I'm pretty sure that Paul Desmond didn't think that when he wrote it. Thanks to Joe, the solo caused this album to be the first jazz album to sell more than a million copies. Not bad.
I've been listening to him since the Take Five album came out. I've been playing drums since 1965 and Joe is - in my opinion - the greatest drummer ever! Louis Bellson and Papa Jo Jones are tied for second.
What a lovely guy, I just thought he was so cool in that iconic video back in Brubeck Quartett, pure inspiration as I started learning alto 8 years ago, we miss these giants forever❤😊
I watch and study a lot of drummers and have shown him to my friends and people to compare to other drummers. They all in time have said. Joe morrello is the best drummer. His rythoms and creativity is unmatched. Every one copies from him. He's the best.
Per anni Morello, ascoltandolo Lo considero Il Batterista Jazzista con Uno SWING SPECIALE MONDIALE una Velocita' Spaventosa! I SUOI 5/4 E ASSOLO DI TAKE FIVE UNICI !!!
Time Out is one of my favorite records of all time. I listen to it at least once a week, and it still sounds as captivating as it did the first time I heard it, some 50 years ago . The Dave Brubeck quartet will forever be one of the greatest. RIP gentlemen.
Yes I agree, great sense of rhythm and the inspiration for Rose Rouge bt St. Germain. Connie Kay is another great drummer who is a strong presence without the noise
For anyone out there who says that either the cross grip or the match grip is better, should take a look at 1:40 when Joe does both with ease. A good drummer uses anything that works. Joe was a master at everything! I've never heard anything negative about his personality. He was always the humble gentleman who complimented every other musician.
Less than 7k views for a master of polyrhythm and grandmaster of time? (insert stereotypical grumble about young whippersnappers and their presumably inferior musical tastes)
Drones.! Too many drones with little computers in their grubby hands that don’t know the difference between a magnificent drum solo and the Dunkin’ app. Sad
As Duke Ellington said, “If you have a great band with a mediocre drummer, you have a mediocre band. If you have a mediocre band with a great drummer, you have a great band!”
Amazing people don't realize when drummers then go back you go to John Bonham who is influenced by Buddy Rich and Buddy Rich was influenced by Joe Morello. ,Joe is one of the greatest drummers ever.
She says, "I can't believe this was first done [the drumming on "Take Five"] 36 years ago." Since "Take Five" came out in 1959, this interview must have taken place in 1995, not 2001. P.S. He doesn't answer the question of whether or not he's blind. That's a clickbait question you put on there.
It is impossible to underestimate Joe Morello's importance for drumming technique and books with valuable sheet music/technique exercises for drummers - as well as Joe's importance for jazz i.a. at Dave Brubeck and the "quirky" time signatures. But when I hear the solo he plays at the end, I hear a hi-hat playing à la Joe Jones/Buddy Rich as well as the bass drum in the same style. Joe is one of the greats!
The atomic clock is set to Joe Morello. The greatest ever.
One of the greatest drummers ever right there.
100%
I've only just discovered him in the last year and I realize that he is a true legend and the coolest drummer ever.
thats the man
You won't believe it till you hear it. 🤔("Green Fire" UK) 🌈🦉
"Take Five", was a throw away piece. Now that's a keeper statement if there ever was one.
I'm pretty sure that Paul Desmond didn't think that when he wrote it. Thanks to Joe, the solo caused this album to be the first jazz album to sell more than a million copies. Not bad.
Joe’s left hand never fails to amaze…
My all time favorite Drummer. R.I.P.
very interesting intervieuw, joe really was on another level. people forget what a legend joe is
What people?
He was on the level of Buddy Rich he just didn’t have that ego so he didn’t need to show it off as much. And his understanding of timing is unmatched
Moby Dick before John Henry Bonham stole half Joe's solo's.
What a legend, yet so kind!
Wow , still had heat at his age . So good
One of a very small group of GOAT's imo. At the podium.
One of my core influences, love his work and a very classy Dude.
Legend!
Really Cool guy
I've been listening to him since the Take Five album came out. I've been playing drums since 1965 and Joe is - in my opinion - the greatest drummer ever! Louis Bellson and Papa Jo Jones are tied for second.
i agree. Morello a the top of the mountain.
Пусть Бади Ричь тоже разделит с ними второе место,Окей?
What a lovely guy, I just thought he was so cool in that iconic video back in Brubeck Quartett, pure inspiration as I started learning alto 8 years ago, we miss these giants forever❤😊
he's amazing
Back in the day jazz was pop, i/e popular music. Songs like Take 5 & Cast your fate to the wind were #1 on the singles charts. Great clip. Thanks.

Never gets old listening to him play. Springfield’s finest
I still have my Joe Morello 22” cymbal, & love it& sill wish i could play it 😅
Wow! I met him many years ago, He gave me a cymbal too! LOL Good Man!
Awesome drummer
Very interesting how musicians and singers come up with their songs and style- Joe Morello, cool name too!!

Saw him live when young some 50 plus years ago

holy shit what a legend
He made those drums talk!😁
😀😀 It's Great to see Joe is still playing music 🎼🎼🎼🎵‼️♦️♦️♦️
Joe defo in top 3 drummers of all time 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
A fabulous drummer,and he seems to be a nice man.

Awesome, and that understates Joe. My apologies Joe. Absolutely amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed the clip.
the best drummer.
Absolutely
If you have any doubt about his greatness -check out his recordings with Marian McPartland
Joe is all finesse. Buddy is all speed and power.
Genius, a True Percussionist....NOT just a Banger
Best ever...
Just WOW

1:43 flipping the left stick to the butt end

Switched his grip out. The eff?
indeed
Amazing people don't realize when drummers then go back you go to John Bonham who is influenced by Buddy Rich and Buddy Rich was influenced by Joe Morello.
,Joe is one of the greatest drummers ever.
Really???? I'm no Nuddy Rich fan but he was around long before Joe Morello😅😂😊
I’ve never read anywhere that Buddy Rich was inspired by Joe Morello. I certainly have never heard Buddy Rich say that.
Wow. A music god.
Nobody today innovates like this
Good Night!
Jenius drummer deserves a huge salut best drum solo ever ❤❤❤❤❤
I see so much of Joe in John Bonham.
Respect 👏🏻 nummero uno of drummers, Joe Morello sorry to Ian Pace or Billy Cobam and the best psychidelic drummer Nick Mason.
He would have been an incredible 'Rock n Roll' drummer!!
Well, he is John Bonhams favourite drummer!
Greatest drummer ever, worst recording sound engineer ever.
Gotta love her wig
Why did he leave LUDWIG ..?
Joe started with classical music...
Ya gotta remember that hes almost totally blind here😮

Good interviewer too. Ask a really good question. Then shut up. Follow up if appropriate. If not, ask another really good question. Rinse and repeat.
ridiculous left hand
Play a note then count 50 bars and go home 😂
Had he not had an eye issue, and opted out of playing in an orchestra only because of that, think of what the jazz world would have missed.
12 syncopated avalanches describes this solo
That solo was not like the original, though.
Typical of jazz musicians… solos never seem to be played the same way twice.
Waltz limp brubeck
