Dave Brubeck - “Take Five”

1 2 3 4 5. Jazz standards that I was exposed to for the first time in high school always seem shorter when I listen again years later. This one in particular makes me grasp at the air for more music. I just want to live my life within the undulations of this classic tune, is that too much to ask?!

Paul Desmond’s incredible chart and frustratingly simple alto saxophone melody will live on forever, and for any jazz newbie this is required listening.
