Hadn't heard Wonderful Copenhagen for many years. I used to have the album when I was stationed in Germany in the 1960's and listened to it constantly. Can't seem to buy it anymore. Appreciate hearing it again!
Check out the Eric Mintel Quartet here on You Tube they play lots of things in 5/4 especially on their new CD 50 Years After...A Tribute to Dave Brubeck. There's a piece I wrote called Ten on One that's in 5/4. Enjoy. By the way this is Take Five live from Carnegie Hall from the 1963 Brubeck album, the Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall.
I'd like to say thanks for all the comments and your remarks. I recorded these to C-cassette from a radio program in 1991 and obviously from material still vinyl recordings back then. But nevertheless, a big step towards understanding jazz music for me.
This is Take Five originally from the 1963 Carnegie Hall NY concert released as "DBQ at Carnegie Hall". I think that at some point a couple of those tunes were bundled into a "compilation" CD with live previously released concert recordings from the "DBQ in Europe" album. Great tracks but all previously available.
Amazing, thanks for sharing. I had this LP many years ago, but it got lost whan moving house some time ago. Wonderful Copenhagen has been my favourite for many years. It is wonderfor to hear how the quarted plays in 3/4 and 4/4 at the same time, in particular when Dave Brubeck falls in at time line 7:16 and onwards, where the rest of the band remain in 3/4 while he is in 4/4

This is the only 5/4 piece I've ever heard. Do any others exist?

There is another excellent Brubeck piece called "Take Ten". It is in 5/4 but has a very different feel than "Take Five".

"This tune should be familiar to you...In fact you should know it."
Brubeck said this as he announced this tune to an audience in Copenhagen where the track on the album "Dave Brubeck in Europe" was recorded.
Desmond was at his best here.
I bought this LP when it was first issued and still have it. It too is one of my favourite tunes too.
