Same for me. I almost never upvote music on here, and I didn't even like this at first, but after a few seconds it started to remind me of Dave Brubeck, so... upvote get!

Whoa-I threw up the entire set about 10 mins ago!

13 beats to the bar. I LOVE the improvisations of Desmond. Brubeck can only keep up, tho it's his composition. Great find! Beats the Take Five entry.


paul desmond is credited with writing the tune.
it's in 5/4
meaning 5 quarter note beats per bar

This video is seven minutes and twenty five seconds long, and thus erroneously named.

That is all.


HAHAHAHAHA!! Right you ARE! =oD
It does mean we get almost 50% more music than we were promised!


So much for leaving them wanting more! =oD

This is a really special song to me even though I'm not really an aficionado of jazz. I first heard it in college, and since that time I have come across so many other people in completely different walks of life, geographical locations, and age groups, and they all are just as jazz-inept as I am but know it and love it just as well. It really has the ability to penetrate all sorts of cultures and eras. Very cool.


I'm not much of a Jazz fan either, but I know quality when I see/hear it [at least in MY mind] =o)

Can someone please explain Jazz to me? So much of it just sounds random and dissonant to me - like that entire stretch from 1:00 to 1:17 or 1:53 to approx 2:50. It just sounds so gross. I'm almost physically repulsed by the ugly sounds coming from that sax, and it is a startling constrast with the beautiful intro of this song. What is the merit and reasoning behind Jazz?


It's improvisation. Sometimes you have to really be in the musicians head, so to speak, to get it. Because it mostly depends on how they feel at that time. Listen to the one in Norsueleffanti's link, that one is a little more melodic.

You can't go wrong closing with Dave Brubeck.
