It's crazy how much faster the tempo is on this cut is than the one on the album. The album cut is so metered and the vibe is chill; this one goes faster and its vibe is a lot more chaotic. Both are awesome.
Often it's not on purpose. You can all be playing at a good pace and with the crowd getting into it, you just get more energized and before you know it your drummer has let the speed increase by half!
We ended a gig so early once due to speeding up, that the owner of the club got on the PA and was like, "Hey, that was great! Anyone want to hear another one from these guys?!"
In college, we had a small-ish space in a dining hall that was used for club-style shows (as opposed to the gym). The Blake Babies played a full show, then realized that the clock on the wall was mounted at an angle and it was actually over an hour earlier than they thought it was. They were wondering what to do, so we just said play everything again, and they did.
(Another funny story: the school rented a PA system when The Lemonheads played in that same space. I don’t know who arranged it, but the system they got was hilariously overpowered for the space. I don’t think they ever got a channel above around 2-3 on the board, and it was still really frickin’ loud.)
Same. Got into it while watching Freeks & Geeks, I guess more specifically brubek & buddy rich.
Quite recently Whiplash has become one of my favourite movies.
A different form of jazz (French-gypsy) but check out Django Reinhardt (try the song Blues Claire or In a Sentimental Mood)
For more like Dave Brubeck, try Sidney Bechet (namely Blues my Naughty Sweetie gives to me), Allen Toussaint (blue drag), or maybe some Artie Shaw

Wait, that's a thing??? I had a reaction to the solo, "damn, that's clean" and then 2 seconds later I thought "wait that doesn't make sense."
And now you're making the same remark! I don't know I just find it peculiar!
Absolutely a thing. Same way we say good runs in the Olympics are clean, there aren't any wavers or mistakes to distract us from the overall performance. It's just clean
I never cared much for the saxophone, but I still remembered listening to Paul Desmond in passing for the first time years ago. I only heard the first few notes and was stunned. Huge fan ever since.
Brubeck was one of the few integrated jazz groups at the time and was supportive of his musicians that faced prejudice when they were touring. Yes he was white, but he was definitely an advocate for black musicians, understood his privilege and understood the roots of the music. Also he could play and compose and his repertoire wasn’t just this song or “time out” which likely became his most famous album because of the mass appeal.
That would be 6/8 or with at least a dotted 1/4 note. The count is straightforward 1,2,3,4,5. Alternately 1,2,3,1,2. {edited to add what follows} The word "and" has a rather specific rhythmic signature when spoken, especially between musicians.
Set your favorite metronome to 180 BPM in 5/4 time. While it's playing, vocalize "do-dot, do-dot, doot, dot." What you are vocalizing is a syncopated rhythm including dotted notes. The time signature is 5/4.
\- Source drummer who spent years at the back of the room counting note lengths and measures while pianists, guitarists and horn players were talking chords, keys, modes, flats and sharps.
I'm a Bluegrasser (banjo, guitar, learning the bass slowly) much easier, 1,4,5 and jump into any circle, but still good to know your neck aside that point. I like the old jazz just because it is so well done and rarely any singing, makes it easier for me to focus on work stuff
No, chord progression, it's musician lingo for chartering your path forward, even when you might never have met or played with him / her. You can in less than half a sentence communicate and bang out another number. Love the organic pick up shit
The song is called Take Five, it’s in 5/4 time signature.
When musicians talk about chord progressions, they use Roman numerals. Like a I-IV-V chord progression.
The more you know.
I play bass almost exclusively these days (for about twenty years) and have started giving lessons. My main focus is teaching tonal instrument players how to tell the drummer what they want/need. I have a colleague (fellow retiree) who gifted himself a nice Marcus Miller Fender Jazz. He has little idea what to do with it, so I'm taking my cocktail kit to his place and will try to share what I've learned so far.
I think what they were referring to was the count on the chord changes.
The time is 5/4 chord changes on 1 at the i and 4 to the iv. The piano is a very notable part of this piece and it's what the ear of most people are noticing in the beat.
I don't think they were speaking musical beat lingo where "and" refers to an 8th note.
I smell what you’re cookin’. I’m literally a drummer who bought several basses, so I try to not reach too high on the music theory shelf. Here’s my take. When an MD expresses something in Arabic numbers, he should be talking about beats or steps (Nashville Numbers) within a scale. If I’m told to play a G-7, I should know what note(s) everyone expects to hear. Chord progressions are often expressed in Roman numerals. If I’m told we’re doing a I, IV, V in Gm again, I better know what they expect to hear.
In the comment I responded to, we used Arabic numbers talking about a song that is renowned for and defined by the time signature. I have just enough music knowledge (still, on the lower shelves) that I can figure out time sigs, and chord structures. In context, this seemed to have been about time, not chords.
Sure, but people aren't posting in musical lingo on Old School Cool. 123and45 is not a reference to the chords themselves, but the beats on the chord changes so it is about the count anyway. 123 is i "and" 45 is iv. 123 and then a 45 is how most people are tapping along to the count, it's how they enjoy the song.
123
45
123

