The OG: Take Five

Recorded and captured on film from a show in Belgium, 1964, it is the master. No interpretation here, it is the original full-strength Take Five

I almost don’t want to write anything. This recording from 60 years ago, is not just a super quality recording both audible and the video, but the performance captures the magic of the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

The drummer? That is world-class time keeping. The Sax is flowing and joyful. And Dave’s fingers lively dance on the ivories.

I just got nothing more to say than the OG is the G.O.A.T.
