Listen to the power, speed, and musicality of Morello's drumming. No one could touch him for combining all three. His solo is as musical as any other instrument, which is something few drummers do.
Joe was kind enough to fill in foe my father when the manager told my dad he couldn't have me and my sister in the bar. My dad played the first set and we left in the cab Joe got out of. 1970.
And they both did it with the bare minimum drum set. Rich used two floor toms but the times I saw him in person, he used the back one to put his towel on and never played it. You see so many guys with double sets or 15 tom toms + 20 cymbals. I read something one time about Morello going out to buy a new cymbal and it took him all day to find exactly the one he wanted. I suppose when you were a violin prodigy at age 10 or 11, your hearing is a bit more refined than mine.
Not flaming you, but that's a little funny. I have read that Desmond was a PITA Prima Donna, didn't like Morello at all, because Morello worked hard to keep him in check. And maybe because as great as Desmond was, Morello is GREATER!
A real class act, I saw him live once and was overawed by his natural technical skills. As an ex-drummer, you can't believe how good he was. Probably the best jazz drummer ever!
@@JonHop1 - Morello was an inspiration to many greats (I'm not one of them). I've admired and been a fan of his skills and musicality since the late 50's.
WOW Wonderful music from ( in my opinion ) the very best jazz quartet of all times. What incredible musicians they all are. Amazing sounds & so,so good.
This whole video is great, of course you have the group but the camera work is really well done. Love how they swing around during sax solo so you can see his fingers and in background see Dave and Eugene’s heads bobbing along in the background. Then after sax, swing camera to keyboard and see what Dave’s doing Good stuff
I agree with you, +J. Scott. Buddy Rich was absolutely phenomenal in his technical ability (speed) and the power with which he drove a Big Band. He'll never be matched as far as that is concerned. However, I'd have to say that Joe Morello is one of my very if not favorite drummers of all time. He had the technique but used it in a much more musical way. I feel like he also swung more but then again, that's just my opinion. I know I'll never play at that level :-)
I agree with those who see Joe Morello as one of the best drummers of all time. This tune is actually called Castilian Drums and featured when the quartet performed at Carnegie Hall. If you haven't listened to that version, I strongly recommend it. I saw him live on a couple of occasions and on the second he played the second part of this solo. It is without doubt my favourite of all Joe's wonderful performances.
His original cymbal(and lone cymbal) is at the Zildjian museum. The occasionally let people play, but good luck being one of the few to ever get that opportunity.
They both had great chops. I think it's in the swing though. Buddy's was driving, and Joe's was more laid back which to me feels a little nicer, but they were both great and you can tell within 2 bars it's them playing.
This is how much they respected each other, Joe once said he couldn't do what buddy did so felt he had to do something different, and he totally achieved that. Buddy once said he respected joe highly because he didn't try copying what he did, he did his own thing and made a success of it. Joe also stated that he felt buddy was the one true genius of the instrument, they both loved each other. Both drummers were giants, both were at the top of their craft/field, and as the poster above me said you can tell within 2 bars of them playing who it is. I always felt joe was the more creative player and the more technically versatile as he could play more odd time signatures etc and ventured out a bit more than buddy did, he also had an extremely artistic touch, however buddy was just that extra wow factor, he truly knew how to drive home a chart and make a band stand roar. Love them both, truly superb talents.
Brubeck, who wrote this tune, announced it as Castilian Blues. A year and a half after this telecast, he announced it as Castilian Drums at the Carnegie Hall gig. Take your pick but, originally, it was entitled Castilian Blues.
Sounds like more than a 4 piece drum set, after a while I went down to a 4 piece set, I think it makes me more creative, and more focused on the sound of things, for a little while I used only a 3 piece so I could focus on my snare drum work, Ive had a 5 piece Tama set since around 1979, I was destroying the cheaper sets in a year or 2, but these will last 150 years, unless someone blows them up with dynamite.
Had Enough Morello started with Ludwig in the early Fifties. There were no ”rock”-drums those days: this set-up and sizes were generic and good all-around drums.

So a man looking like an anonymous bank clerk is in fact the best drummer ever.
Yes !
Exactly. Couldn't have put it better :)
It was a smart ploy to keep the groupies at bay ; -)
Same goes for Bill Evans with his "Accountant Look" 😂
great observation - simply superb.
Best alto sax player in recorded history. One of the first supergroups.
Comparing the likes of Desmond, Parker, Cannonball, Hodges, _et al_ is 🤪.
In your opinion.
Everything Paul Desmond played was GOLD!❤
Buddy and Joe.
Neither will ever be matched.

