Joe Morello might look like a baby-faced accountant, but his drum solo on "Take Five" is the coolest, yet most elegant drum solo in the history of jazz 🎶. I also like the way Brubeck turns and and actually watches Morello play.

I’m a 71 year old black woman in Georgia and found it’s way to my house. Amazing timing.

The look of Brubeck to Paul Desmond says everything!!!

Timelessly elegant, emotional, intense, hypnotic, excellent, instructive, inspirational, reflective, joyful, smooth and so cool.

All the musicians in the song are absolute geniuses

I started out as a self-taught rock drummer in a garage band in the mid-60's. Then I heard this song. My life was changed forever. I found an excellent jazz drummer with a style very similar to Joe Morello's which was light, flowing and very powerful. I am still practicing. I could listen to this forever while I can only take 5 minutes of Buddy Rich. Joe's playing is perfection. In all of his videos, he is a true gentleman who is always modest. Rest in peace, Joe. You still live in my heart.

I'm a retired architect. About time at 75! In drafting class in junior high, the teacher played music. Evidently that was the tradition. Anyway that tune was played every day. I loved it. To this day the drum solo is the greatest I've ever heard. It's a hoot to watch these "hep cats" play!

One of the greatest jazz pieces ever produced!!!!!

Dave Brubeck's playing here is so understated that the first time I ever saw a video of "Take Five," I thought that Paul Desmond was Brubeck. Now that's class.

Music that never grows old.

A whole office of accountants playing a timeless classic.

Listening to Joe Morello play so comfortably and fluidly in 5/4, and then hearing his call and response from the snare to the tom...it's just amazing, and I can't help but think the great jazz/rock drummer Ginger Baker learned significantly from hearing him. I wish I could have met Joe. I did have the honor of meeting Dave Brubeck, and telling him how much he influenced my own piano playing, with his rhythmic left/right hand syncopation.

Morello is the bomb on the drums. My dad was a drummer in a jazz band in the 1930s and later met Morello when Brubeck was playing in Concord, California in the early 1960s.

Yes... The way Dave Brubeck likes to watch His other compatriots... some of the time, whilst He is STILL playing !!! 👍🏻😀

Dave BrubeckQuartet totally phenomenal Could listen to this all day Morello is amazing RIP Will love Take 5 forever❤😊

One of the very best of any genre in music,PERIOD.

One word that comes to mind is Elegant

An art form in itself. Dave B's music takes us to another place. These are gems to cherish for all time.

My own favorite piece of jazz. RIP all four of these phenomenal gentlemen.

You hear this piece and wonder how many time Mr Brubeck & Co. played this and had small variations - like perfect waves crashing on the beach.

A jazz absolute masterpiece. The drummer's solo is amazing, playing in a very difficult way the many drummers cannot handle ; I am not a musician, so I do not know why

This was done 60 years ago supporting my theory thar good music and art last forever.

What is amazing is their improvisations are always new and spontaneous. Heard it how many times? It’s genius.

Oh my..so smooth an immortal jazz classic. Joe Morello just plays it like it's a walk in the park. Staying in 'five' during the drum solo section is not easy.

Never gets old

That was beautiful!

Every time I watch this video I think of four high school science teachers getting together after a day of teaching and playing jazz like this.

I learned to play Take Five on the piano in high school. Tough, but once it clicked, I loved it. 😊

I heard Dave play at Scope in Norfolk & the first chair cello player from the Norfolk symphony played back & forth with the drummer during Take Five & I had a seat right in front of them, totally amazing.

Absolutely beautiful, and all in suits and ties. How things changed...

Absolutely perfect music to drink a cocktail to.

This is the best solo I ever heard

I'm a young 68 & I love this song & all the musician's

All the hours of my life I would listen this jazz with Brubeck, Desmond, Morello and Wright. The time is not sufficient

It might have been meant for a “take a 5 minute break” song but it became legendary

Mi mamá tenía 5 años cuando grabaron este vídeo. Yo tengo 35 años, amo esta canción. La amo tanto que cuando muera quiero lo pongan.

Everytime..Timeless Take Five👍... Till the end of time.

still love it in 2022

Love hearing Paul Desmond on that sax.

Jazz drum solos can be defined as controlled chaos leading to timed serenity.

