Reviews
Displaying the top 10 out of 13 reviews for "Take Five"I previously had a different version of this piece from a different publisher. This version is much better, because it is more accurate to the original piece (particularly the 2nd music theme or transitional bridge after the primary melody). This is one of my favorite jazz pieces, and the digital version you have for it is excellent.
johnajda
This is the classic music from Brubeck. Just wish they also had Al Jarreaus version available :)
laurie_stapleton
This is the original composition written by Paul Desmond. It is quite hard considering it is in the key of E-Flat Minor and in 5/4 jazz time. However, if played correctly, it sounds exactly like "Take Five," with the swing and everything. If you are an advanced piano student, this should be no problem. Intermediates may have trouble sight-reading, especially with the rhythm. Its a great composition. A true jazz classic.
aznchopin
This one is a lot of fun to play, great arrangement, highly recommended.
Jonathan_R_Gaertner
Wonderful piece, the arrangement manages the solos very good and it appears to be very fitting for piano. Not an easy one, though you get in quickly with good practice. All in all satisfactory!
Joni
Not an easy piece of music, but worth studying for its rhythms and construction, and great fun to master and play.
Marie_Scholes
More or less note for note transcription from the Time Out album version. Difficult to make work as a solo instrument, but excellent reference.
