Take Five

Take five is a jazz song of the Dave Brubeck Quartet . The song is pretty much the biggest hit of the quartet and can be found on the album " Time Out "in 1959 . It is also available in addition to "Greatest Hits" and "Live at Carnegie Hall".

The song was written by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond . Characteristic of the number are the 5/4 time signature which the number its name, the clear and melodious saxophone part of Paul Desmond, the long drum solo by Joe Morello in the middle section, and the piano part which - on the B section na - only from ES m - berry m7 exists. Through the 5/4 time signature, it is almost impossible to dance to this song.

Although "Take Five" is not the first jazz composition which was used this signature, it is the first in the United States really became known. The song has been covered many times and also used extensively in films and television programs, including Man bites dog , Pleasantville and an episode of The Simpsons . There is also a vocal version, the most famous version is with singer Carmen McRae, with text by Dave Brubeck and his wife Lola.

The original score by Paul Desmond Dave Brubeck Quartet plays that contains a theme and two improvisations, usually played by the saxophonist, and a drum solo by Joe Morello. Paul Desmond later wrote another theme in five beats per measure: Take Ten. Dave Brubeck, for his part, wrote and performed with his quartet Far More Blue and Far More Drums (on the album Time Further Out), still in 5/4. Paul Desmond reportedly said: "When ITake Five composed, I thought it was a piece to throw in the trash, and after having spent too, I thought I would receive adequate copyright to an old Mark Ronson shaver buy. " Paul Desmond gave all copyrights to the Red Cross . ==Some covers [  edit ] ==
