Joe Morello, legendary jazz, passes

G

Joe Morello, drummer made most famous by his contributions to the Dave Bruebeck Quartet passed from this world on March 12.

Joe is probably best known for his solo in the 1959 Columbia recording album, "Time Out", which contains several pieces in time-signatures which were then outlandish from a jazz point of view, notably Take Five (in 5/4) and Blue Rondo à la Turk (in 9/8). It was probably Morello’s superbly natural-sounding and tuneful drum solo, as much as Desmond’s catchy tune, which made the former a worldwide hit. Now, half a century later, Take Five is still the only jazz record that many people can instantly recognize.

RIP Joe, and God Speed
 
The non-stop steady hands of Joe Morello, kept that beat going for those 5:36 minutes and seconds, against the continous Brubeck Piano riff, and as Paul Desmond came in and out, and Morello had that nice solo in the middle. Listening to Take Five as we speak,,,,
