=====
"Take Five" is a jazz standard composed by Paul Desmond and originally recorded by the Dave Brubeck Quartet at Columbia Records' 30th Street Studio in New York City on July 1, 1959 for their album Time Out. Two years later it became a hit and the biggest-selling jazz single ever. Revived since in numerous movie and television soundtracks, the piece still receives significant radio airplay.

=====
Perfect Fourth is a traditional musical term representing a unique relation between two pitches. While the use of it has been prevalent even in the European middle ages, the stacking of fourths is also often used nowadays to create chords and progressions with a sense of modernity.

The Perfect Fourth Harmonica Quartet aims at creating a modern and fashionable performance style on the basis of their invaluable traditional influence.

Perfect Fourth - 完全四度，是傳統音樂術語，用於描述兩個音高之間的獨特關係。這個詞的起源可以追溯到中世紀的歐洲；而當今的音樂家亦會用 Perfect Fourth 來塑造不同的樂句，尤其很多現代音樂中利用全四度的疊加創造出具有現代感的和弦和進程。

Perfect Fourth 口琴四重奏旨在於傳統的基礎上創造一種現代時尚的表演風格。

The guy in the bottom right looks like he tore off a hospital lamp and started using it to play a dope cover.

Brilliant! :)

When you’re talented musicians it doesn’t matter what instrument you use!

[LordBikealot]

I've played harmonica for 35+ years, I've never seen harmonicas like these. Excellent! 👍

[A_Pa-Plainjane]

As a fan of Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond and DB group, this is great.

[acbenepe]

I didn't know some of those harmonicas existed. Beautiful work young brothers. Love from Brooklyn USA.

'Take Five' isn't something I ever expected to hear performed on harmonicas. Great job, gentlemen.
Please take these five glowing stars for your performance: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

People who don't listen past the 25 seconds mark are losing out the best part really just starts at around 0:55 I've never heard harmonica played so well before !

[michaelfeagan]

Wonder rendition! Another example of how music transcends everything.

[craigcorson]

《Take Five》是我最喜歡的歌曲之一。 這次的演繹為它增添了一個新的維度。 做得好。

[Raxerm]

I love the harmonica bassist in the chorus jumping from the top to the bottom in a split second.

I have been wondering what a four piece harmonica song would sound like. Thanks for sharing, it was awesome.

[peterkinberger]

Superbly excellent. There are not many harmonica groups. I could listen to you guys all day ! Thanks for the hard work and allowing me the priviledge of listening ! A friend always !

[britandlauriebarr]

Mr. Brubeck and Mr. Desmond approve. I just know it. So imaginative and unexpected. Well done!

[derekdowns]

A 4-piece harmonica band almost seems ridiculous ...until you hear THESE guys! Well done! Bravo!

[johnandrews]

Brubeck fan for 50 years... this is great.

[philadelphe]

One time delicious listening,
Two amazed ears,
Three « bravo »,
Four brilliant players,
And an amazing... take Five !😋🤩👌

[jimfritz]

Very good. Way back when there was a quartet called Jerry Murad's Hamonicats. They did similar treatments of tunes like this. 👍

[briankeenan]

That was Fantastic. Most people don't take the harmonica seriously. It was so nice to see those different models in use. Thank you.

[jeffking]

This is an excellent cover. It almost sounds Eastern European.
A fantastic song, remade very well.
📻🙂👍

Потрясающе, господа! Моему восхищению нет предела.
