Joe Morello | Dave Brubeck Quartet

First heard him on the now iconic Take Five, with the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
He's just mesmerizing on this tune. This song makes me wanna learn the sax man.

This particular one is from the song "Far more drums" from the Dave Brubeck Quartet album "Time further out". "Far more drums" is just following "Far more Blues" both written in 5/4 just like the well known "Take 5".

Here's him on Take the A Train

Well, according to wikipedia...

Brubeck experimented with time signatures through much of his career, recording "Pick Up Sticks" in 6/4, "Unsquare Dance" in 7/8, and "Blue Rondo à la Turk" in 9/8.

Yeah, different. The albums in the 'Time' theme are:
Time Out (1959) Columbia Records/Legacy
Time Further Out (1961) Columbia Records/Legacy
Countdown Time in Outer Space (1962) Columbia Records
Time Changes (1965)
Time In (1966) Columbia Records

There's actually a box set compilation with all 5 CDs, For All Time.

I love Take Five! Never gets tired of this song

Joe Morello was very musical during his solo on this piece.

Time Further Out is the next album after Time Out by the quartet. Haven't lay my hands on it yet though.....