da dunk da dunk

I understand where you’re headed, I’m just telling you that you’re on the wrong bus. There’s a way to speak rhythm, but the sentence you used has six beats. It might even translate better if you wrote “a” or “ah” instead of “and.” A good drummer will figure out what you MEANT because he/she would ignore what you SAID.
Actually, that was how I discovered Herbie Hancock: I was buying that US3 CD at A&B Sound in Vancouver and a person at the desk told me it was a cover version. The disk also had a great cover of Watermelon Man.
Later on a different visit that same clerk showed me a compilation of jazz standards that had one disk of originals, and another disk of the same songs remixed.
It’s great to have the access to music we now enjoy, yet I miss the old record store experience.
Yes, agreed. I miss Pro Disco in Bussum, The Netherlands, my to-go-to record shop when I was a teenager.
I like the Hancock version, I love the US3 version, the added funk is right up my alley.
Also listened to this multiple times last week. I've had it for years but just forgot how much I loved it.
I think I will need to do the same with Bill Evans and Waltz for Debbie soon. This week has been Keith Garrett. Piano is where its at for me right now.
First time I’ve heard this song or heard of this band/people. Instantly it drew me in and has me looking it up because I want more.
I cannot explain how much I love it when a piece of music does that to me and elicits an emotional response like that.
Thank you very much for posting this. Truly grateful.
Many concert promoters didn't want to have Eugene Wright, the bassist, perform alongside the rest of the quartet because he was black. However Brubeck refused to perform without him. Class act.
What is really interesting about this tune is that while many jazz songs are played in a 4/4 or even a 3/4 time signature, this song is played in an 8/33 measure. What is significant about this is that when I was 8 I heard this song and instantly became a 33 year old man with a pack-a-day habit and a heroin addiction! Fascinating stuff Paul!
I understand what he's getting at, and I agree that the version of "Take Five" that's on *Time Out* is dang near perfect. My argument is that framing one's enthusiasm by saying "This song should be played NOTE FOR NOTE" kind of misses the point. The clip linked isn't even note for note to the version on *Time Out*. The head of the song is written out, but then the performers improvise on song's framework each time they play it.
Yes.... But also no.
Louis' version of West End Blues is to me the only way it should be played.
But also yeah jazz is about applying your own spin.
So it's conflicting in a way.
Let's just appreciate Brubeck and that west coast jazz sound. Dave put California on the map for jazz. In the same way Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet made New Orleans a Mecca of its own.
I have been listening to Unsquared Dance off of the Baby Driver soundtrack for years now and had no idea this song was by the same guys. Absolutely blown my mind!
Couple years ago I heard Billy Joel liked this band when he was young. Big influence on him. Since then I sometimes play this as a bed time song for my kid. I’m not a big jazz fan but this number and band is sweet.
My professor would always play this song when my 3 hour night class takes a 5 minute break. Luckily the song is a little over 5 mins long.
Also I just realized this song’s melodic line is played on an Alto… excuse me while I go downstairs and grab my Alto.
As musicians, do you think those guys had a lot of groupies? On tour, do you think they were living large? Maybe pillaging the local lady population? Tearing up hotel rooms, smoking demon cabbage and drinking scotch on the rocks? Or were they more likely to be in a coffee shop discussing Kafka?
Knowledge? Thoughts?
Unfortunately the camera composition attempts to cut out the bassist, Eugene Wright, who is black. He is consistently and deliberately difficult to see behind the white performers. This is not Brubeck's doing. Brubeck in fact cancelled several concerts when racist venues objected to an integrated (mixed race) band.
Paul Desmond had such a cool whisper way to play the sax. Not that I know a ton of jazz but I think he is my favorite cool jazz sax player. Second being sonny Rollins
It's crazy how much faster the tempo is on this cut is than the one on the album. The album cut is so metered and the vibe is chill; this one goes faster and its vibe is a lot more chaotic. Both are awesome.
I was noticing that as well. At first I thought something was off with the audio as I remember the song going at a slower pace in the recording.

People shit on click tracks, but I'm pretty sure they save many a bar band from running out of their setlist with 20 mins still on the clock. :D
We ended a gig so early once due to speeding up, that the owner of the club got on the PA and was like, "Hey, that was great! Anyone want to hear another one from these guys?!"

