Hey CreightonGriffiths, did you see where I posted my correction. I posted a correction on who wrote the song and the quartet name.

@JayeRo CORRECTION. Paul Desmond wrote it but performed it with Dave Brubeck in the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

The song credit says Paul Desmond's Take Five, but actually it's Dave Brubeck's Take Five with Paul Desmond on sax.

@JayeRo Hi Jaye. Lots of people think Dave Brubeck wrote Take 5 but he did not. Take 5 was written by Paul Desmond - at the time Paul was a member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet and the tune was used as the bands signature tune. So it was performed by Dave Brubeck, made famous by Dave Brubeck but was written by Paul Desmond. You can check this out easily at loads of web sites about both Paul Desmond and Dave Brubeck.

Great tempo! You just need a better audio pickup as there's too much ambient echo.

@lohphat - I know it is a real pity - problem was the built in microphone on video camera which we used for this, it is not very good. We how have a special pickup for the harp and should be able to use this next time we do some recordings.
