Dave Brubeck: Take 5 performed in 1972 - HQ Stereo Sound 

Still loving this after over 50 years 💋💋💋

look at those faces, these guys arent just having the time of their lives, it’s more like time doesn’t even exist

Outstanding version of truly monumental piece...........................

Those drum sticks ‘bout to burst into flame.

As good as this will ever get. RIP and thanks for the memories.

Dawson's solo is just out of this world. The time he keeps is amazing throughout as he seamlessly brings the group back in.

CLASSIC & One of a kind. True musicians !

What a super version of Take Five, with a rare full solo of Dave and a super drum solo. tairs

Desmond's solo was smoother than silk, and oh so delightful to hear!

The absolute most classic jazz composition.....EVER!

Timeless insurmountable. Incredible 😊

very very good.............................................................................

Best performance by all

Marvelous..... to cheer up a depressing Sunday morning in midtown Manhattan...... thank you. Miss Jenny

Nice. Thanks. I was lucky to study with Alan.

Fantastic edition. Thanks for sharing joy.

People are imo kinda missing the point here. The real poetry is in Paul Desmonds play. Amazing!

Damn, that’s some absolutely amazing drumming by Alan Dawson 😲

Jazz, and simply music, at its very best!!

The fist time I heard this version of Take Five, I wasn't sure about having two saxophones. By the third time I listened to the performance, I was hooked!

Gold✨!! Thank you!! ❤️💖💕❤️

That was amazing. That drum solo was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!

The best version of take five ever heard!

Love how Dave takes a time out to enjoy a private concert by Alan Dawson. Dave always enjoyed making quality music and it showed on his face.

Great performances by all.

I was there, first time Brubeck played after taking time off to compose Cantada/....riot broke out involving those outside the park, 1 person died, the gang attacked the stage as Bruebeck played, Alan Dawson came on my radio program to discuss what it was like from his vantage point, and me from mine...we were both scared out of our minds...Thanks of posting and keeping the memory alive

Those were the days of great sax work not the squealing the present day sax men do

Don't forget that this awesome drumsolo is performed...50 years ago.. :)

Lately, I’ve been starting my day with Take Five. Great day from here!!

Wenn ich einen schlechten Tag hatte, diesen Song, und alles ist wieder gut. Danke Dave.

That bit, at about 12 minutes in, when the boss stops what he's doing to watch you, with a big smile on his face. Joe Morello will always be the master but this is awesome.

Wow! I've listed to 100's of versions of this, but this one is breath taking, the best yet. How come I haven't heard this until now?!?!

❤une musique de ma jeunesse donc je me lasse pas 😂😂😂

It's like everyone here are siblings, they know each other intimately

yes,,,what a masterpiece.... !

while in high school in the early 70's i went to a friends house after school. music was raging out of his basement. we went to check it out and there was this band practicing for the newport jazz festival in rhode island... my friend was alan dawson jr. exposure to this band up close and personal changed my appreciation for music for life.

Simply brilliant, music as music should be played by some of the very best.

Five Musical Geniuses Taken By Storm of well... TAKE FIVE!!! The Five are taken...by music! Fantastic how after the Wonderful Solos of Desmond and Mulligan Great Dave is on fire! And then it is up to Dave to set drummer and bassist on fire as well! Sixteen minutes of Jazz Beauty fo Musical Eternity! Loved it!

Who needs a big drum kit? Man that is the essence of syncopation right there

best version ever!

Alan Dawson master musician and drummer . His creative taste , technique and fluidity is a class of its own. Great great drummer. Do not compare drummers too much and who is best , Dawson is the very top and totally inspiring. Who is better Rembrandt, Picasso , Goya , Velasquez, Van Gogh, Manet ? Limit it ,respect , enjoy and assess them in their own right.Must have been fantastic experience studying with Alan Dawson, his book is also excellent.

What an peformance by the drummer.. so awesome! love it

love the sound, the movement, the air

Wow what a version first time i've heard this. Dave looks great grinning from ear to ear during the drum solo.

Alan Dawson doing what a drummer is supposed to do. Laying a solid foundation for the WHOLE BAND to build on, and then when is his turn, he lays out a masterful solo! And then.... back to the foundational groove! THAT'S THE WAY ITS DONE BOYS AND GIRLS!

