Gotta love Brubeck. Take Five is one of the two pieces that turned me on to jazz.
And now, for a little more left-coast jazz..............
Stan Getz and Chet Baker

Peace!
I saw them perform this live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in, I think it was '65.
I was about 16 and it was amazing. Paul Desmond looked like he's slept in his suit and would wander off the stage when he wasn't playing but they sounded fantastic. Take 5 is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time.
Might as well throw in some John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy - "Impressions"
I especially like the way this bit was shot.............enjoy!

West Coast Jazz ?
Hit me with some Harold Land, Carl Perkins, Dupree Bolton, Jack Sheldon, Art Pepper, Vic Feldman, or Chico Hamilton w/ Buddy Collette.
Great post, John!
I love Brubeck, but I always giggle when I listen:
An old roommate of mine has a mom who is really hot. And I mean right now, at about 70 years old she is really hot.
Well, old roomie gets an ego boost(or somethin') by braggin' about how his mom banged Paul Desmond back when.
Yeah, I'm an idiot fer sharin' that, but....whatever. I'm gigglin.

There were supposed to have been fundraisers which took place in the 1980s to raise cash for Joe Morello who at that time had become almost totally blind. As Michael Moore points out in his film, if this country, allegedly the richest country on earth, had universal health care, there would be no need to hold a fundraiser for people such as Joe Morello.

Thanks, John.
As a small child in Manhattan in the '50s, I'd sit on my dad's lap late at night and listen to live jazz on the radio. Brubeck and Kenton were his favorites. I always loved the liquid sound of Paul Desmond.
I was in my early twenties when Paul Desmond died from cigarettes, and I cried all day. Damn cancer sticks. Remember all those photos of jazzmen playing in night clubs, with their cigarettes tucked between the valves to keep 'em handy? The day Desmond died was the day I began to really resent cigarettes. So many more reasons, since then . . .
One fer...uhm...just listen. And I mean just listen

Nice.
Dave Brubeck once ripped me a new asshole.
I was on the stage crew that set up the lighting for a performance done by Marcel Marceau, set the the Dave Brubeck quartet.
One of the cells from an overhead light came off and fell to the stage, barely missing the drummer.
I was the closest person on hand and ended up being the recipient of his wrath.
Upset? I bragged about it to friends for a week. Dave Brubeck spoke to me after all.
And for the record: Marcel Marceau = not a cool guy. Very gay and very under the impression that his status could buy him a stage hand from N. Minnesota.
Had I dropped my wallet that night, I would have kicked it home.
PEACE
John:
Thank you for this.
My favority jazz tune. Thanks!
Ah, yes, "Take Five" - along with "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and Duke Ellington's "Jeep's Blues," this song made me realize jazz could be just as interesting as Led Zeppelin. Thanks for the post.
this was the best brubeck group ever, and joe morello!! what can we say? wow!!!...
I have the original vinyl.
Way ahead of the times...
Mr. Amato,
In this same vein of "cool jazz" would you please feature Sergio Mendez and Brazil '66 someday?
That album was hot in the day and was one of the earliest re-releases on CD when the AAD tech just came along...
Thanks..
[...] C&L’s Late Nite Music Club with Dave Brubeck from Crooks and Liars by John Amato [...]
YES.Take Five....what a classic....ecellent
My father introduced me to Dave Brubeck about 1970 and the song was "Take Five." It was one night when I was about 11 or 12 years old he pulled out all of the jazz albums. We listened all night to people like Miles, MJQ and Dizzy.
This was my beginning in jazz.
Great music.
Paul
