Take 5

Take Five, Dave

“

Music is evocative, and Brubeck's Take Five sends me immediately back to the WOC Club at Fort Wolters. We played this song on the juke box almost endlessly. It's the only jazz I can think of that I ever liked RIP Mr. Brubeck.

I highly recommend any of the Bill Evans combos from the 50s and 60s.

I-RIGHT-I said...: The 50's and 60's were good for a lot of reasons and Dave was a part of it. Wonderful stuff.; 12/6/12, 6:19 PM

It has staying power.
So long Dave.; 12/6/12, 6:56 PM

Saw him live in Ann Arbor back in … '68 was it?
As a drummer, I was awed by Joe Morello who could play more with one hand than I could with both.
I didn't like sax back then, until Paul Desmond, and that got me into Stan Getz, for which I'll forever be grateful.
Eugene Wright's bass solos alone were worth the price of admission.
Yeah, you can OD on Brubeck, but if you lay it aside for a while, he comes back fresh every time.
Like, thanks, man.; 12/7/12, 8:45 AM
