Re "Take Five":
Good catch by Rok re the absence of Morello’s solo on the video and interesting comments about his timing which go to the heart of the tune and to Tito Puente’s version (yes, they are all connected 😉) . Morello was undoubtedly a brilliant drummer, but the reason that he "strikes in unexpected places" in his solo on the original version of the tune is because the tune is in 5 (hence the title). Being in 5 (five beats to the measure) the accents at the beginning of a measure or phrase feel "unexpected" in comparison to a tune that is in the much more common 4/4 time. Which leads me to Tito’s version: the heart of the tune is missing. Tito’s version is done in 4/4 and consequently sounds and feels very awkward. A melody composed in 5/4 is "forced" to fit ino a Latin 4/4 rhythm.
Btw, notice how much faster the tempo is on Brubeck’s live video version vs the album version.
Interesting interview; Paul Desmond interviews Charlie Parker and speak about practice and schooling:
