@stepityo i'll "take five" minutes, I guess it's true, since Paul said he composed this piece as an intro for a long drum solo by Joe Morello, and you know, when there's a long drum solo, the other guys "take five"

Excellent!

@littlecasper1 Because of the socially acceptable assumption that ALL Black guys pump profanity-laced hip hop out of their vehicle's speakers. Had I been a White guy, he probably wouldn't have looked at me like he did, or said anything other than "hello"...PEACE.

Why's it relevant that he's white?

"Take Five" is a jazz piece written by Paul Desmond and performed by The Dave Brubeck Quartet on their 1959 album Time Out. Recorded at Columbia's 30th Street Studios in New York City on June 25, July 1, and August 18, 1959,[1] this piece became one of the group's best-known records, famous for its distinctive, catchy saxophone melody and use of the unusual quintuple (5/4) time, from which its name is derived.[2] \

According to legend; this song was actually just the guys messing about during a break. quincy dug the way all the bits came together and decided to put it together properly. They called it; Take Five, after the time that musicians call their break time. Now, that's a legend I heard tell years ago. Kool, huh?
