I 'only' had this at a 9 - WHAT WAS I THINKING?
A new and Shiny 10 has been issued
Bad day? Well, at least you were at the average.

This reminds me of the year 1966/67, when a short TV commercial by BMW had this intro. And the slogan "Aus Freude am Fahren" (means For the joy of driving). At 6, I didn't know yet what jazz was, but it made me curious. Fortunately, to this day.
Cool story!!
Yes, but "does it swing"
There was the rub, at least for Mingus and Miles
GREAT!!! & ICONIC without "swing"! Mingus & Miles are both GREAT & ICONIC! ...Just a different style than Brubeck! I love all three of them!!

Since I pretty much never take 10's seriously, they don't count (IMHO) in this instance either, but notice the great agreement on this particular tune.
FWIW i raised it to 10 too from 9
This drummmmmmming is a precursor to "space and drums" you would hear at a Dead show, 10 years later
I like and agree with everything you wrote except for the need to refer to us as "kids". You could have just left that out it still would have the same effect.
That it, you go sit in the corner. You get an 'F'!
And that kids, is how you do a drum solo. Another instrument takes up the beat leaving the drums room to play. I never understood why rock bands always think that drum solos haveto be done literally "solo" while the rest of the band steps out for a beer. How many of your favorite guitar solos would be enjoyable to hear with no band behind them? Also kudos to the drummer for knowing that the pauses are as important as the strikes.
Exactly. Drum solos have to remember the beat.
It does have the same drive. I suspect Ginger Baker might have had a little to do with this. Just a guess
Seems unlikely, if this was released in 1959 it pre-dates any notable exposure to Ginger Baker
Brings to mind "Do what you like" by Blind Faith.

Truth spoken my friend. I use Take Five to teach my students how to structure a drum solo. The quintessential template.
I rare 9 on RP. I wish there was a setting to hear only 9's and 10's to see what we all agree is true musical genius.
Does this help a bit? :)

(No setting to hear them, but might make an interesting playlist on YT etc.)
Good catch, Proclivities, I think I started answering a different question than OP asked; that is, songs featuring non-common time signatures.....which reminds me of King Crimson and Frank Zappa. I'm also struck how different it is to try and remember what something sounds like versus what something looks like.
Jethro Tull's Living in the Past is 5/4 ... Ian's homage to Dave and Co.
We've got to have some music on the new frontier”
Donald & Walter knew.

Never a frown...
That's actually Laurence Mason's cover of "Golden Brown" in the style of Brubeck. https://jazzineurope.mfmmedia....
It's in 5/4 time. Hence the name of the song "Take Five"
Just wondering. Sounds just amazing.
That is when stereo recordings started coming out. Jazz artists were early adopters.

“Time Out” studio sessions, was recently released in commemoration of
Brubeck’s 100th birthday. Which are previously unreleased takes from the original sessions: https://youtu.be/JVGVHGTyn6w

Things you should not try at home:
playing along on your drum kit
Take Five hundred something...
Not sure about the Porcupine Tree song, but Take Five is in 5/4

Toute mon enfance, j'ai cru que Dave Brubeck était au saxo.
Pas de vidéo sur le web pour me rendre compte que c'était Paul Desmond. Au saxo.
Sans vidéo, sans web : va vérifier qui joue quoi.
Jusqu'à ce que je me trouve un été au Nice Jazz Festival devant Dave Brubeck en trio avec un bassiste et un drumer. Mais où était Paul Desmond ? hahaha
Les puristes disent que ce n'est pas du jazz.
ça se discute. En tout cas, qu'est-ce que c'est bon.
Merci RP.

And permit me to mention the name of that excellent drummer: Joe Morello

I'm almost a year older than this song. Guess that's why I love it so much.



Everyone said he was fantastic.

Alto sax. Nice one too!
And also the guy who wrote the song. (sax player Paul Desmond)
This song (unusual time) follows Porcupine Tree's Train (unusual time).
So now, today (Friday) is unusual.
GROOOSSSSSSS!!!!
Would you let Thomas Kinkade "highlight" the Mona Lisa?
The Dave Brubeck Quartet 1951 - 2012

There are no coincidences. BillG is reading our minds.

You got your wish. Yay. And you got some "likes".
There was a lighthouse where the foghorn blew every hour on the hour. One night at 3AM, the mechanism failed and the foghorn was silent. The lighthouse keeper jumped out of bed and yelled "WHAT WAS THAT?"

Alto sax. Nice one too!
I believe "Money" is primarily in 7/4 time; "Breaking The Girl" is in "waltz" time: 6/8. Other than this song, the best-known song in 5/4 time is probably the theme from the TV program "Mission: Impossible". Nick Drake's "River Man" is also in 5/4 time.

That is really what I think.

followed by Dave Brubeck Quartet "Take Five"
On my own, never would have put these 2 side by side.
Like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
That's why Radio Paradise is great :-)

"Whipping Post" by the Allman Brothers is in 11 (for the verses).
Actually it is easier to groove if you count 1-2-3+1-2 (a waltz and polka).
In my ears, it sounds much more like 1-2, 1-2-3 than the other way round...

I think the most famous (Rock) example would be Money by Pink Floyd (which happens to be a 10 rated song by me, just like this one!)
I think Radiohead has done a bit of funky time signature stuff...although I'm not a huge fan so maybe others can chime in on that. Likewise, Tool "experimented" with 5/4 signatures too, check out the song "Schism."
And off top of my head, maybe the Red Hot Chili Peppers got funky on "Breaking the Girl" - I'd have to hear it to confirm but I could swear it is.
And overall it's an interesting question, since most of what we here in Western music is 4/4. Heck, check out Ravi's sitar stuff (or any authentic Indian music) and try and guess what the time signature is. It's totally different and not easy to figure out at first due to the complexity.

Amen to that. Time Out was the first LP I ever bought. (Still have it!)
Oh, my! Does that ever stir up memories of black turtlenecks, hornrim glasses and snapping fingers in a coffeehouse... :)
I totally agree. Wow, this drumming!
He also has some very nice 7/8, and you might want to listen to Nova Nova's Tones, it's 11/8 (!)
Trying to tap your foot to it is like a sport!

Timeless classic song!
So old but it never gets old, always there to pick me up when I am down, boost me higher when I am up! RP is one of the few places where I heard different versions of this classic!
I Agree!! Very well stated!!