Masterpiece, no other words.

Wow....fantastic drumming, and these acrylic drums sound amazing!

That drummer is smooooooooooooooth...!

Take Five...such fun to listen to 5/4 beat. Paul Desmond's tone is fantastic...love this tune!

La migliore versione di take 5 in assoluto, grandi

Voilà un solo de batterie et te voilà hors du temps, oui nous sommes bien dans les années 70's , les pattes d'Eff et les percutions, " il y avait de l'eau dans le gaz, le Jazz et la Java"..Salut à vous tous.

A forever classic.

Fabulous version of take 5. Note that the chorus of Paul is in C Major (for alto sax) and the harmony is in C minor.

Beautiful constellation=beautiful music. Original players! terrific it exists.

Barry if you see this, excellent job with syncing the higher quality audio. It was well worth the effort, and I'm grateful.

Best performance ever!!

first time hearing it.amazeing. beautiful.

Awesome drum solo ... one that enters the memory .... the Dawson solo in Germany with Dave.

I liked this song already, now I love it, thanks to you Barry (I dont know what i love the best, Dave's pants or his face during the drummer's solo☝️)

Gerry Mulligan....Mr Clinton's friend. He also played with the great Astor Piazzolla. Awesome.

Beautiful performance, both by the quintet and yourself. Many thanks!

Dude, you did an amazing job. Congratulations and many thanks...

Amazing 😜 ✌️ 👍

i love this version the most

Whenever i think i went through all great renditions of this masterpiece - a new one pops up - what an amazing performance! Thanks for sharing. :-)

i love this kind of music, bossa nova ,too. it just makes me so peaceful and happy . great job Barry

Wow, this is fantastic, that you synced the audio/video… looks and sounds wonderful

JUST LIKE HEAVEN - JAZZ ´S LOVER HEAVEN, spectacular video thank!!!

Un chef d'oeuvre indémodable depuis 1959.

Thank you for uploading

omg so good!

Great jazz

Beautiful. Thank you so much

Awesome

I remember seeing the DBQ once when Dave said: "we thought we'd try it with a clarinet." It was well after Paul's departure, the sax parts were being done by a guy on clarinet. Different. Excellent sound. I've seen the quartet a dozen times, they are always right on top of it.

Que maravilha !!!!!! Divinal.

Great

Updated for the groovy '70s...

Jazz Heaven! Thanks for making the effort.

WOW!

This is my grandfather's music. Much better than today's music. But as my aunt Rosie says, you can't turn the Clock backwards.

the wonderful Alan Dawson

What do you all think about the difference between "having a preference" - say, for a drummer's performance - versus "one is better than the other"? I love Joe Morello, but damn if there ain't some masterful drumming on this, especially starting at about 8:30! And what about at 10:30 and 11:19, etc.?? That's insanely good drumming. So, of course, it's "not the same" as Joe Morello's take, and you might like his better but COME ON, saying it's better is ridiculous (not that I'm saying Dawson's is better, which is my point). They're different. Enjoy them both. That's the beauty of improvised performances by wonderful musicians. Anyway...leaving my soap box now :-)

well done. good band too.

thank you.

Gerry Mulligan- Smooth as a gravy sandwich!

Insane.

There is another live stream of this tune on youtube, called " The Last Set at Newport " even more powerfully, you may like it too ! ENJOY

And God give us some stars...

You know what i think. I think.. the drummer is joking the team at 13:11 with faking to come back and the rest rejoins. The base player is grabing his bas but than the drummer takes his moment again and you see Dave Brubeck enjoying the moment. My take on this they had some fun with that. :D

los mejores delos mejores en esta grupo de excepción ,BRUBECK y DESMOND ,me gusta por el baterista joe morello., un 10 distinguido.

Paul Desmond and Dave Brubeck were the soloists from the original 1958 recording.

Dave Brbeck goes from accountant to hippie in less than 10 years.

I think I have heard 3 or 4 different versions of this by the same group......All very good,, except Joe is missing from this one. thanks for the post

Man, thart was fun.

Excelente Mr. Alan Dawson the best in drums.

I'd really like to sub in Ginger Baker for Joe Morello, Oscar Peterson for Dave, Miles Davis for Paul Desmond. Just to see what they'd make out of it.

😎😎😎

vey good

Dawson is a beast!