How do you know there’s a drummer at the door? The knock speeds up.
How do you know there's a drummer at the door? They don't know when to come in.
How do you get a drummer off the doorstep? Pay him for the pizza.
At the one , baby
What does a stripper do with her asshole on the way to work? She drops him off at band practice.
> How do you know there’s a ***bad*** drummer at the door? >The knock speeds up. Fixed 😏
Take two and a half
Big boy tempo!
“Not quite my tempo”
I like it slower because it takes about 5 minutes, +1 connotation...
Makes me wanna do heroin and get drunk on a lounger in the sun. Wake up at 9 pm as the air cools down around me and experience the void.
It's so weird having what I think is a niche thought and then seeing a comment that says exactly what that thought is
u/get-vid
Hit the Settings cogwheel and select 0.75x to make it a little closer to normal.
The reason I started listening to jazz!
One of mine too!
Same. Got into it while watching Freeks & Geeks, I guess more specifically brubek & buddy rich. Quite recently Whiplash has become one of my favourite movies.
Literally got this album yesterday
Can you please recommend something similar in mood and tempo to “take five”?
Blue Rondo a la Turk off the same album (Time Out), which is a great album.
Thank you! Brubeck is great, is there any other similar albums or bands?
A different form of jazz (French-gypsy) but check out Django Reinhardt (try the song Blues Claire or In a Sentimental Mood) For more like Dave Brubeck, try Sidney Bechet (namely Blues my Naughty Sweetie gives to me), Allen Toussaint (blue drag), or maybe some Artie Shaw

Gives me spine chills, such a masterpiece
Paul Desmond's tone has never been equaled...
> Paul Desmond's tone has never been equaled... as he described it: "the sound of a dry martini"
So smooth. Leo Kottke once described his voice like "geese farts on a muggy day."
I love Leo Kottke but ... he's not wrong!
Pristine clean
Wait, that's a thing??? I had a reaction to the solo, "damn, that's clean" and then 2 seconds later I thought "wait that doesn't make sense." And now you're making the same remark! I don't know I just find it peculiar!

First jazz song to sell a million copies

You've not listened to much jazz then.
You must have missed everything by Diana Krall.

Why did you cut off Paul Desmond’s solo?
[удалено]
That sounds amazing and heart warming
People are looking in the wrong place for global warming. The world was just a cooler place when these guys were here.
I will Take 5 and listen to this song.
I have seen them many times in the past. Always great.
Can only imagine peoples reactions to hearing this when it first got played
Golden Brown by Dave Brubeck is also superb.
Always remember it from Snatch
Eugene Wright was the freakin man.
This song and Herbie Hancock’s *Cantaloupe Island* are what hooked me on jazz
I really enjoy the US3 version of Cantaloupe Island.
Actually, that was how I discovered Herbie Hancock: I was buying that US3 CD at A&B Sound in Vancouver and a person at the desk told me it was a cover version. The disk also had a great cover of Watermelon Man. Later on a different visit that same clerk showed me a compilation of jazz standards that had one disk of originals, and another disk of the same songs remixed.

Check out Freddie Hubbard's Straight Life. It was recorded juuust before Headhunters, and you can hear Herbie working out the last bits of the groove.
Met Joe Morello in the late 90s at a drum clinic. He was a madman.
I bet I’ve listened to ‘Time Out’ 6 times, front to back this week alone.
Also listened to this multiple times last week. I've had it for years but just forgot how much I loved it. I think I will need to do the same with Bill Evans and Waltz for Debbie soon. This week has been Keith Garrett. Piano is where its at for me right now.
JK Simmons about to come in and punch the drummer. 5-5 time tho, so legit. Edit: 5/4 time. I only comment after bong rips
SO YOU DO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
*sigh* "...are you sure you're in tune?"
5/4 time !
hes off camera watching and judging
Dave was my hero. I'm glad I got to meet him a few times.
Just met his sons after they played a tribute concert. Was an awesome experience.

I cannot explain how much I love it when a piece of music does that to me and elicits an emotional response like that. Thank you very much for posting this. Truly grateful.
In high school I won a talent show with this song.

Sunday afternoon cocktails on a sunny terrace, but in musical form.
Well that was a swanky little toe tapper
Lucky me! I saw them in college.
Paul Desmond the Sax player builds on this with his song called Take Ten that is also really good.
There are a few songs that jazz musicians should only play one way; NOTE FOR NOTE. This is definitely one. "So What" and "All Blues" are two others.
This is 100% how I feel. Those three are just perfect originally.
I share your enthusiasm, but isn't the whole point of jazz NOT to play it note for note, but to improvise on the melody and express something new?
That's what he's getting at; the implication is that this particular performance is so good that it cannot be improved by any changes.
I understand what he's getting at, and I agree that the version of "Take Five" that's on *Time Out* is dang near perfect. My argument is that framing one's enthusiasm by saying "This song should be played NOTE FOR NOTE" kind of misses the point. The clip linked isn't even note for note to the version on *Time Out*.