Love this….grounds me….takes me back to a time when angst and fear didn’t exist…..thank you for posting 😮😅😊

Fine jazz - classic, sexy ! The variety of instruments are interesting , and make up the music , each individual ! I love it !

心に響く　　一度きいたら　忘れない　何度も聞きたくなる　マジックのように　何度でも

Absolutely fabulous music 🎶 🎵 👌 ❤

Now this is what you call music.

Morello wonderful master of metres! Such an intelligent drum solo! This really paved some new ways for drumming and drum solos

Heard this days ago and can't stop playing.

I could never tire of listening to this classic piece of music. The original version with the Dave Brubeck Quartet stands head and shoulders above all the other renditions. But while it sets the benchmark, this piece of music permeates the music world and so many other great outfits have benefited by having it in their play list. I think that adds to the value of the successful acceptance of this great masterpiece.

Está música es para personas cultas , finas , inteligente y d buen gusto con una alta sensibilidad vno es para todo el mundo

DB and the accountants still listening to this it is 2023 Fri 27 OCT timeless one of the greatest songs and brilliant musicians

Estoy viendo ésto en dvd. Mágico es poco decir. Los calificativos huelgan...la performance de todos los músicos que participan es maravillosa! Me emociona hasta las lágrimas!

Cuando Take Five entró por mis oídos me enamoré del jazz 😍🎶

I've lost count of how many albums I own by Brubeck....80 or so? 😊

"Softest,suttlest newonces of the human pyche"Duane Allman describing Davis' playing

love the understated discord on the piano pure dreamland !

Jazz is to me a musical treasure. Give me this chestnut over what I like to call disposable music with vile lyrics anytime.

Timeless. Like Mozart. Bettovin, etc. Always have ears for his music!

My absolute favorite.of all time.

Here is were you see the respect of the musicians to each other ❤🎉

The best performance of this work 👏👏👏

Sunday Afternoon, a bottle of Vodka, a litre of Tomato Juice, (+ Worcestershire Sauce, Tabasco, and Celery Salt), and Dave Brubeck. I'm closing in on Heaven.

Maravilhosa música! Mágico Dave Brubeck...

Simplesmente maravilhoso, que prazer ouvi-lo.

Paul Desmond is superb!

The pioneers of Jazz Music !

Bonjour à toutes et tous, la classe intemporels il nous manque énormément à tous, je l'adore, la où il est il doit composer quelques chefs d'oeuvres, qu'il repose en paix, bien cordialement Dan 🇨🇵👍🙏

Simplemente sublime, saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽

Excelente maestro !!!.

So great!

❤❤❤

Besides the version of "Take Five" included on the "Time Out" LP (original first pressing, with a jacket autographed by two of Dave's sons, which I've played hundreds of times), I have listened to this live version several dozen times. Every time I do, I could swear that, starting around 3:15, I can hear the faintest of humming coming from Dave. Has anyone else noticed this? MarkT

mesmerizing truly

Total Classic never fails to move me.

Que espetáculo magnífico 👏 Gratidão 💖🌍💖🕉🙌💃

Come here every few weeks to get a "Take Five " fix.. Some times i got to have it..

Still one of the best things I ever heard

Must find more Morello.

What if they had not recorded this for us? It's so beautiful. 😊

ESTO ES MUSICA!

After a hard day of work, standing in these heels for 8 hours, I like to come home to a smooth Pall-Mall, a tall 7&7, and listen to some Dave and the gang. You know, just to cool down. Happy New Year! Gee, kids, with President Kennedy getting assassinated last year, and now space travel AND the Beatles? Can it get any crazier?

I remember him at Ronnie Scott’s in the late 80s and 90s. Defined an era in jazy

I love you Joe Morello!!!

Timeless classic.... eternal 😊

初めて聴いたときの衝撃を今も鮮やかに覚えています❤

Thank You 🎉🎉🎉

Um comentário simples! Mas eu amo,instrumento de sopro. ❤❤❤

Absolutely love it.

ベストメンバー。　　特にジョーのファンです。歳とってメタボになったけどね。。

The original and the best.

This is the song that I'm sitting home and drinking a glass of wine and sitting on a easy chair

Impresionante ❤️

One of my faves.

❤❤❤❤ Ecxelencia musical
