Full review

This has to be one of the greatest jazz tracks off all time and I can't believe there are zero reviews on it! Where are all the jazz musios on here?

This track got to number 3 in the charts in about 1962 and this is the highest ever position in the commercial charts for a jazz track. The track is an instrumental with solos featured by Saxaphone, drums and piano.

The piece itself is called Take 5 as it is written in the time signature of 5/4. If you don't read music that will mean nothing if you do it will mean counting in 5 rather than 4.

I play drums and find it easiest counting the rhythm (6 letters no vowels!) in 2 and then 3.

If you have never heard the track buy it - I guarantee you will thern buy the rest of Brubecks stuff like on the Album, Take The A Train, Blue Rondo Al A turk etc - in fact there is nothing you can not like about any of his stuff.

99p! Check out the ebay link and the album is on there for £3-99 and the CD Single for 99p! If you don't like it I'll refund the money/1
