool was spelled DBQ They were masters of the Jazz club, live performance.

[gmcjetpilot]

Your story, WOW, cooooool! That is not something you will ever forget. Jealous, but I was 4. I did not start clubing till 6. ha ha.

[Dorsch123]

which technique uses morello for the fast single strokes (?) at the beginning ?

[gmcjetpilot]

His (Joe Morello) technique is God given talent and practice. Look up his other videos. His SS rolls are fast.

Look at the bass player and Morello, they are like one, smooth, fluid and at the same time tight, grooving like they were born doing it. You can't really learn it, you have to feel it. You have it or you don't.

All the players take thier time, look at and hear each other. A lot of players don't do that today, same way same day, but not really in formation.

[1hipgig]

Dorsch123,

Morello use the Lawrence Stone technique...IE, "Stick Control" ...Stone wrote that book and many have studied it, Stone was Morello's personal teacher in the 40's. Joe also uses the "Gladstone" technique `ala Buddy Rich, Dave Weckl, Jo Jo Mayer, Sonny Payne etc.

Hope that helps.

[ellicsod]

What coolness for Morello at 3:19.

[diwagraffiti]

speechless, this is music at its purest form

[andydavenhall]

same song different take... there's another joe morello drum solo for Take 5 on you tube that is equally as impressive... he invented cool.

[Uzumakijuli]

es genial!!!!!!!!

[slippyfists]

which year was this one

[epluribusunom]

1961, said at the beginning of the video

[elphil1989]

Going to see him at the Montréal Jazz Fest!

[34vicker]

I dig the up stroke hits on the ride at 2:25 while rim shotting the floor tom. Amazing!

[yaacka1]

WOW !!! so much said in such a subtle concise way.

[epn10]

What exactly is morello doing from 3:01 to 3:04? It sounds so syncopated over that 5/4 pulse...yet it miraculously fits.

Also, that fill around 1:57 is brilliantly phrased.

[grumpygaz]

im leaning this on drums

[RebellionLord]

Yay for Brubeck!

[NapoleonJones]

This song holds 2 favorites for me. Firstly its one of my favorite Jazz songs, and secondly it has one of my favorite drum solo's of all time.

Brilliant song.

[mohenry]

is that joe morello on drums???

[drycomplexity]

You betcha!

[CrazySaxophon]

echt cool aber da is bei 0:20 ein Fehler

[goodluckpeace44]

his drumer went so fast

[Colton5]

i want this version on cd

[2short2q]

Morello is one of the coolest drummers ever. He makes it look so casual while other drummers work their butts off just to stay in 4/4 time.

[ironrinn81]

I love it

[warney91]

lol dawgs i got to take a solo on this piece in a concert next week

it's damn hard-a new chord every half a bar, in 5/4

:^p

[icehawk1223]

i solo on this song in jazz band, our the chords do change but if you look its only 2 scales that change. ex. the arrangement we have the chords are Dm and Am. it always swtiches back from Dm to Am the only difference is if it adds the 7th so it might be a Dm7 or an Am7. What i'm getting at is that if you stick with the two root chords your safe, and you will always be right

[tabalugata]

are there other celebrated songs in 5/4?

[st4irwaytoheaven]

one of the best songs in 5/4

[hardcoreRawrkitty]

2:50 when he pushes his glasses back on his nose. Brillient

[epn10]

that is one of the best drum solos

[goodluckpeace44]

and the whole song is one of the best in this version

[trumpetcuber1]

It looks like his hand is getting ready to explode for real at 3:06

[cupofsoda]

right at 2:08 it looks like joe almost sliped up

[DrSandmann]

This is one of those songs that brings a smile to my face no matter where, when, or how many times I hear it. A truly fantastic piece of music.

[DazedSheep]

I concur! It raises the spirit

[oldedrum]

I love Brubeck watchin' Joe on the solo!--Ha!

[alexveno]

does anyone know if and where you can find drum sheet music for dave brubeck?

[VitomirBGD]

5/4 I love it :)

[AAAAkuuuu]

Wish they would have let the brother get a solo... but great song.

[Tsuruta1]

To me, I think this combination of instruments is the only way to hear this tune. Especially when it's Dave Brubeck !

[Yesnog05]

I've heard this song in many movies and I recall hearing it on the Simpsons. It took me forEVER to find the song...and here it is!

Thank you for posting it up! I'd give you 10 stars for this if I ever got the chance

[yelowmi]

Sex? That seems to be a queer analogy to me.

[pianopro9]

this video is pretty close to being the definition of sex, actually wait rephrase, it is sex

[yelowmi]

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I believe morello made a mistake at 2.33.

[controlh]

I think you're right but primarily because of his reaction to playing something he didn't like.

[sebastianmarengo]

true essence of music. Find this kind of music today, no, impossible
