Awesome Jazz 2

This song is "Take Five" performed by Dave Brubeck's band back in 1961.

The song is called "Take Five" because it is in 5/4 time instead of the usual 4/4 time (for all the musicians if you know what I mean). And it is a "3 + 2" 5/4 time. So you count 3 beats then 2 beats; one two three, one two, one two three, one two, etc.

Just a little background for more appreciation of the song =)
Enjoy!

Dave Brubeck - Take Five


P.S. Btw, Dave Brubeck is not the drummer. He's the pianist.
