[WolandMythJr]

Take five - one of the songs what makes me smile everytime. Warm melody of happiness.

[mr.b.]

Dave was a WW2 vet and was horrified by his experiences.... It shaped him as a person and a musician for the rest of his life. In an interview I once heard the topic come up and his response was heartwarming, chilling and heartbreaking as you literally hear him breakdown in sorrow.
He Dedicated his life to peace and music as a means to that peace. God bless him.

This video, and this channel, are a perfect example of what YouTube content can be at its highest level of quality and craft... well done!

As a heavy metal obsessive I think that Time Out is one of the greatest albums of all time!

[blachubear]

1959 was the year when two classic jazz albums shook the world Brubeck's "Time Out" & Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue".
The band thought "Take Five" was a thrown away? WOW!!!

[RadekPogoda]

Take Five is my wife's ringtone for the last 10 years. It's never boring and hundreds of people reacted very positively to it. A truly great song.

9/8 in Turkey is not counted as 9 beats.
It is 4 beats, but the last one is 1.5 longer than others.
2/2/2/3
Such a rhythms with uneven pulse, called in Turkey "aqsaq"- "broken", or "Limp"

[mykhedelic]

Who doesn't love Take Five, but Blue Rondo was everything to me when I heard it.

[huntrrams]

Please do a video on Bossa Nova (big stars Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto)!

Why is it so unique and how did a Brazilian music trend became a Jazz staple and influence for other artists in the future?

[forformgamer]

My man, your visual representation of Morello's solo on Take Five is one of the greatest things you've made!

[scarymonsters]

Hearing the timing, melody, and vamp of Take Five gives me goosebumps. Legendary.

[tommonk]

Take Five is just superb! Morello was an incredible drummer. There is a YouTube video of Morello's solo live. Wow! Paul Desmond was a great saxophonist. A fantastic quartet.... Genius stuff!

We’ve got a popular cafe in our city named Brubeck in honour of Dave Brubeck.
Thanks to this video I know a lot more about him now.

My passion is classical, but I love this album. Brubeck made jazz with novel time signatures so approachable, and fun. The album always lifts my spirits.

[yasirozer]

As a Turk, "much of the Turkish music is 9/8" is an overstatement. Its mostly used in mid and up tempo songs due to its danceable/playful nature. Also; since Turkey is an ethnic blend of diverse cultures there are plenty of different musical traditions, 9/8 signiture is mostly attributed to Gypsies and their dance tunes. Which is called "Oyun Havası".

[LaunchPadAstronomy]

Perhaps the most addictive jazz tune ever. Excellent video once again, sir.

[RaggaDruida]

Miles Davis & Dave Brubeck done!
Next options: Jaco Pastorius, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Bill Evans, Charles Mingus...

[jeffthewhiff]

I always think of my late father when hearing Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" and I even used the song at his funeral and it was so appropriate.

[maryblaylock]

Years ago there was a commercial on TV that had a segment of jazz in it. My son kept calling me out to the livingroom because he was smitten with it. When I finally heard it he asked if his grandad would know it. I was able to tell him that it was 'Take Five' by Dave Brubeck. Now in his forty's he has an extensive jazz collection. All thanks to that one song!

[ethereal.lamppost]

This album got me into jazz. What a beautiful collection of music