私はこの曲を、聴いてブルーベックに
ハマりました。
何回聴いてもいいです。
この時代の、ブルーベックが、あまりに
素敵過ぎて恋❤️してしまいました。
ジョーモレロのドラムソロもクールで
激しく、かっこよくてしびれます。🥰
Morello’s left hand never fails to amaze...
I always love how, in these Brubeck youtube bits, Dave just looks like he's enjoying the hell out of Morello's drum playing.
You're right. An experience I never observed with Oscar Peterson.
who doesn't?
Desmond always turns a watches him too.
Dave is probably wondering how he got him so cheaply.
@@ayokay123 Did U know that Morello told Brubeck He would not join ,unless He and Drums were represented W/ INTEGRITY ,CLASS AND EQUAL PERFORMANCE...
Brubeck ties them all together, a true masterpiece.
...imho this is one of his best musical and rhythmic solos....
1950's and 1960's were the best times ever - on Sundays, at least.
Morello's solo on this is heads above the one he does on the Take 5 video in Belgium, 1964.
Truth! Thank you for your astute observation.
Ever so tasteful that Mr. Morello
Just amazing, the lack of pretension, they are simply there for the love of the music. And the drum solo was great and easy to understand.
Not flaming you, but that's a little funny. I have read that Desmond was a PITA Prima Donna, didn't like Morello at all, because Morello worked hard to keep him in check. And maybe because as great as Desmond was, Morello is GREATER!
Wonderful. Complete mastery of their instruments and their dress sense
Who could play in 5/4 like nobody else? This fabulous quartet
Joe never breaks a sweat, never!
Man those drums sound good
Brubeck recruited Eugene Wright to play bass; he believed Wright was the best jazz bassist out there. He was right.
A real class act, I saw him live once and was overawed by his natural technical skills.
As an ex-drummer, you can't believe how good he was. Probably the best jazz drummer ever!
+Alan Westcott -- "Probably the best jazz drummer ever!"
I agree 100%!
One of the better drummers ever, Mr Westcott.
Amen, Alan!
@@MarvinJudson Me too
Totally agree. Saw them twice at The Free Trade hall in Manchester with one great solo from
Joe before the performance (as he as tuning the drums!)
Another Brubeck masterpiece in 5/4
Joyful. Thanks to all of the amazing musicians and especiallly to Joe, playing with his feet. Drummers don´t just have hands!
Brilliant 😊
AMAZING DRUMS FROM JOE LORELLO !!!!
New to me but excellent.
Another work of genius in 5/4 time.
God Joe is the best. I could listen to him all day.
What a foot on this man! It's the same sonic boom! as Whole Lotta Love! How these guys just drop back into the groove after the solo is insane!
Bonhams main inspiration was Morello
@@JonHop1 - Morello was an inspiration to many greats (I'm not one of them). I've admired and been a fan of his skills and musicality since the late 50's.
One word COOL. Nuff said.
Браво Брубек! Браво Морелло!
He always played with class and style like a ballerina.
The Left Hand of God!!!!!
WOW
Wonderful music from ( in my opinion ) the very best jazz quartet of all times.
What incredible musicians they all are.
Amazing sounds & so,so good.
Better than Oscar Peterson? ( I hate all this "best" stuff folks.)
Absolutely, superb performance by (the always amazing) Dave Brubeck quartet, with another fantastic drumsolo from Sir: Joe Morello!
Wonderful

Morello was a former violinist, that's the reason he got an incredible left hand.
Joe Morello.. masterful
5/4 SOLO DRUMS MAGNIFICAL !
Joe is the best!! listen to Castilian drums he snaps
the master of 5/8
Internal domain and relaxation versus modern body builders .. big difference ..
Joe Morello was the best
+J. Scott
yes ...
+J. Scott AFTER BUDDY.

Did Joe know he was the greatest of all time.?
Well spoke Mr Nolte, well spoke ! CMJ
his voice really changed a lot over the years
Joe's left hand was the best Buddy couldn't match
Wrong
@@vgr112261 Joe's left was 100% better n more precise as well
...the Ludwig silver sparkle and supraphonic brass snare belong in the Smithsonian....
His original cymbal(and lone cymbal) is at the Zildjian museum. The occasionally let people play, but good luck being one of the few to ever get that opportunity.
Απλά Υπέροχο Quartet !!!
Morello...
Any of them still alive? Never see anything like it again.
Eugene Wright, bass player, still with us aged 97 !!
@@colinbartlett9851 About a week after your comment he passed away.
Really makes you wonder why the modern drummers have colossal drum kits,hmmmm!
Imagine what these geniuses would think of the current autotuned rubbish.
Because Joe creates TASTIER CHOPS...
imo, he's bested Buddy.
(im not talking speed...I'm talking tasty chops man!)
Naaaaah.
@@charlesjensen7918 Yep

From the original album, countdown, there are two seperate tracks...castillian blues and castillian drums
You could set your watch to Joe's syncopation!!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!! =D

una maravilla nomás pues¡¡¡¡
Blues in 5/4....
who can beat this in 2019
I wonder why the song's name is "Castilian". Anyone?
Lot's of Spanish influences? Iberian? Good question.
Thanks for uploading, but I think that the title is Castilian Drums.
It is.
they best music is listened to by the blind not the dumb..............
Could never understand why Joe switched from Ludwig to DW later Om.
The new Ludwigs are great.
👍...
👊❤️➕🇵🇱➕❤️👊
Jeff Goldbloom? 2:00
Not bad for a guy, Joe Morrello, who was legal blind by the mid- 1960s.
He was legally blind from day 1.
@@JonHop1 Did not know that Jon. Thank you!
Is that a 14x6.5 snare ?
the drummer looks hes dying to do a big mad solo lol
If you haven't got ze time Justy, skip to 5:32 - this will hint at what I was reffering to man magic treeeeez :D
Line up please??
This track is Castillian Drums, not Blues.
I love that Joe passed on Gretsch jazz drums and used more of a Ludwig rock kit.
Had Enough Morello started with Ludwig in the early Fifties. There were no ”rock”-drums those days: this set-up and sizes were generic and good all-around drums.
Dave obviously has got restless legs...
He used his legs to keep time.. he's talked about it a few times
Gee I wonder who inspired Chick Corea?
