I liked the original better, but i agree that this is the spirit of Jazz and this piece is a great work of its own. I hate it when people try to act all snobby and say everything in jazz should be done like everyone before and never change anything!
wow, when was this recorded? he kinda sounds like a mix between Nelson Rangell and Sanborn, with their Brilhart, Dukoff, or RIA mouthpieces. super edgy and bright.
hi i play alto saxophone, i think its a good modern interpritation of take 5, so i dont think it can really be criticized as it was never suppose to be a replica of the original . Both this and Brubecks original version are awesome, but very different!
I do find the arrangement a bit cheesy, but they are all great players and it's a treat so see some visual footage of Roger Rosenberg. He has a great bari sound!
I suppose the thing to do for creativity and evolvement, is to rework stuff. But while this is of a high technical standard, frankly, it just doesn't get inside the coolness of the original. Neither was it supposed to I suppose?
...besides the fact that these guys are noted players I feel the same...it has kind of a commercial approach. 5 stars for the ensemble playing and the soloists...but only 1 star for the arrangement.
Yeah, this does sound like 80's porn!!! Ha, ha. This is just to elevator for me. I mean, this song was coooooool, you know. A little to cheeze for my taste.
well, there's freedom in america. but i must say a mutilation at the very least. it's good that people still listen to this, but come on. if you're gonna change it, at least do it well.
wat a very nice piece...

No credit for the bass player ? MJOrchestra didn't mention Mark Egan ! what a great bass player he is .
I saw that bass player on North Sea Jazz last friday, with the NTI All Star band...
Still has this haircut :P
Monster bass. Jesus god.
...is that Mark Egan on bass??
Oh and what song is this where can I find the score?
espaciales...!!!
It's okay, but nothing can beat the original. You can't improve upon perfection!
Eb in the original key i think :P
Is that Skeletor in the backgorund or a Meth Addict?
chris hunter

Cuz its jazz? I dunno, I haven't usually seen chinese orchestra instruments play jazz.

even chris himself would disagree with you

I'm sorry, but I don't like this. Take five has got to swing, and this is played completely straight.
haha why dyou think it was hilarious?
