I personally believe that Joe Morello might be the most influential drummer of his era. His musicality, power, speed and chops are unparalleled. His playing translated to the early hard rock drummers beautifully. MONSTER player.

Indeed. John Bonham seems to be channeling this notable solo by Joe in Moby Dick. kzitem.info/news/bejne/1Ypvq5xusIB-nqw

What I love most about Joe is his wonderful ability to know just when a riff is about to become repetitive, then throws in a few off-tempo strikes or takes the beat in an unexpected direction before resolving it. Keeps the audience waiting with anticipation. He's easily my favorite drummer.

i always thought Moby Dick is John Bonham's giving a tribute to Joe..... by transporting Joe's wonderful solo to the 70s.

I will never forget my dad telling me he saw the band live. Joe was lead on stage by someone as his eyesight was so poor. He sat down at the kit, touched every drum and cymbal once, picked up the sticks and just went 1, 2, 3,,4 and slammed it.

Yep - I saw The Dave Brubeck Quartet in the early 2000s. I was excited, then a bunch of doddery old men tottered on stage and I though oh no. Then they sat down and played like they were badass 20 year olds. The years visibly fell away as soon as they started playing. I actually wept with joy!

My drum teacher was a friend of Joe Morello. He took his students to the concerts, and we got to go back stage after the concert and play his drums, while he gave us pointers. Intimidating but fun.

When Brubeck introduced his 'odd' time signatures, not odd, merely non-western, it changed jazz forever. Imagine how relatively quickly JM had to relearn the drums, to have the discipline and raw talent to do something his every instinct was not trained for, and yet make it sound so natural, so accessible. The Drummers of the Jazz age were so superior to almost anybody that came afterward.

Bonham is my favourite rock drummer no explanation required but for his technique and skill and influence I think Joe Morello was one of the best all round drummers of all time. Also I read many posts which make mention of a supposed Rich - Bonham link but I do not hear it that much. I listen to this and I hear the Bonham - Morello link much more clearly.

Joe was my favorite percussionist from early sixties on. Wish I had been old enough to hear him on tour when Take Five & Time Further Out were new. Those college kids who heard the guys then were lucky. Unlike other things they had the Quartet was appreciated in real time (🙄).

"It has just been 50 years since Dave Brubeck's historic visit to Poland. In the winter of 1958, the most famous band was sent by the US State Department on a goodwill tour to Europe and Asia. The Brubeck Quartet has performed in Poland, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Iran, Iraq and Turkey. The Polish tour lasted two weeks, from March 6 to 19, and consisted of 12 concerts in seven cities: Szczecin, Gdańsk, Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Łódź and Poznań." But the funny fact is that Dave made friends with guy that name Krzysztof Komeda in that journey. Yes, I know that you don't know Komeda, but this is that guy that created "Rosemary lullaby" from Rosemary Baby. Why I write this? (that nobody won't be read) Because he recorded most famous and great jazz albums of all the time "Astigmatic". And nobody knows this record, outside Poland

Love Joe Morello. Those Brubeck records sound so cool, with really effective reverb and spacing (panning at that time?) of the instruments, which really underlines the dynamics. The production was obviously really well thought out to allow those fantastic players to really shine. You could put a picture of Desmond next to the word "lyricism" in the dictionary. Brubeck's solos always take you on an extended journey.

Thank you for an excellent, enlightening and insightful analysis. Joe Morello is a Jedi master and truly deserves the title “the professor”. What he does with a 4 piece drum set, two cymbals and hi-hats is amazing and inspirational. You’re absolutely correct about his books; “Master Studies (I & II) and “Rudimental Jazz”. I found them to be foundational and can be applicable to all types of music. Bravo!

THIS might be my very favorite drum solo. I can watch this for years without getting tired of it. I still think Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer whoever lived, but Joe Morello''s hands seem to be just as fast and he made less noise in his drumming compared to Buddy. He might be the most "musical" drummer ever!

You split the 3 quarter notes into two dotted quarter notes and the 2 quarter notes as a half note. This creates three pulses with in the five beats but you can simply count to two and half because 2/12 is half of five. I hope that helps. It's really 3 + 2 but felt slightly differently. Thanks!

I have never understood Joe's solo in the recorded version of Take Five.......It seems very slow.

I have tried to make it an acquired taste but still don't like it after almost sixty years. Thanks.........
