    I don't know why people would think the flute would not be great with "Take 5." It's not the instrument playing the music; its the person playing the instrument, and this woman and her combo/classmates threw down (did great)! Great going guys!

      Tried listing to several renditions of Take 5, and it seemed like all the sax players did a poor job. They would go so quiet on many of the notes, especially that quick little run that it all just blended into one note. But this flute player seems to be hitting the notes better than the sax players

      Não sei por que as pessoas pensariam que a flauta não ficaria ótima com "Take 5". Não é o instrumento tocando a música; é a pessoa que toca o instrumento, e essa mulher e seus combo/colegas derrubaram (foram ótimos)! Ótimo pessoal!

      TBH the drummer is the driving force in this video. The rest seems tied -down to the notes - resulting in them being just less interesting and only drawing attention to when they're slightly out of touch/feel

    Sometimes you find some classic you just want to play endlessly on repeat. Like this iteration.
    It feels like I just had six ten-minute breaks per hour, thank you.

    I used to play this in the 7th grade, 1963, I was playing alto in that year. in fact, before band class, I was playing it, then over the intercom, we heard Kennedy was shot. I'll never forget that day.

    I PLAYED THIS TWICE TO MAKE SURE that it was as good as I thought it was originally and it was. The flute & the brushes all had the right touch. I believe these solo's were transcribed from the original solo's, the drum solo partially THIS PERFORMANCE IS A KEEPER !!!

    These young musicians were making MUSIC. That was their main concern. Not going through some kind of individualistic competition or malabarism of sorts. The more I listen to music and watch people performing, the more I value what these guys did. Thank you, Jazz Laureate.

    Oh my God was this great! I was on my computer working on a spreadsheet and listening to Pandora when this came on. I thought to myself, "A flute?" I quickly went to TH-cam and there I became mesmerized by this fantastic group playing Dave Brubeck. Ms. Varela had me in the palms of her hands. I played the video three straight times and saved it on my hard drive for future enjoyment. I hope everyone in the group is still progressing in their careers. Each of you played beautifully. I'm a drummer myself and the man on the kit blew me away.
