Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five 

If you die without listening to Take Five, your life has been in vain !!!

The sax player gets a huge smile on his face when he hears those familiar notes after Dave’s intro…….then he quickly realizes he’s gotta do that whole Paul Desmond thing. Atonal and all. Bravo.

I heard this song in my teens, I'm now 52 years old and it still gives me goosebumps !!!!

At 65 music of this era makes me think of my father and I just want to cry miss you dad

Boy do I miss Dave Brubeck. This music takes me way back to the 70s when we had excellent real music.

Was Dave crying in the middle of his solo??! Everyone are talking about the sound, sax and drummer... but please listen the piano solo. It's so emotional!

My all time favourite song! Was 14 years when I first heard this brilliant number from the album "We are all together for the first time". Now I am 74 and still Jazz music of yesteryears still lives inside of me!!

This is incredible, 87 years and plays like this.

These men are not only great musicians, they seem to have a love for each other. They look at each other and smile to acknowledge their fellow musicians talent but to signify their talent. Dave is always smiling at then. Those were the good old times when musicians played without competing with each other. We will never see those days again.

Dave Brubeck...the man, the legend, the icon..period. 🔥

Paul Desmond the best forever

72 now. First heard this as bumper music on a local DJ’s show as a teen. It has been in the background music of my life since then, with occasional volume jumps to the foreground. It is my most favorite tune ever. ❤

love this he has a good sense of humor the intro is genius. RIP Dave and his bandmates

Absolutely beautiful! Mr. Brubeck was a Gift from God!

I am here for all of them but especially for the drums. God bless all of their souls.

Paul Desmond!

That intro was so beautiful.

U hear the music in those fuckin’ drums? That’s how your grandparents rolled...that honestly brought tears to my eyes at the end.

What an intro! Brilliant... and it must be scary as hell to stand in for Morello. Especially that song. Jones did ok...! Fine solo. Unique, but a clear homage... gotta be proud of that one.

RIP man. You were the greatest.

After a lifetime of Dave Brubeck and his band making this piece better and better I don't think the word 'masterspiece' is big enough to praise their outstanding work of art. Thank you so much for sharing!

I will never get over the drums part. The way he moves his mouth as if he's mimicking the sounds. Love it

For those complaining about the sound on this i.e. lack of sax just search for the full clip from 2004 on YT instead i.e. "Take five in a quartet" and go to 44.40

I Never ever get too tired of this number by the old pros . Just wish I could have taken the time to see them perform live.👌👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸😎

Masters of their craft. Innovators. This tune won’t go away. New and younger enthusiasts are hearing this for the first time. Timeless. Classic.

If only I can hear him play the piano once more.

Brilliant intro from Dave. 😊 wonderful song!

I bet the sound crew was mixing for the live performance. So it probably sounds really good for the people in the room but they didn't record the audio in this video with the mics on stage.

Dave Brubeck. That’s what I’m talking bout. From my childhood.

What a great and classy drum solo.Randy jones ends it up like a hurricane.

Its absolute art , the sounds that stood the test of time. I was 7yrs when I started to hear thìs DB.

Dave Brubeck the man of jazz. Yessss

I've seen live performances by Brubeck and company, and to this day, they remain the only musical appearances I've attended which young children enjoyed the performance, and did not get 'fidgety'.....

Too bad that the sound engineering and mixing were so poor.

Grandes hombres, música bajada del cielo a la tierra, gracias mil...

I‘m „just“ 38 years of age but I fell in love with this song the very first time I listened to it. It got stuck although at the time I had no idea who wrote or played it. Don‘t know how old I was (maybe 16) but if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life (doesn‘t matter if constantly or only when I want) I would definitely choose Take Five! It gets me every time! If I‘m down it lifts me up. If I‘m up it takes me even higher. I don‘t know what exactly it is but for me it‘s just the perfect piece of art. Though I prefer the original recording over this one tbh.

Amazing musicians, and the drummer solo is the best.

Definitivamente la música es el idioma universal. Trasciende fronteras sin importar raza o religión.

Music that lives forever... wonderful!

Hands down the best live performance I've seen. Thanks for uploading!

Man this is Beautiful!!!!!

Too bad they forgot to open the Sax Mic... :(

Just amazing to me is how Dave can make beautiful melodies, yet put some of *the* thickest chords under them! He just had a taste for doing stuff at the right time. Just fun to see this kind of impromptu concert! Thanks for all of the great memories, Dave and Co.! (This may be the first all-white band I've ever seen him have. Also, thank you, Dave, for insisting on having a person of color in your most influential years. You helped to break that wretched color line.)

I was at a company meeting few years ago and I think it was a in house quartet and by the time the dinner was done, I stayed back - the only person from the 200+ group - to listen to some good music. The quartet looks like they didn't had to go anywhere else that night and they playes about five more songs. I even asked if they can take a request and the only song I could think of was "Take Five." It was awesome. I still have the recording.

I like jazz with all my heart

💙💙💙 my most beloved music performance

I Love {Take Five}... From The Moment I First Heard It In 1977.. I Interpret The Piece As.. Take Time To Relax Your Mind... I Was In Choir.. In 10th Grade... Meaning Don't Get Mad At Things.. Just Relax, And Take Five To Think About It... 😎😎😎 Yep...

Bestial, olé, olé, olé, el solo de batería. Me fascina este "Take Five" de Paul Desmond, con Dave Brubeck interpretándolo. It's a great composition and a wonderful performance. Vamos a olvidarnos si el micro estaba cerrado y bla, bla, bla. What I would give to have been there. BCN, 3.02.2021

Good stuff, I love the drum solo.

Bob Millitello is one of the best sax players I saw him with Maynard Ferguson and he was awesome , He also plays the flute .

Por los años 60 creo fue al palacio de bellas artes y al finalizar el bajista no toco la nota final y el maestro solto una sonora carcajeada fue un final grandioso. en mexico.

Cant believe the math genius he was... incredibly awesome!!

That's what i call true music made by gentelmen I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Awesome, Thanks for sharing

Maravilloso trema del Gran Dave!!

you guys are the best take 5 Steinway screaming

¡¡¡Increible, fantastico!

super le vrai jazz par un orchestre inoubliable merci

Yassss mr Dave Brubeck.

he used to play with Paul Desmond, long time ago, and idk if this was his last performance. But, i ask myself how he would feel , playing a song that he used to play with all his original bandmates, that passed away long time ago to 🍁

Luuuuuuuujuvvvvv it. Way to demonstrate the human vibe. After this, I need to take five. Be right back.

Whether IS yo me thinking quietly , you can not never the world to conquer . Let me watch the beautiful jazz of whether dave brubeck. That's because of the world .

Perfect!

Une musique qui a éveiller mon septième sens a l'age de 8 ou 9 ans ,qui joue dans ma tete depuis 40 ans au moins,jamais j'oublierai ce chef d'oeuvre ,Bravo a Dave et Paul et a les autres

The cool thing about Jazz is its all pretty much come up with on the go and it still sounds good.

2:02 gave me goosebumps

PERFECT!
