Take Five

29th October 2009

So here’s how the story goes. Legendary jazz pianist Dave Brubeck’s long-time music partner and alto-saxophonist Paul Desmond came to Brubeck one day with a piece he’d written in 5/4 signature. That song, my friends, is the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s most famous song of all time: “Take Five”. Even if you don’t know what I’m talking about this second, take one listen and you’ll know exactly what I mean.

I figured it might be a nice treat to include a remake of “Take Five” by the Kashmere Stage Band. All I can say is “FUNKAAY!” Enjoy.

one of the most absolutely perfect tunes ever written. takes me back to sitting under a domed ceiling in my friends 5th floor Venice beachfront penthouse apartment on a sunny sunday morning in 1966 where i first heard it.