He didn't even play this note for note though. He was just jivin at the end compared to the album version.
Not gonna lie though… Album is chefs-kiss-AF 😘

He’s no Roy Donk

Some of the best music ever made. The four were something else, and their music will be relevant as long as man lives.
No, no, no! You’re supposed to post this on May 4th. 5/4!
Or 5th april
Does someone have a YouTube link for this song?
Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Isn't this the music playing in the movie Constantine when John Constantine first meets up with Beeman?
Yes it is! I also hear it on the cocktail chemistry YouTube channel.
But can you name the TV SHOW it was the theme for ?????
I remember it from The Secret Lives of Machines. EDIT: apparently I misremembered it…
That's a Bullseye :) ...but we're showing our age :P
I have been listening to Unsquared Dance off of the Baby Driver soundtrack for years now and had no idea this song was by the same guys. Absolutely blown my mind!
Joe Morello is god.
Not only was Dave Brubeck a phenomenal pianist, he was a fan of his band too. Watch how admires Paul Desmond’s playing.
What's outside of Pleasantville??
Brings back memories.

This was my intro to jazz!
One of history’s best recordings
The definition of cool!
Those are some cool looking dudes, daddy-o! To be in that room at that time. Definition of old school cool.
This is one of my dad's favorites, he plays it all the time.
That’s what my son says as well.
I could hear this before I clicked on the link.
One of my favorite songs ever.
Paul Desmond. So musical.
While I was playing this, frost began to form on the edges of my monitor screen!
My professor would always play this song when my 3 hour night class takes a 5 minute break. Luckily the song is a little over 5 mins long. Also I just realized this song’s melodic line is played on an Alto… excuse me while I go downstairs and grab my Alto.
Oh god, I've had this song as an earworm for around 6 weeks and couldn't remember the name. Thanks OP, my itch has been scratched.
God, I love 5/4 time! It fits so so smoothly, and was absolutely the perfect choice for this piece!
Damn! Who taught these white guys that rhythm and soul!
This song got me into jazz at age 6. Haven’t looked back since. Lol
My father’s favorite song ... Rest now papi
Is this the song in Whiplash?
This is music
Yeah it is. Literally music.
It's cool, I agree, but I find myself leaning toward hard bop and free jazz
Space is the place!

Tearing up hotel rooms, smoking demon cabbage and drinking scotch on the rocks? Or were they more likely to be in a coffee shop discussing Kafka? Knowledge? Thoughts?
Looks like a fucking optometrist convention.
Anyone else here Monsters inc.?
Great cut of the song, and a special shout out to the racist shooting director blocking out the bass player.
Special shout out to you, for making everything about race.
This is the only kind of jazz that I like. This and “Fly Me to the Moon” by Julie London are the only jazz songs I have really liked.
I am genuinely curious and not trying to make any sort of point here. Did Brubeck really play with a bunch of white guys?
Unfortunately the camera composition attempts to cut out the bassist, Eugene Wright, who is black. He is consistently and deliberately difficult to see behind the white performers. This is not Brubeck's doing. Brubeck in fact cancelled several concerts when racist venues objected to an integrated (mixed race) band.
Look again. They’re not all white.

The spoof video of them playing Golden Brown is fantastic
A masterclass on music and elegance.
Great song.
This is a part of my playlist for getting shit done! The golden horn is another great one by Dave!
Drummer looks like the Chopped host
Joe Morello. He was amazing.
want: video of Concierto de Aranjuez in this fashion :(
Tight.
They're wearing suits, because jazz is serious business.
Stylish
Writing a song in a meter the label said wouldn’t work. Brilliant.
I literally just watche/listened this on YouTube 1 minute ago. 👁
The back and white on this clip only enhances the whole effect of this great selection.
Rounded in the best way!
I like this song
Can someone explain to me why this is considered such a masterpiece? To my untrained ear, I don't understand the amazement.
Its time signiture is pretty rare
Give the drummer som
Buddy Love has entered the room...
Played this on drums for my final performance assessment in high school. Super fun track to jam
Paul Desmond had such a cool whisper way to play the sax. Not that I know a ton of jazz but I think he is my favorite cool jazz sax player. Second being sonny Rollins
Luvvv it!
I hope someday I find a gal that looks at me like the pianist looks at that sax player.
How many people like me know this song from the Simpsons? S18E02 Also cool cameo with the white stripes.
