This song requires no introduction, as it is one of the most popular jazz recordings of all time. Paul Desmond's "Take Five" was actually a radio hit... something quite uncommon for a jazz quartet release, and add unique for its in a 5-4 time signature. The flip, "Blue Rondo a la Turk", is the second-most-famous Brubeck song, and once again in a challenging time signature for the average listener, this time in 9-8! Both tracks are essential listening, so let's listen. Enjoy. :)
