Even if you already know the tune, watch the video. It’s a quicker tempo than the standard recording that all of us jazz / band / jazz band geeks know and love, and the drum solo? To die for.
If you don’t know the tune, shame on you! Watch this video and get your jazz on. (Non-music people: it sounds all groovy partially because there’s five beats to the measure — hence the title, “Take Five.”)
[thanks for the heads-up, Wil!]
That drummer just blew my mind!
God, I love this tune. I like it beter at the quicker tempo, I think.
Damn, does he make that drum solo look easy! Hardy moves a muscle, it seems!
This is why I miss Rusty’s Jazz Cafe. Mr. Smoke, please go to YouTube and enter “Neil Peart”. He will blow your mind too.
