Many of you know Tito Puente from Oye Como Va fame. yeah, he wrote that.
Today he is playing Take Five. Another famous tune written by Paul Desmond and made famous by The Dave Brubeck Quartet. The biggest selling jazz single of all time.
A pretty big deal.
Tuesday morning and no reason to have the blues. Winter has us in our grasp. -4F for the high temp today. 3″ of snow. Take Five today, and do your snow dance.
Enjoy Tito’s version of Take Five to start your week out right.
King Tubby with this Dub cover. It is in 4/4 time…so loses some of the feel from the original, which is of course in 5/4 time. Lots of Take 5 covers over the years. I think I like them all!
Enjoy your Tuesday. I’ll be humming this all day long…
Apply today to Headhunters Fly Shop. Do it.
