Jem33 Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 There are 2 awesome Joe Morello drum solos on the video of the Dave Brubeck Band, from Ralph Gleason's PBS TV show on KQED in San Francisco in 1961 -- the classic "Take Five" and also "Castillian Blues." You can find this video for sale at amazon.com -- Search for 'Brubeck' under "Video" -- or find the amazon.com page linked to my recently upgraded page of freeze-frames from the video: http://community-2.webtv.net/Jem33b/Morello/index.html Also from my page: on the liner notes to the CD "Time Out," Paul Desmond, composer of 'Take Five,' is quoted as saying that it was 'never supposed to be a hit. It was supposed to be a Joe Morello drum solo.' I appreciate his tribute to Joe and agree about the importance of the solo to that piece. So shouldn't Joe have a songwriting credit?
