Joe Morello showing pure mastery with his legendary “Take Five” solo
@SVG__Collection Thanks for posting, I always loved Buddy Rich growing up then I learned about Joe Morello, so cool.
@SVG__Collection Morello is such an amazing drummer, and he looks like he could be a physics genius. 🥸
Joe Morello was my Uncle Joey's drum teacher. My Uncle Joey was my drum teacher when I was young (between the ages of 10 and 12). Morello was a master. My uncle always made me understand what a jazz great he was. It was a lesson not lost on me. When I see this - I understand why.
@SVG__Collection An all-time great. Dave Brubeck sits and watches in admiration. "The Senator," Eugene Wright steps back with the bass for a short break. Great song. Great lineup.
@SVG__Collection @fan_cornell The ease that he does this is really amazing 😁
@SVG__Collection Dave Brubeck Quartet had the greatest ensemble of musicians!
@SVG__Collection You could see this guy on the street in the 60’s and have zero inkling you’re in the presence of one of the best drummers in the world.
@SVG__Collection All while looking like a banker. 😂
@SVG__Collection Masterful—thanks for sharing. The triplets on the snare are remarkable & note how he flips the sticks around at the beginning to use the butt end for more impact.
@SVG__Collection I cut my teeth playing this solo…I still have his sticking method book … so fun
@SVG__Collection Play match grip style as well.
@SVG__Collection Always impressed by a drummer that plays while wearing a suit.
@SVG__Collection So cool, reserved, no dripping sweat, suit and tie
@SVG__Collection Didn’t need a kit covering half an acre
@SVG__Collection Jazz should be mandatory for every drummer. Seen too many rock drummers that believe speed equals talent. They make mistakes and fail to lead the band in a coherent direction. Charlie Watts never flashed a day in his life but you could adjust the atomic clock with his pocket.
@SVG__Collection This is why we give the drummer some! 🥁 🔥
@SVG__Collection Yeah this was on a tape, playing endlessly, and had a profound effect on me.
@SVG__Collection Good Lord the truly talented make it look so easy! Give me those sticks Joe!
@SVG__Collection Why do drummers hold the sticks in different ways? Comfort or training?
@SVG__Collection While looking like an accountant or bio teacher. Great stuff.
@SVG__Collection I've been playing since I was micro and I've noticed that people chew the music like gum. If there's any kinda give away in Jazz and where it's about to go it's the chewing of the drummer. Eating it up is what I call it
@SVG__Collection I’ve always loved that track! Truly impressive!
@SVG__Collection When I first listened, I rewound the tape; was like a piano could hear the notes behind the beats..the repeated riff was coming from the drums with the same note pattern. Thought it was an illusion, but it was..even if you listen to it naked you would say it was "take five"..
@SVG__Collection Wow! And the poor man can barely see!
@SVG__Collection @Radical_Retard Joe Morello > Tom Morello
@SVG__Collection I love the control. I just spent the weekend with some drummers who believed that "louder is better." 😠
@SVG__Collection So that's what drums are supposed to sound like. This man just taught me what I never knew.
@SVG__Collection Amazing! While in a full suit + tie! Appearances were once taken very seriously
