Did you know that the classic 'Take Five' by Dave Brubeck is in 5/4 time?

Throughout his career, Joe Morello has appeared on over 120 albums,
60 of which were with the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

I did not know that.

:shrug:

1. I knew Brubeck liked unusual time signatures

though I've forgotten everything I learned, I had a piano teacher that taught me from Brubeck's "Jazz Impressions of Eurasia" when I was about 12 or 13, in the mid-1960s. I played several of his pieces.

[Ptah]

5. I wish I could do that.

:hi:

2. My dear Ptah!

No, I didn't know that!

But I tell you, I love love love that song!

It makes my feet dance...

:woohoo:

[Ptah]

6. woo hoo!

[Pierre.Suave]

3. Additionally...

Did you know that album was nothing more than an experiment in using different timing in music?

[Ptah]

4. Did I miss your apology?

[libnnc]

7. as an ex drum major, what I want to know is

how the heck do you conduct in 5/4 time? :crazy:

[Ptah]

8. I'm sure it's painful

[ulysses]

10. 2 and 3.

Wouldn't recommend trying to march to it, as an ex marching band member.

[swag]

9. I did know that T5 was in 5/4, but didn't know about Joe Morello.

I also know, from personal experience, that the Brubeck "classical" piecee Gates of Justice is a travesty that even a pre-concert of jazz from Dave and the lads cannot erase.

[Ptah]

11. But Gene Krupa and Beny Goodman were in Scorpio's doghouse.

12. Yep, that whole album has unusual time signatures.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Out_(album)

Every jazz collection (or music collection in general) should include this album.

"Unsquare Dance" (from the album "Time Further Out") is in 7/8 -- that's even catchier than "Take Five."

15. amazon.com thanks you!

:hi:

[elleng]

18. OH WOW!

THE ALBUM COVER!!!

[trackfan]

13. I did know that - but only because I've seen the score. n/t

[Ptah]

16. The score would scare me

score>scare yikes!

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Zappa did something in 11/4

I think it was "Rat Tomago" on "Sheik Yerbouti."

[Ptah]

17. I saw Zappa live one time.

I treasure that performance

19. PLEASE DON'T FORGET
